OK, we are officially unoffical sisters!. Being adopted with a father of Irish heritage (& a bit o' the Scots, too) & a mother of unknown origins, I'm game if you are!!! Hooray - I've got me an older sister - & she quilts!!!
P.S. I think I'm getting the better end of this deal!

We have always had Birthday rules in our house. If your birthday falls on a weekend, you get the whole weekend to have everyone serve you and treat you like royalty. If it falls on a weekday...you get the entire week!!! I love those long ones!
Thanks for the tip Linda..I've never noticed it either...will have to check it out!

Leslie,
Are you using Irish Linen to do this applique? It looks like an evenweave fabric as opposed to 100% cotton that we use for quilts. Will the technique differ with the different fabrics?

Tidy up the turning, before you make the last few stitches.
The last bit gets pushed under, and then stitch to the end.

Regarding a possible different technique, no, I use the same technique whether it is batik or ordinary cotton. If you think you might want to make your quilt doing it this way, may I suggest you practice on some scraps first? That's partly why I put the pics on here so early, to give you all plenty of time to try it (or to help you decide to go down the machine route, or try a different hand method).
