Become a Custom Applique Designer - Super Easy!
Custom applique quilts are easy to design - with a little inspration from simple line drawings.
When the standard patterns just don't excite you, create your own. It's as easy as flipping through a child's coloring book or searching through clip art.
Custom appliqu?uilts are perfect gifts (and prized heirloom treasures) for celebrating the birth of a new baby. When the mom-to-be picks a less popular nursery theme, it can be hard to find a coordinating gift. That will make your custom appliqu?uilt extra special!
One woman chose a "Cat in the Hat" theme for her newborn's room. She wanted something different and knew she'd have to custom sew and accessorize just about everything in the room.
She turned to an old coloring book for inspiration. The lines in children's coloring books are generally simple, especially in coloring books for younger aged children.
For the crib quilt, she enlarged a coloring book page of the cat's hat. Using the enlargement for a pattern, she appliqu?red stripes onto the hat which she had cut from white fabric.
With the help of iron-on adhesive, she added the striped hat to the center of her crib quilt top and stitched around it with a satin stitch. She added coordinating prints around the sides for the border and without much effort at all, had a custom appliqu?uilt. She used the same techniques to add characters from the famous Dr. Seuss story to bumper pads and to create a wall hanging for the nursery, too.
It's easy to use the same procedure for creating a custom appliqu?rom clip art. Pick your theme, then start looking for appropriate art. The important thing is to look for simple lines.
Don't forget that you can manipulate some clip art. Once you open a clip art file, see if you can select the image then choose "ungroup" from the edit command. If it will allow you to ungroup, you can make simple changes.
For instance, if you're looking for a Santa riding a reindeer, but the one you've found has ornaments hanging from the reindeer's antlers, ungrouping will probably allow you to actually delete those ornaments from the art design. Don't forget to save your art once you've completed your editing!
Many quilters prefer to assemble the custom applique separately, then finish by stitching it to their quilt top or quilt block. Others, however, like to assemble piece by piece onto the quilt top or block by basting, then finishing the stitches with either an appliqu?titch, zig-zag or satin stitch.
You may also use fonts in the same way. It's really easy to create a custom appliqu?uilt with a name or favorite hobby ("Cheer!" and "Play Ball!" are two that come to mind). Just type the words, making the letters the size you want. You may have to print the letters individually rather than on one sheet if you want them to be substantially large.
You can even make custom appliqu?with Greek letters for your favorite fraternity or sorority member by using a font like Symbols for the pattern.
Once you've printed the letters, they are your pattern for your custom appliqu?esign. Experiment with the positioning once they're cut out. Have fun and create interest by overlapping the letters in some places.
You must observe copyright laws when using other media to help you design custom appliqu?atterns. Most art is under law in which if used for personal use only, there is no copyright infringement. If you try to sell your custom appliqu?rojects using the already published art, you are likely in violation of copyright law.
The same goes for fonts. There are many websites that allow viewers to download and use free fonts, but most of those include stipulations that the use of the fonts must be for personal - not commercial - use only.

Does female beauty exist or is it just a cultural (non-biological) concept?
In every other species and even our species in the past, male beauty is considered more important in "mate selection"than female beauty (the female selects her mate based on his "fitness" i.e. the strongest, healthiest & most good looking male (he would have the best genes).
from charles darwin's book "the origin of species":
"males compete among themselves to attract females, showing off their antlers, bright plumage or other ornaments that signal good health. Females watch the display....When a male meets a female's approval, she grants him permission to impregnate her. "
...the males are the ones that are pressed into developing ornamental features over many generations by an evolutionary process known as sexual selection. e.g. In humans, the taller stature of the male, is a result of female preference "
So my question is why is this this reversed in our present culture? Why do women display (sexy clothes, high heels, makeup, jewelry) and compete to attract men?
Your first sentence is incorrect. Many organisms, especially invertebrates, have males selecting females and even bringing them nuptial gifts. Your quote from Darwin could be considered " quote mining ", as he did not apply male beauty traits to human sexual selection.
I could go into it in depth, but it is obvious you have some sort of ideological agenda and are not capable of the nuance required in sexual selection theory.
Human sexual selection rather cuts both ways, but this does not preclude the female symmetry requirement. " Red Queen " selection is certainly going on in humans.
I suggest you try to take an undergraduate class in evolution so you do not look so foolish next time.
High Tide has a very coherent answer and so does Thing 55001.
