First of all, thank you!!!! I always feel like like I don't have enough time to work on my projects.

secondly, gridded fusible is single sided fusible w/ 1" grid lines on it. I've only purchased it once, not sure if it comes in other sizes, but what I got is 45" wide, and I purchased 4 yards. I then iron the 2" squares for the double Irish chain onto the fusible, and then flip it over, sew along the grid lines, and voila, the top of a quilt!!! LOVE the stuff!!!

Kittygram....your work is wonderful! I love applique and am learning how to do needleturn...yours looks really great, are you sure its your first attempt? BTW...our sofa is exactly like the one you show under your doll quilt. :lol:

Thank you!! Yes, first attempt!!! I see my mistakes, though!!! LOL!! We're always the most critical person when it comes to our own work!!

My friend's Mom and Dad have the same furniture, too!

Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing

I love all your work - I don't know how I missed your thread previously as I would have replied sooner.

Your Needleturn Applique is lovely - the patterns are not ones I have seen before?

thank you quilter1962. It's called Applique Affair. Just google Laundry Basket Quilts - it's one of those!!!!

I haven't even touched the applique since late April. I've been needing "instant gratification" lately!!!!

I'm going to try to add a few more. Let's see how the camera's working tonight. It's been giving me some problems.

For my ex-MIL, part of her 70th b-day gift. They weren't quite finished at this point, but I forgot to take pics of the finished products : (

I had so much fun making this wall hanging! I've been looking on line for more, even tho the 4th is over.

all are very nice
