The second kits goes to Mary who said this:
"So cute and sweet. I will make one even if I don't win,
but if I win I could make two. I'd love to win the kit because
the little zip bag is so cute and I can always use
another zip bag for all my hand projects. Happy 4th!"
Mary please email me with your shipping information.

Summer Spools - Step Three
This step involves a little applique. If you do not like applique
you can make a few more spools and replace the
applique with a few more blocks.
Using your favorite applique technique add these motifs
to your 11-1/2" square cut from background fabric.
