That quilt block made me giggle! Congrats on your block making the Magazine. As for a favorite method of applique I don't have a fave, I love all applique I think it adds eye candy to any quilt.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute block! I especially love needleturning applique.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice coincidence because I usually have Head N Bond in stock but I see that I don't. Your block, Spring, is so darn cute. It is so nice to have you show us different layouts. It just really helps us to see what you can do with a block.

Very cute block. Makes me wish for spring and winter is just getting started!
ReplyDeleteI tend to shy away from applique but have been getting braver - mostly with raw edge or satin stitched.
ReplyDeleteCUTE BLOCK!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteYour block is so cute! Love it! Thanks so much for the chance to win and Congrats on being published. :)

Your block is fluffy :) love it!
ReplyDeleteVickiedotvanathotmaildotcom
Your block is just so darn cute! I use machine applique
ReplyDeleteI'm a much more experienced piecer than appliquer, but I do love the needle-turn method I've tried. A relaxing change for me. Love your dimensional work ... thanks for the chance to win !!
ReplyDeleteI love the flowers. dawnm1993 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI like reverse applique. I love that sheep and flowers too.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Love, love, love sheep blocks/quilts. I've got maybe 8 patterns waiting - nay, begging - to be made and you've given me one more.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that applique isn't my favorite quilting technique, but I sure do love your bouncy sheep. It brought a huge smile to my face as it showed up on the screen this cold morning. I might have to applique this one. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteJust adorable! And a perfect design for my Rachel, which is "Ewe" in Hebrew. Can't wait to make one. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLove that cute block! I'm learning to hand applique. I like using wool and hand stitching with a blanket stitch.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to add embroidery stitches.
What a cute block! I use the same Accuquilt dies for lots of my blocks, too. I do turned edge.. raw edge...fused...you name it type applique. I always do it by machine, though. Thanks for a great block!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is hand applique.
ReplyDeleteCan I say my favorite method is someone else doing it? I have only done a couple of small projects...nothing too strenuous and I love to use my machine but I am considering going to the dark side and heading toward a little bit of needle turn soon.
ReplyDeleteLove this block using the acquit die is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteCute! Cute! Cute! I don't appliqué often, but when I do, I always machine applique
ReplyDeleteSo far I have only tried needle turn method, but would like to "branch out"!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy block--it made me smile ear-to-ear and chuckle. My favorite applique method is hand sewing with blanket stitch--I'm still a coward regarding using my machine.
ReplyDeleteHow could we not love those sheep! Your block is so cute and fun. Thank you for such inspiration. The three blocks together in a wall hanging are too tempting not to make!
ReplyDeleteI probably have the best results of applique using the freezer paper method. I like the idea of needle turn but I'm not very good at it yet. I also like the ease of using fusibles and my favorite, the blanket stitch :-)
That is so cute. My favorite method of appliqué is needle turn, but I have tried most of them.
ReplyDeleteMachine Applique is my "go to" method, but I admire what other's do with needle turn hand applique.
ReplyDeleteMachine applique is the only way I applique.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make your block for my daughter who loves sheep, too. I like hand-sewn applique.
ReplyDeleteI do some needle turn, but mostly machine applique
ReplyDeleteMy favorite kind of applique is machine applique with either a very close satin stitch or a blanket stitch. I am eager to try your 3-dimensional technique!
ReplyDeleteI'm eager to try the 3-d applique. Your design is so fun!!
ReplyDeleteLove Springy!
ReplyDeleteSheep are soo cute
ReplyDeleteI like to machine applique. Your sheep w/ the flowers is so cute! Thanks for sharing with us. cknapp3626@sbcglobal.net
ReplyDeleteI am new to machine applique. Looks like fun and love your happy sheet.
ReplyDeleteI love to do machine appliqué. It gets the job done faster for me.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite way to appliqué is to use fusible and then hand-stitch around it. A blend of old-school and newfangled.😄
ReplyDeleteLove those SHEEP! I am gonna try this block for sure! My favorite way to applique is freezer paper and fusible web. I have a great stitch on my machine to do the edges.. no hand sewing! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThis Mary needs that Little LAMB!!! Love it! Thanks for a chance to win this issue.
ReplyDeleteLoving your sheep too !
ReplyDeleteMachine Applique, I hope to get much better at it.
ReplyDeleteLove your little sheep block. My favorite method is finished edge applique. Thanks!
ReplyDeletePlease click on the delaineelliott above for my email link.
I like to use a fusible, then machine applique. I adore your sheep!
ReplyDeleteYour little fluffy sheep is adorable. And the table runner is so overly cute. What a fun block. Tlhanks for sharing. I have not done machine applique yet. It is on my list to do.
ReplyDeleteThe little sheep is so cute!
ReplyDeleteVery charming block. The only type of applique I have ever done is needleturn and it has been decades since I tried it. poladydwd(at)yahoo(dot)com
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I love raw edge applique. I always say I'm going to try another but I always go back to what I love...
