I Like Thursday ~ Learning Something New

 

I like learning and trying my hand at new things. 

One of the skills of quilt making has always eluded me ... Hand Applique.

By trial and error I leaned to do a nice machine applique.

Now it is time to apply the same effort toward hand stitched applique.

I want to make my own templates, too.

This is one of the new tools I am using is this

Simple Seam Wheel ~ Jen Kingwell Designs ~ Video Here

With this I have made a template set for the

Strawberries Block from the Vintage Flower Book.

So far I have the four large strawberry pieces cut 

and am preparing them for applique. 

I am still in the trial and error phase of seeing what method works best for me.

I do admit that I still feel all thumbs during this process.

I shall persevere.

Hand applique has long been on my quilty bucket list

and I decided it is going to be my challenge for 2024.

What are you working on this Thursday?
