would love to try needle turn applique
I have been cruising around the web trying to find a pattern for my first needle turn applique. I have pieced for years but would love to try needle turn applique. If you have any favorite patterns let me know!

I hand applique. I do one square at a time. I can carry it with me where-ever I go, like the Dr.'s office. I'm lucky to get anything done, but one young boy was so fascinated with my work, his dad took him straight to the quilt store. I'm never lonely. I can also sit & work on it while watching tv. I don't really "watch" tv. I grew up on radio. I prefer to hand quilt, but I'm so busy I often pay to have it machine quilted. My sister in Oklahoma has a long arm quilter, so I get the family rate, which includes free delivery! She even took a picture of my grandson getting his birthday quilt.

I had read when I was starting out that the most used shape when teaching needle turn is a heart, It has it all, an innie point, an outie point and a curve.
Here's some patterns with not too much detail, look on the right for the applique patterns.

I love applique. Only been quilting a year and at the same time started applique. Took classes on the plastic template method. Love it. Then our guild had Nancy Lee Chong here doing her Hawaiian applique, which is needle turn. Must say I really enjoyed that and would take her class again.
In January at our LQS we have a class starting, Applique 6 ways. Really looking forwrd to that.
Will try to follow this on the group but I am so lost I may never find you again. Will this be under the main topics???

I'm in too! I just finished appliqueing a Sunbonnet Sue by hand and now I'm hand quilting it for a Christmas present. I found I really enjoy hand applique and asked for more silk thread colors for Christmas.

And how nice that you have a longarmer in the family! I keep a little project bag ready to go all the time, too - I have my iPod full of interesting things to listen to - including the old time radio shows from the 30's & 40's. And the applique keeps my hands busy, so I'm kept out of trouble.
