Hi Regina,
Welcome from Kansas. I love Applique as well, my next quilt for my bed, is going to be a combination of techniques. Applique, punch needle, etc. I made a Sunbonnet Sue for my daughter, over 20 years ago,she is now 25. She now wants me to make her something cool with black in it. I started teaching her how to make her first quilt this week. She is going to enter it in the county fair here in August. She and I both are so excited, she for making her first quilt, and me for her getting interested in quilting, my passion. I love it. Nice to have you in the group.
