I haven't tried chenille applique. In fact, I have never even heard of it. That has been the case since I have started visiting here. I have learned a lot just by reading about and looking at what everyone here has done.
I did buy a book that has a chenille rug and chenille pillows, and I bought the cutter. I just haven't found a fabric that I thought would work well yet. Now I'm thinking Camo might be fun..
When you try it, give us a pic.
