I must admit I have a new addiction which of course also goes with respect for appliques and all the steps that go into making them! However, the end result is so stinkin' cute! I had the honor of making a dress for a friend's little girl who is turning one this month. When she asked if I could do an cupcake applique, I was giddy like a little school girl. I had just gotten the embroidery module for my machine this summer and had yet to try my hand at any appliques...technology is so cool (most of the time)! She had picked out the fabric and sent it to me so I decided to do a test run first...

Even with all the thread changing and cutting and trimming...I just sit and watch in amazement at the capability and precision this thing has. Aside from my Harley...this is also one of my babies! I am however still working on that relationship with my serger but it is a little more finicky or I am not patient enough, not sure which that might be though. ;) Anyhoo, I was off to do the "real" one for Kate! I loved the fabrics she picked out, the colors are so sweet and worked well together. 

I only wish the bib was bigger to see the fun pattern and colors in the bottom of the cupcake but still, so CUTE!!!  So the finished combo turned out well and I cannot wait to see pictures of her (keeping fingers crossed it fits!)  What do you think?

So here is the completed bib with the dress...LOVE! 

Hope everyone has a wonderful 11/11/11 and thanks to the past and present men and women who have served our great country, we would not be where we are today without you!
