Linda Ann, don't worry about spelling of my name. In the UK (where I was born) the differentiate between Leslie for males, and Lesley for females. Here in Ireland, they only seem to know Leslie as a male name. In fact, in places like hospitals, they often think I am going to be a male when I turn up, one hospital even allocated me a bed in a male ward!

As for stab stitching in a hoop, it isn't that it's impossible (from the embroidery point of view), I think it will just take a little longer, but stab stitch is definitely possible using a hoop. I don't know about applique with needleturn though. You might have to experiment to see if you can make it work in a hoop.

Back to Block 10, I'll post pics with individual comments, that might be easier.

I put the coloured fabric behind the black, and basted on both sides, making sure to leave room to tuck turnings behind.

Once it is basted, snip the black down the middle of the drawn line. Not all the way, just an inch or two at a time, then tuck it under and stitch

I trimmed away on the back (the part (on the left) can be used for other pieces in future

The back, fully stitched. Because the turnings are narrow, try to put more stitches than usual.

Some of the centre added. Don't tuck under any areas that will have another piece sewn over it.

I trim away everything I can (the circles are too small to trim.)
