I'm not in this group, but I have to say these are ALL just STUNNINGLY Gorgeous!!!! Even with all the different backgrounds, they are amazing.
I haven't learned applique or embroidery, but wanted to ask if the stitched hearts/curly-qs are done by hand or with a machine?
Such creative Ladies!!!!

Linda, I am also new to hand applique. These ladies are so nice and extremely helpful. They make you feel as though you can do anything applique. Hope you will join us.

Lennie........your blocks are beautiful!!
I forgot to ask earlier, do you use a hoop or just pin it to the ironing board to place the pieces or to do the curly qs?
I just ordered the book and Buckley DVD that was suggested. These blocks are so pretty!!!!
I hope the DVD gets here quickly, I have a lot of batik scraps I can use.
:)
