It sounds like you have allll kinds of help but, i have a 6 needle embroidery machine. I can do applique in like, minutes flat. Do you want to send me the blocks of those who don't know how to applique? I have tons, (literally) of fabric or you could send what you think should be used. I figure you are going to be pretty busy putting this all together so if i can help by apping the blocks let me know!
Great thing you are doing. I'm so humbled to be part of this group. I'm really a newbie here and didn't know you guys did stuff like this. THIS is what it's all about!