ReplyDeleteYour block is so cute! I've never done applique - I'm definitely missing out. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSuch an adorable block thanks for showing us how to make it. I like to do both machine and hand appliqué!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful and cute block. I love the sheep and those flowers are wonderful with the 3d effect. I am going to have to check out the tutorial. Congrats on being chosen for a bock in the magazine.
ReplyDeleteI love your dimensional applique. I usually do raw edge machine applique.
ReplyDeleteSince I've only done one applique project I;m going to have to say machine :) Love your posies :)
ReplyDeleteCurrently I only do machine applique but I have ambitions to do some hand applique. "Spring" is so, so cute. That little sheep looks so happy.
ReplyDeleteLove the dimensional flowers!
ReplyDeleteI use double sided fusible web to glue it on and then use my stretch stitch around the edges.
ReplyDeleteI prefer machine applique. Love your block.
ReplyDeleteCute block and table runner. Never did applique, so don't have a favorite method. 24Tangent@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy block, and with one week-long cold snap just ending, I am already ready for spring! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite kind of applique is needle turn. Thanks! sarah@forrussia.org
ReplyDeleteOh ewe cute little sheep you! I don't have a favorite method of appliqué. It depends on the look I'm going for.
ReplyDeleteI love the little sheep, and your runner is just adorable!
ReplyDeleteOh, those sheep are adorable! I haven't tried appliqué. But I truly appreciate the time spent on it. I like to zip things together. I am very impatient when it comes to the finished quilt/project. But I love the results from an appliqued block.
ReplyDeleteI love the dimensional applique on your block, as well as the cute little sheep. I do more machine applique but love needle turn, too. This would be such fun to make up for a wall hanging in a baby's room!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite method of applique really depends on what I'm doing -- whatever technique works for the project then that is my favorite at that moment! Your sheep block made me smile. I've got to use it to make something for my aunt who is crazy over sheep ever since she visited Ireland.
ReplyDeleteVery Cute. Makes me happy!
ReplyDeleteThat block is just too cute! I love to hand applique but will machine applique if time is short or the project works up better by machine.
ReplyDeleteLove the lamb!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. This block is too cute! I love the 3D look. I've only done one applique and it was on my Dad's quilt. I fused the circles to the block and then hand stitched around the circles. It was my first true quilt I made and I kind of winged it. LOL. :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your block being selected. I like to needle-turn applique.
ReplyDeleteI normally like needle turn, but am getting really attached to machine applique. I love, love, love you sheep....what fun.
ReplyDeleteI usually use fusible machine applique. Love the sheep block!!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I thought of when I saw your block was counting flowers along with counting sheep...I know a weird imagination! Lovely block and so versatile. I mainly do machine applique.
ReplyDeleteI love how you captured the spring antics of the lambs.
ReplyDeleteEwe have designed a great block!! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I win (or buy) the latest QM 100 Blocks, I choose my favorite block & do a mini wall quilt. Of course my choice is always a critter applique. I'll bet this time it will be your darling wooly sheep. I use Wonder Under for all my applique, followed by either a zig zag or buttonhole stitch.
ReplyDeleteWow!!!! Would love to "Spring" into an adorable quilt using your idea!!! Thanks "Sew" much for the great tute too!!! Definitely on my to-do list!!!
ReplyDeleteJoy! We spent many hours with our grandfather who raised purebred Suffolk lambs. Ewe's block brings back many sweet memories. Thank you for sharing your design and your know-how. I look forward to making it into a wall hanging.
ReplyDeleteYour block is adorable and could make a nice baby quilt! I do both hand and machine applique`. When I machine applique` I use the blanket stitch also. Congrats on having your block in the magazine and thanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteCute block! I haven't done much applique and when I did, it was by hand. But with arthritis settling in, I have been encouraged by the doctor to do as much as possible by machine. Your block inspires me to give it a go! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Makes me yearn for Spring!!
ReplyDeleteNow that's my smile maker for the day. Makes me wish it were Spring already.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial and great ideas.
ReplyDeletewould love to have this, thanks
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute and springy quilt block. My favorite way to appliqué is with heat n bond with a machine blanket stitched edge. CDahlgren at live dot com
ReplyDeleteSo cute. Love your whimsical spring design.

So cute. I like to do needle turn applique
ReplyDeleteYour block makes me smile. I love it.
ReplyDeletePerfect pattern for a baby qult
ReplyDeleteI haven't done much applique but I love your sheep in both this block and the cover quilt from earlier in the year. I remember that one well.
ReplyDeleteLove the sheep!
ReplyDeleteThis little guy just springs into action. Let's hope the snow doesn't ruin his fun. Thanks for the wonderful block that I can't wait to try for spring.
ReplyDeleteI really like to machine stitch around no-turn appliques.
ReplyDeleteHe is so Happy!
ReplyDeleteI like to blanket stitch around my appliques.
Love your fluffy little friend Deonn and it would really make a great wall decoration for one of our great granddaughters. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. lv2bquilting2@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteThe dimensional flowers are so charming and I love the happy sheep. What a nice project. Congratulations on having your square included in the magazine.
ReplyDeleteHow adorable! My Gram would have loved it!! I'm just learning appliqué, so I can't say I have a favorite yet :) thanks for sharing such a fun block!
