This blog is dedicated to applique. Glorious applique!!! The focus here will be hand applique, but there is room for machine applique too. Kim McLean is the designer whose patterns and quilts we will be working on together. Are you ready?! Let's SEW!!!
This is my first block done whew juat a beginner .Have used beach house as the background hope it will work ok.Any advice would be welcome .Know my needleturn shows hopefully I will improve
I can't believe you're a beginner--this is lovely. Really nice background fabric. You are going to have so much fun! I recommend looking at the books and video done by Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins of "Piece o' Cake" if you want more instructions. Their directions are very clear and well illustrated. And keep reading this blog-a constant stream of helpful tips.
Beautiful Wendy, I think your needleturn is just great! Love your flower fussy cut, and the background is lovely too! are you using the same fabric right through for the background? Well done, keep it up! Kim McL
Thank you all for your nice comments.Yes using the background for the whole quilt.I have been a quilter for 6 years but have only just thought maybe even I could learn needleturn.Between Kim's beautiful patterns and Kaffe's divine fabrics what chance did I have lol
Positively wonderful, Wendy!!! Your needle turn does not look like the stitches of a beginner, and you have quite artfully used your fabrics too. I am tickled if you have been lured into applique. Hooray, and welcome aboard!!!
