Want to learn needle-turned applique
I'd like to learn needle-turned applique (thanks for the post under "Tutorials") and would like to know what's an easy, doable pattern for a newbie. I've done fusing and machine stitched applique, but have been a little afraid of doing the turned under variety. I'm in love with Affairs of the Heart, but think that taking on 36 blocks would be a bit much for me right now. Please suggest away!

The 2-fabric appliques from Nancy Chong of Pacific Rim Quilt Company are great ways to start with needle turn. They are small projects, don't require preparation of a lot of small pieces, and you wind up with a cute wall hanging.

This long video did it for me!! I also did machine applique but wanted to learn needle turn. Love Sharon's tutorials. No need to do something with the tiny pieces her bird requires!
