I am nearly half way with my Life is Beautiful blocks & some of them have applique as well as stitchery so it's time to try this and finish these blocks.
I'm a jet at blanket stitch applique but needleturn looks like doing grown up applique so has been avoided to date. Now, armed with a DVD to watch that came free with Quilters Companion Magazine I am set to hopefully add a new skill to my sewing bag.
Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated!
Happy stitching

Good luck!! I prefer the starch method myself. Love your blocks - the applique will finish them off perfectly!

I am afraid I settle for blanket stitch, Good luck with learning needleturn, it does seem like grown up applique.
ReplyDeleteLove your lib stitcheries they look great in the blue. I made this quilt too but mine was in browns.
