How did you learn to do this? I know there are many books out on applique, but if anyone knows of a really, really good (and easy to understand) book that I can order, would you let me know?
    Hey Ducky

    How's your Ducky doing I love all your avatar pics of him - it is a he I assume LOL.
    Well the NT Applique technique I taught myself from watching You Tube etc. I did ask another member here on the board whom I am good friends with too - she guided me also. Maybe you could go to your Library & see if there are any books there. Our Libraries are always well behind the times they drive me crazy.
    Good luck with your search Ducky - oh I think Patrice posted a thread regarding Applique too, it was over a year ago I think.

    Tisha :wink:

    Thanks for your comments - I am sure it will work out OK - I HOPE !!!!
    If I need to use a smalle seam allowance then so be it.
    Hope you stick around long enough to see the end result could be this time next year before it's done LOL. Be patient now :wink:

    Thank you Lisanne

    I'm sure it will work out OK in the end - I did chuckle to myself when you said Save the vine! - makes it sounds as if I am going to kill it LOL.

    Ah thank you for your comments, NT scares the pants off of you!!! I will remember that the next time I pick up my needle & thread the thought will make me chuckle & pull me through the next 8 blocks.
    I love NT it's so relaxing - got to keep going Chele said LOL.
