My 1st attempts at Applique
#15
The flowers were drawn by an extremely talented lady who works at one of our LQS here in Denver. I can't take credit for the colors, they are hers. I hope to finish the embroidery details on the latest 2 blocks this week.
As for what I want to improve, I have a lot of trouble getting pieces placed correctly, so could really use tips for that... My points are pretty rounded still on slender leaves and such...
I guess my real problem is that when I look at my work, I see the errors much easier than the good parts.

Looking good...applique is very addictive, so be aware, this is the start of a very long relationship! The flowers and colours are lovely and well done for using embroidery to add an extra dimension. Always save interesting fabrics/beads/sequins/and other potential embellishments in little containers....you never know when you are going to need a dewdrop on a leaf or a shimmer on some grass....
