My first stab at applique today. You can't really see the anntennae, but there are thin purple lines there! This is MUCH harder than I would have thought. I need lots of practice! Of course, I'm stuck with a jamming up machine and can't finish the binding tonight!  ******************************** ROFL! LOL! Its a RR at the LQS! We're gonna make a bunch of HST and then practice our FMQ! What the heck does that mean?! Look here: http://boards.hgtv.com/eve/for...4011632/m/4553927667 .JPG) | ||

Great job! I can't do machine applique worth beans, so I applaud you for your efforts. It looks marvelous. "Never be afraid to try anything new. Remember, amateurs built the Ark. Professionals built the Titanic." Unknown. | |||

You did a great job. Most of us are so afraid of our machines we steer clear of appliqué. It is one of my favorite things to do by hand or machine. Its so pretty and you get to pick out whatever you want to add to your quilt block J Lu | |||

If that is your first attempt--look out world once you improve! great job, cute helper, and lovely butterflies with purple antenae. | |||

Oh wow your applique is great for a first time- in fact, it's just great My first attempts were, shall we say, not presentable Lisa ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I know how you turn a blanket into a quilt, Mom. You add some love to it." ~ J., 7/08, age 7 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |||

Nora, you did a great job!!! I love those colors. I'm not wonderful at machine applique either, but I like it whole lot better than hand applique!! That needleturn applique is so gorgeous, but I haven't gotten the hang of it yet for little pieces. Now, Needlecrazy might not like machine applique, but let me tell you -- her hand applique is to die for!! Her name's not "needlecrazy" for nothing!!! www.floridafarmgirlsworld.blogspot.com Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain. | |||

You did a beautiful job! I can't belive that's your first - you should have seen mine. With time it will get easier. | |||

 |
Nora, your work is awesome. You are a natural..Sure is better than my work. | |||

Pretty! I have never done machine applique, only hand applique. I like your helper, too, I have a halper. I always think he is watching the needle go up and down and what if he sticks his paw in there!!
