well I got all my supplies now all I need to get are the machine needles #60 micro-tech I am not sure if I" m going to machine applique' or do needle turn. I think this will be fun

Here is my block ( I am trying my hand at this it is not sewn down or Embroidered jet Since I am new at Applique' I need to get some feed back what do you think Please give feedback

I like your colors. I have not decided yet if I will machine or hand applique but am leaning toward machine.

WOW! So pretty. I love your colors!

Love both blocks, Lynnie. That second one really pops.

After Kathy posted her tutorial on machine appliquing, I tried it and really liked it. But for this one I am doing it by hand. It will be my evening project to sit with hubby while he watches t.v.

Lynnie, I love your fabric choices!!! I find that to be really hard (my DH helps me). I know in a second if I've made the wrong decision, so I audition a lot.

I like your second block the best too...it does seem to pop more, although I like the 1st one too. I don't think you could go wrong either way.

As for the technique, you'll just have to make a personal decision- machine vs. by hand. I am doing needle turn by hand as its a technique that I really want to learn and get better at doing. I also need a hand work project for tv time at night with DH. There are lots doing machine though.

Thanks for giving me the link to the post for all the AOTH projects Kathy.

I love your block by the way, can´t think of your name now, the one without the embroidery, colours work well.

Elle

luv those colors

Kathy, both very good,like the second one better. I do the needleturn technique, I want to start this one soon,but have to wait to finish a committment first. Also have to get some more batiks as I never used them much on my budget,I have the black bg,needles,threads,etc . Jo
