Thanks Marie. It only took me about 6 years (LOL) but I only worked on it
for a couple hours every Thursday afternoon at our little hand work quilting
group. Thus the name 'Thursday Afternoon'. I love to do needle turn
applique.
I love making tops but don't much like to do the actual quilting process. I
had thought to hand quilt this one but after one block decided it wasn't for
me on that black background. My sister's business partner is such a
fantastic quilter that I knew she would do a wonderful job and she did. She
quilts for people all over. She did all but 2 of the quilts in Karen Coombs
book Celtic Pieced Illusions.
Try needle turn applique. It's really not too difficult. You just have to
remember to only turn under a bit more than needed to make one stitch. Then
go to the next etc. That way you get nice smooth curves and sharp points.
