I can hardly wait to get started on another hand-appliqued quilt. I have done machine applique, but I really prefer doing it by hand. :wink:

I love to do hand applique. Sitting with my feet up and making stuff is fun for me, but I have nothing against machine applique. I do that too. The eagle on my avatar is hand appliqued. I had the good fortune to have a sweet lady at a quilt show many miles from my home take the time to teach me needleturn right after I started quilting. I am more than willing to help others learn.
