I have recently learned to do hand applique and wanted to know if any of you have favorite patterns you would be willing to share with me? I NEVER thought I would enjoy doing this, but it is so much fun, and very rewarding to see the results of my work! I will post a picture of the one I am working on now, that is if I can figure out how to download pictures!

Try doing a google search for free applique patterns. There is lots out there free for the searching.

Thank you for the suggestion. I did search for some, but it gets overwhelming at times! I was hoping some quilters might have patterns they just love and want to share. My sister in law got me started, and she has created a monster! :-)

try www.fatcatpatterns.com it has lots of applique patterns

coloring pages make great applique

Thank you so much for the link! There are some darling ones there. I have saved the link and will refer to it many times I am sure :-)

That is a great idea! Thank you for the suggestion :-)

I totally agree with Kwhite...children's coloring books are a great source. Also, (along this idea), on line you could look up Clip Art and if you have a holiday, theme, or whatever, you can narrow your search.
I've also used applique from fatcat patterns and they are wonderful.

My sister in law said she sees things in magazines that she likes to use. I guess my imagination just wasn't in gear to think about what can be used! Thank all of you for the ideas!

bunnyhill.com is running free snowman patterns now...what theme are ya looking for???? I have lots of patterns but don't know what you like or need
