My first try at needle turn applique.....

All of the Sunbonnet Sue blocks I have made were done in the same style as my Grannie made hers. They were what I call top stitched. The stitches are right on top and show. Like this..Now I LOVE this look and its easy but I didn't think it was right

for my CW quilt.  To be perfectly honest I wasn't going to put this block in the quilt. I did one block called 7 Sisters and it looks awful. But I decided to give it another go and see if it would click and.....
I've decided I actually really like applique! I like doing work with my hands. So now this block is done and ready to be added to the stack. I know my applique isn't great but it's a start!


I'm almost done with adding the black border on all the blocks and then to put them together.......

My trusty Stella, a Singer 66 with the godzilla finish will tackle that job though.I just love the blues in these blocks!
