Liza has ALL Kaffe fabrics. See Kathie's comment for the website. Which ever way, as long as the shapes are on the background fabric and you're having a grand time, that's all that matters!

If your hands can not tolerate doing applique, there is NO reason these patterns can't be done by machine. I dare say you can even do BOTH!!! Just be sure to have fun!!!Piecefully Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17984767264496705062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438520712984321582.post-77807992033641297012010-09-02T18:30:17.991-04:002010-09-02T18:30:17.991-04:00Yes by hand and for the fabrics well as the others...Yes by hand and for the fabrics well as the others are saying buying them on line.<br /><br />Happy stitching<br />ChristineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438520712984321582.post-57394336677112085252010-09-02T14:45:37.198-04:002010-09-02T14:45:37.198-04:00Hello,

Do whatever you like best.<br />Here in Belgium it is not easy either to find Kaffe fabrics, and often, when you do, they are a lot more expensive than 'regular' fabric. I'm doing the Lollipops with fabric from my stash, to make it more my own and because I also see it as a challenge, if I can make a 'spectacular' quilt with 'regular' fabrics. But most of all, you have to enjoy what you are doing I think.Françoisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16520579721229830065noreply@blogger.com
