I referenced this pattern in the posting about the walking horse pattern/material....and I finally got a hold of my friend who is doing the mermaid one...so she pointed me to the website.

The main site is :http://www.threeswans.com/
And the mermaid pattern is: http://www.threeswans.com/item_view.php?PRODUCT_ID=86

The show you how to do it in reverse applique and then also something called "quick fuse" which is how my friend ended up doing it.

It is a gorgeous look!
