I finally braved the A word (shhh its applique)

Atta girl, Carissa. Your stars are just great. I laughed about your posting your appliquéd girl on the wall. We have a very simple pieced chicken that we keep on the design wall. The hen is simply squares and HSTs but with the block arrangement assembled carelessly, her tail feathers are sticking painfully in instead of pointing out. It's an hilarious reminder to Pay Attention. Good for you. We're proud of you. Polly

"Carissa" Too scarey of a word for me to say lol. Did I ever tell you all the very

ah lol I am glad I am not the only one with reminders on my wall your chicken sounds wonderful. I love your description of the painfully turned inwards :)

Way to go, Carissa! You're a brave soul - and you did a great job. I learned to like machine applique a lot better once I started using a stabilizer! I had been told it would help, but did I believe? No-o-o-o-o! Darned if "they" weren't right.

Looks good, nice pointy points. Well done! So what's next? Roberta in D

Good job Carissa!

Wow, Carissa! :D You did a lovely job on that! Is it hand appliqué? And the fact that it's small is even more impressive. As another a-phobic quilter, I'm awed! :)

I just did it by machine.... the H word (hand) is as bad as the A word around here lol (except and you must never ever tell.... I like hand quilting better than machine shhhhh) Thanks all :)

LOL! I have a new-to-me book on machine appliqué -- I swear I'm going to try it sometime soon. ;) As for hand quilting vs. machine quilting, I love them both for different reasons. :)
