Perhaps editing it to fewer lemons would be more appealing. How about adding a cross section slice for variety? Don't give up on this sweet idea!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035433796631359696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1118067118933182266.post-71881997821330808852012-06-20T04:23:31.262-04:002012-06-20T04:23:31.262-04:00I nearly missed this post...

Maybe there needs to be a bowl in there but still with lemons overflowing - I like the abundance. Or treat it as a Kelly-Made fabric and cut it into some smaller pieces and use with other fabrics. I put things away if they're not working or ask Phil for opinions. Thanks for the great tip of doing just the outline with fusible to stop it getting stiff.Rachaeldaisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437603769773251690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1118067118933182266.post-78620012383043014702012-06-19T18:51:13.370-04:002012-06-19T18:51:13.370-04:00I missed this post last week.

It's small but cute - maybe add another lemon where the scratched out leaf is. The blue background is perfect! <br /><br />When I get stuck with anything I put it down and come back to it later.
