I used the tips and tutorial from Crap I've Made. Have I mentioned that I freakin' love that blog title? I even used the template she provided for the number 1. Ain't nobody got time to reinvent the wheel here people!
I struggled with what fabric to use... I wanted it to stand out, but I also wanted subtle. I think this looks a little like confetti!
A couple months ago, Val @ Purple Boots and Pigtails gave me some inside info on how to machine appliqué. I wrote 'em down in my trusty notebook and followed them to the letter on this one.
I even used stabilizer!
We had a great day of celebrating as a family today. Birthday pancakes, ripping the paper off their first presents, lots of singing and smiling! And tomorrow, there will be cake!
And since it's Friday, I'm linking up with TGIFF @ Quilt Matters and Finish Up Friday @ Crazy Mom Quilts

ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to DT! My how quickly a year can pass. I hardly ever do applique, so I always forget to use the stabilizer.
ReplyDeleteI hope you got some grown-up celebrating in too. A year of parenting twins deserves a big treat for yourself.
