I have wanted to add some applique birds to the new quilt design but wasn't sure how to applique around the beak as I am really new to this.. Then I realised it's actually dead simple.. Just cut the beak off the template and make it separately. If I had a brain I would be dangerous :-) I intend to add little wings that I will cut from patterned fabric. I am gradually working on the components for the quilt and thoroughly enjoying the process.
LOL - but you do have a brain so . . . look out folks, here come Cherie the Dangerous!

Well, you found a way round it so your clever brain worked it out 😉👍
ReplyDeleteGood for you, not without a brain at all...lol!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sure you will work it all out, but I do wish we were closer so I could maybe give you a few tips. I'm not the best at applique (I'm more of a piecer), but have dabbled in quite a few of the techniques, both hand & machine. I am looking forward to seeing it all come together. I'm actually curious!!!!! Take care & stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have you as a neighbour. We could have such fun making things couldn't we. x
DeleteCan't wait to see what you are making. You are a clever lady, don't under estimate yourself.
ReplyDeleteDon't hold your breath.. It's going to be a while :-)
