Would someone be willing to post up-close pictures of their applique? I'm trying to figure out if what I imagine it looks like is really what it looks like.

Thanks

Here is a closeup of my flowerpot..... hope this helps!

Not the absolute best in applique, but not too bad for a first time!

eta: also mine is needle turn

My first free motion piece.

Thanks for sharing!!

The leaves is one I am currently working on (raw edge applique)

The Christmas wallhanging is blanket stitch applique

I wish my first applique turned out that nice!!

Lady-T, what does raw edge applique mean? Also, is blanket stitch done with your machine?

I see you're in Iowa...me too!!!

Here is my tute on Raw edge applique : http://static.quiltingboard.com/uplo...lique_tute.pdf

scroll all the way down and you will see some different stitches for raw edge

In raw edge applique the appliqued pieces do not have the edges turned under.

They are usually applied with fusible web and the sewn around the edges,
You can do a multi-stitch free-motion zig-zaggy motion over the edges, satin-stitch,

or a straight stitch 1/8-1/4" inside the raw edge to encourage frayed edges
(like on my leaves)

You can do a blanket stitch with your machine bnut on the Christmas piece I did mine by hand.

Not sure where Sully is...? I'm over by Ft Madison

Sully is about 50 miles east of Des Moines, just off I-80.

Thanks, Sharon. The pictures are very helpful!!

love the leaf

What type of applique are you interested in?

This is a pillow I made for my DGD.......raw edge applique.

That bunny is so dang cute!!!

AWW!! CUTE BUNNY!!

This hand applique is beautiful! I like handwork therefore I love needle-turn applique. Stitches are hidden in the folded edges of the applique piece about 1/8th inch apart. On the back it will look like tiny little running stitches. Sorry I don't have a picture to post but hope this helps.

I'm not really sure. Someone mentioned that one of the months in the House BOM will be applique. I'm trying to get prepared. :)

Here is one of the 12 Nutcrackers I'm working on for my DGD's quilt. I have 9 of them finished and took time off to join the Row Robin and Farmer's Wife Quilt before working on the last 3. I appliqued the Mouse King using a very narrow satin stitch. Hope this helps. Belles

This is helping me as I to am interested in applique, thanks to all of you!

Here are three of mine. Two are wip's on a tyme to water quilt that are both pieced and hand appliqued accents and the last one I sent to my Mother in Law for christmas.

Red Garnet222: Do you have the pattern for the poinsettia? It's beautiful. I'd like to try it.

You guys are the greatest!! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work.

Thank you........it was a free pattern called "Honey Bunny" from "Don't Look Now Designs " site.

Gorgeous pieces of work!

I just finished this one; machine raw edge applique.

It's beautiful.

I love it.

Very nice. They are beautiful.

Here's a couple I've done. The top one is needle-turn appliqued and the bottom is raw edge machine appliqued.

Here is a picture of my applique 30's quilt

These are three techniques I love to use.

I do satin stitch.

Beautiful examples of different types of applique! Congratulations to all. My personal favorite is needle-turn but I'm about to try fusible with a tiny zigzag stitch around the edges. I'm told we have to "get out of the box" once in awhile.
