Applique Valentine Bowl

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS FOR EACH BOWL BEFORE STARTING

Materials List:
Fabric of your choice for front, back and Applique hearts
Med weight Tear-a-way or Heavy wash-a-way
Threads to match (it is usually best to use thread that matches your base fabrics for you tack down stitching).
Optional—tem-tex or Wal-Mart has a stiff stabilizer similar to the tem-tex but it’s a little thinner and easier to work with, this is what I usually use this as it is also cheaper than timtex.
