Here are a few more picture of how to use simple shapes to create more intricate designs.

 

A fun way to embellish any quilt, wall-hanging, table runner and much more.  These are just a few of the samples from a group that meets at my house once a month to learn something new.  We have been in the wool applique mode, ever since they all spent a day designing and choosing background, wool, threads and embellishments for their first project.

Another one of Dorothy's creations.



My friend Dorothy designed this one in just a couple of hours. We started with simple shapes and kept on auditioning and adding elements until everyone was happy.   It was her first time working with wool

 

These others are pic's of a circle challenge.
