The painted gingkos are finally Wunderundered and machine appliqued in place. I think they look like pollen grain under a microscope! I switched to this brown/purple batik instead of the royal blue. I really wanted to couch the glitzy Oliver Twist chartreuse yarn along the leaf edge. The blue would look too cheesy with glitzy trim. A little glitz goes a long way so the larger outcircle is stitched with 2 rayon threads, a bright yellow and lime. Shimmer without the glam. I also tried metallic thread with good stitching results. No stabilizer was needed to do this applique. Invisible thread was used in the bobbin and for couching.
