good place to learn about applique
Here is a super good site to learn how to applique with the back basting method. The first time I tried it, I didn't really like it very much. A friend kept encouraging me, and soon I changed my mind. Most, but not all, of my applique is done this way.
Also Connie Sue Haidle has a pretty BOM. The current one is almost done. There were three versions each month: beginner, intermediate and advanced. Look and see when she starts a new one. http://www.appleblossomquilts.com/tips/ Happy applique, cleodaisy |

Back Basting Tutorial: http://sentimentalstitches.net/instr...hand-applique/ Points: This is the one that helped me. About 3/4 of the way down the page (date is 9/25). Also has lots of various info throughout the blog. http://www.allaboutapplique.net/cate...turn-applique/ Hope you folks like these :) I've bookmarked several. Debbie in Austin |
Appliqueing is my favorite!!!!! I have a couple of projects I have to get back to after the holidays.
|
I just finished my first appliqué project for my moms birthday and really enjoyed it once I got used to the method. It wasn't perfect, but looked great and was made with love.

Crafty Bear, you must be reading my mind. In 2012, I want to make a special quilt for my BIL. He and my sister lived on a paddlewheel boat for several years. They now have moved to Kansas and plan to sell the boat. I have made some photos of the boat and want to turn it into an applique that I can put in the center of the quilt ... is that clear as mud? Anyway I would be interested to know how to do that. Maybe someone on the board has done that.

The dogs I have finished now and gotten all the eyes and noses and embellishments on and have it quilted. I have also gotten the Woodland Creatures quilted and bound since this pic was taken. |
