Ladybug Butterfly Snail Applique Patterns

Hi there, I am back with the 2nd group of applique patterns for the Secret Garden Quilt, this time they are the Bugs  Applique Patterns consists of Ladybug, Butterfly, and Snail. Similar to the Flower applique, these little cuties were made by iron on raw edge applique and quilt with trapunto method.

A little update about my new craft studio, I am happy to tell you that it is 90% completed. I am going to move in 2 weeks later but will be still running between both houses for another month or 2 until everything can be settled down (including my kid’s school transfer).

Stay tuned for my next update on the applique pattern, songbirds, tree & sun & font for the Secret Garden title.
