Last week I decided to participate in Amy's One Thing, One Week Challenge. I am taking an applique class at one of my favorite quilt shops and we are doing Aunt Millie's Garden a pattern from Piece O' Cake Designs. I have not done any needle turn hand applique before, but have done several machine applique projects. I have taken several classes over the years on the technique, but have not taken those lessons home with any specific project in mind, so I don't have any real experience or practice at doing it.
Finally Jeannette over at Piper's Quilts and Comforts has de-mystified needle turn hand applique for me and I am doing it and enjoying the process rather than being intimidated by it.
So for the one thing, one week challenge I said that I wanted to finish the first block, well even though I didn't quite get it done I did finished enough of it to share and am confident that I can and will finish it before our next class.

so pretty!! I'd love to take a class there... once this baby learns how to go to bed...
WOW! I think I need classes there!
Wow! That looks very pretty and very difficult. I don't get how people do the stems, but maybe one day I'll take a class and understand. Looks amazing!
Needle turn applique is definitely on my to try list...that and paper piecing. But I'm gonna start small. Maybe with a pillow. LOL
Wow! This looks great and complicated. Maybe someday I will try this!
I was totally going to take this class from Janette too but had to much on my plate to even think about it. Good for you!!
That is wonderful. I love the colors!
Way to go! Feeling more confident is more important than finishing. :-)
