I love appliqueing, I have manly done on the sewing machine, but I am a teaching my self to quilt, and I like to sew 2 pieces of fabric together, and making a small slit in the back of on, and turn it right side out, it looks needle turned, and is easy to do. God bless. PS.. your snowman is very cute. and I love the cat wall hanging, and I would love to see the other one finished.
