I LOVE applique work...by machine that is! (grinning) I have several pictures and quilts I've made using applique. I made a wallhanging this summer that welcomes friends in my home. So. Count me in!
And..talking about applique. Has everyone seen the new curved rulers that allow you to cut leaves and ribbon shapped borders? My sister and I bought all three sizes and a pattern. You back your fabric with adhesive like wonder under and then cut out the shapes. I was amazed that there was very little waste. The quilt on the front of the new Primitive Quilts magazine is ideal for using this ruler. Of course it's machine applique.
It's called the Leaves Galore Ruler by Sue Pelland Designs.
