Not much to say about this block; I did the buttonhole stitching by hand. I have a sewing machine that can do that, but I didn't have the heavier thread it would have required. I do needle turn applique (no adhesives), but sometimes when I turn the edges under, I baste them in place, if the fabric doesn't want to obey.

Angel Block for the Quilt Teaparty

I love needle-turn applique but can't do it myself. I'm sure if I wanted to I could find a local class for it.
ReplyDeleteNice work!
I've never taken a class, but I've read some directions. Alas, I didn't win the angel blocks at last night's tea party. If you're intersted in being invited to next year's (they're always the third week in August), let me know, Kelly.
