Here is the first ever applique that I have done and it is on its way to canada. Binding sucks, but it is only my 3rd to do. Got to learn the tricks to binding.

That is adorable! Is it your own design? I love their expressions.

That's really cute! I think your binding looks fine. There are some helpful tutorials out there you might want to check out. I like this one myself. I don't do the whole thing the way she does, but I do follow her tips for assembling the strips together, the corners and ending the binding. Here's the link: http://sharonschambernetwork.com/fre...gel/index.html

How adorable is that applique?!! So cute! Your binding looks great. There are tons of tutorials for different binding techniques and it really just takes practice once you find your preferred way. Look how well you did on the applique. Binding is easy compared to that! Make more, okay?

The applique was easy, the binding is had. I am getting the front ok, but when I machine sew the binding closed it looks bad. I am now trying the stitch and ditch method, looking at getting a zip tool. I know it just takes practice.

Thanks for the smile.

Very cute!

Candace 01-26-2010 07:07 AM

Liz, it may just be easier to hand stitch the back binding on. It's the only piece of the quilt I do by hand. Even though I could do it with the machine, it's nice to have something done by hand;>

Very cute wallhanging!

sandpat 01-26-2010 07:09 AM

Really really cute!!! You'll get there with the binding...just go slowly and practice. :-D

bj 01-26-2010 07:15 AM

That is sooooo cute. I especially liked the cow! I added their site to my favorites. I have a nephew coming in May and need to get started on a quilt for him. I haven't done much applique, but may give one of those a try.
