LOVE the make-up bag CBK! Those colurs are so rich!
Blackdove, yes that is my hand work, if you can call it that. BUT..it is decoartive, NOT structural. THose bits are ironed down with stickum and hands stitches, crude and country-like, are added for 'primitive' homespun appeal.
The applique that my grandmother used to do involved cutting out your shape with a 1/4 inche seam all around it. Pin it to your work and then carefully, with the tip of your needlie, tuck under that 1/4 inch seam and stitch the applique with the tiniest, invisibilest stitches ever. Patience, patience, patience!
