I was fortunate to have a class on the needle turning with the great Bettie Jo Shiell (a good friend of mine in Tallahassee) but nobody thought of using a glue stick! I might have liked it better. I resorted to just doing the Chintz Applique designs in needlepoint. This will be an interesting new dimension in your work!!Possibilities, Etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00301188397987608400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016674207999094300.post-1041571162308718212009-07-21T03:01:02.531-07:002009-07-21T03:01:02.531-07:00The pic of you and your sister is just so beautifu...The pic of you and your sister is just so beautiful.

I lo...I think your applique turned out great Allie! I love applique, I have several applique projects just waiting on me to finish. Enjoyed the tutorial and have to say that I had not heard about using the glue as your turning the applique down...makes perfect since. I have battled those pesky little frayed edges a lot. Now I know how to solve that problem.

Ellie is one of my favorite teachers. <br /><br />I think Betty P is right and in the long run you will be happier that you added more. Look at it as a long term project - put it away when you get tired of it and pull it out when you want to. Time flies and so do the years. It will be done before you know it and it will be another beauty.<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br />Freda<br /><br />ps - I liked the glue stick and toothpick idea. Will sure use that.FredaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000510495713705938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016674207999094300.post-41726613064683025882009-07-20T16:16:10.308-07:002009-07-20T16:16:10.308-07:00Congrats on learning needleturn!
