Yes it is needle turn applique and then embroider with embro. floss and silk ribbon embroidery embellishment. It is a Piecemaker pattern from the 2003 calender. Yes Sew Extreme I do teach,but I cant come to your farm right now.lol And Lady T all it takes is practice and patience. It took me a year to make the blocks. set it together and hand quilt it.
