My applique teacher had a picnic at her house yesterday with the people from two classes that did "Birds of a Feather". About 20 showed up and we were in all different stages of progress. I was just amazed that each quilt will look so different. I've heard it said that quilts will look different even with the same pattern but this show and tell was a testament to that. I wish I had taken pictures to show everyone. A couple of ladies brought their "Dear Hannah" quilts and those were a work of art as well.

I love applique. I do fusible right now. I would love to learn how to do the needle turn applique but for now the fusible works well. I know lots of people do fusible so don't feel less than because you don't do needle turn.

machine computerized applique
I am most proud of my Sun Bonnet Bells. It Queen size and it's always on my bed.
The one with cats is just cut outs from a fabric I liked with a satin stitch all around. The last is the first of many appliqued blocks for a quilt I have planned with Native American Indian designs and simulated bead work as the sashing and border using 1 1/2 inch squares. I think it will take me a while to get that one completed.

I think I found people after my own heart! I am a newby at this, but I think I just love applique. I want to know how your satin stiches come out so perfect...I can not seem to make my machine move that smoothly. All of your work is so cool... I have done some rough edged applique on a rag quilt, and am "thinking" about doing a childs wall hanging that is touchable/washable with some real "textures" I would love suggestions for something like that. The one that I have done is a Nursery Rhyme story quilt. Please suggest away.[ATTACH=CONFIG]342032[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]342033[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]342035[/ATTACH]
The wall hanging I thought would be fun to design to go at the end of a crib.
