Love seeing the sneak peaks of fabric! I need to pull out my machine and get back to work on my wall hanging this week. Can't wait to see the finished results of everyone's work!

A day off from work has given me some time to work on my WHing.

I have been wanting to do a real piece of hand applique for the WHing swap for a very long time. The time is here!

Seventeen more pieces to go.

Your appliqué work is simply gorgeous! Is this piece needle turned?

Thank you, Linny. The original pattern calls for the work to be machine appliqued. I am using the freezer paper method and starch to shape the pieces then lightly tacking them in place with Elmers Washable School Glue before hand stitching.

I have seen people who do gorgeous needle turn applique and it is an art skill I would love to explore more. As my coordination gets better I will start to try my hand at it.

Do you do Needle turn? I could use a few tips for getting started.

ube, I do not do Needle turn although I admire greatly those who do. I've done many hand appliqué items, and many machine stitched (spending most of my time staying as close to the edge as possible). I do love using elmers glue. It helps so much. I just love the look of your wall hanging.

Thanks Ube...I can't wait to see your finished wall hanging. I haven't tried hand applique. Yours is beautiful!

Love the pics of all the wall hangings so far. I have mine ready. Decided to try purple/blue Dresden plates. PMed Rhonda I am ready.
Sorry I hadn't been on the Board for a while. Have arthritis and some how got trigger finger in both hands for all ten digits at once. Long story short, I am looking forward to getting back to quilting again. Looking forward to seeing all the wall hangings everyone has been creating.
