The ivy leaves gave me fits!  First, I searched Google images for real leaves and drawings of leaves.  I'm pretty sure that I mixed up two kinds of ivy on one plant - five pointed leaves and three pointed leaves.  Mother Nature is not happy with me.  I use the applique technique of putting the sticky side of the freezer paper toward the back of the piece and pressing the edges to it.  This green fabric is not a batik, and it raveled like crazy.  I threw more than one leaf out.  I do like the way the leaves look as I sew them across the pot and down across the shelf.