ReplyDeleteI"ve just discovered Heat and Bond spray for applique shapes, I love it!
ReplyDeleteThis block is super cute! I love the 3D effect!
ReplyDeleteJust fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThose applique flowers are so cute. I've got to try this. I don't do much applique but I have done needle turning and button stitching so far. I like both. You hexagon little lamb is so cute and so is your newest version. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteAdorable block! My favorite method of appliqué is fusible, but I would love to learn needle turn.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute block! Love the flowers.
ReplyDeleteI am quite partial to fusible applique at this point in my quilting career. A tendon issue is making it quite difficult to do hand work.
ReplyDeletecute, cute, cute! I love the jumping sheep. I have to admit that my favorite method of applique is 'none', LOL! I haven't done much of it, but when I have, it hasn't turned out the way it looks in the pictures :<
ReplyDeleteAdorable block. I like needle turn using freezer paper and fusible applique. The method I use depends upon the project.
ReplyDeletejitney41gmail.com
What an adorable block! Perfect to look forward the spring, when the weather has just dropped below 15*.
ReplyDeleteDeonn.... how fabulous to see you in this year's issue! And of course one of the most adorable blocks!! Great job and ... yay you!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun block! Love your runner with the three sheep each doing something different. Congratulations for having your block in Vol. 10!
ReplyDeleteThank you for a super giveaway and a chance to win. Two winners! Woot! Woot! You Rock!

Deonn, congratulations on being included in the magazine. Your block is as cute as can be. It would make a sweet little baby quilt. Thank you so much for the giveaway. I love doing hand-turn applique.
ReplyDeleteGreat block. I can see it in a child's wall hanging. I usually do machine applique with a satin stitch. Dorothy
ReplyDeleteI've been experimenting with appliqué and I love trying new techniques. I like hand appliqué the best.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite method of applique is machine raw edge with a button hole stitch. I love that little sheep!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try applique for a while now, but didn't really know where to start. This block is soooo cute it absolutely has to be first on the list. Thanks for a great design and the opportunity to win!
ReplyDeleteI love applique and your little sheep is too adorable! Thanks for a chance to win!
ReplyDeleteHow nice to see a reminder of Spring as Winter is descending upon us!! My applique experience is limited to raw edge and buttonhole stitch outline, but I'd like to try backbasting.
ReplyDeleteI haven't done any applique. I love the 3D flowers on your block.
ReplyDeleteI love fusible applique. So easy and quick. Almost fool proof.
ReplyDeleteLove your cute little "sheepies" !
ReplyDeleteThe sweet little sheep are just too cute! Congrats your block being published!
ReplyDeleteI usually prefer machine applique (have had trouble with "needle-turn"), but recently did some hand applique using freezer paper template, which worked quite well. Thanks for the tutorial - I want to try that to add some dimension.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the giveaway!
You do such sweet work. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeletejanie.mccombs(at)yahoo.com
I love that sheep and the dimensional flowers. My favorite method of applique right now is fusible.
ReplyDeleteThe sheep is so cute! I like fusible applique. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute, love the design. I like all types of appliqué, it all depends on the type of project I am working on. I do needle turn for primitive work and fusibles for my fun and art pieces.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
OK...I want this on my sewing room wall! A-DORABLE!
ReplyDeleteJust sheep...just too sweet! I'm not sure of my favorite type of applique yet. I've appliqued with a simple zig zag stitch witch kept it a bit scrappy looking. I think I want more of a finished look for most projects.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I like fusible applique.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute block(s), I just love it. b.j.day68@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteVery cool sheep! I prefer needle turn applique but some projects don't warrant the time or will be used too heavily so then I machine applique. pjrcontest@msn.com
ReplyDeleteCute block! Thanks for the tutorial and design ideas.
ReplyDeleteI loved the tutorial and would love to win the products to make some of my own! Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteVery cute thank you for the tutorial. I am not a patient person but I enjoy to hand applique. Thank you. Becky
ReplyDeleteI love machine appliqué with invisible thread.
ReplyDeleteReally cute block! My favorite method of appliqué is raw edge... Thanks for the chance at the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI am a huge fan of fusible applique. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love needle turned applique!
ReplyDeleteYour little lamb is adorable. I usually do fusible applique and then do my button hole stitch by hand. Makes for a travel project.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute block! I love needle turn applique best. But I'm so slow at it that I do more machine applique now just to get things done. :)
ReplyDeleteWay too cute!
ReplyDeleteI really like your cute little sheep. I don't applique much, but when I do, I use fusible and machine stitch a tiny zig zag or more often a buttonhole stitch. I have made flowers using a method just like yours.
ReplyDeleteswalker287 (at) aol (dot) com.
I made your hexagon sheep with 1 inch hexies and it is one of my favorites ( I even won a blue ribbon in miniatures with it) and what a fun variation you did with the sheep this time, Thanks again, Kathy in Colo
ReplyDeleteI haven't done much applique, but I'd really like to work on my needle turn skills.
ReplyDeleteI usually use a fusible but open to anything new and fun.
ReplyDeleteI especially love the wall hanging how quite for a baby's room. Thanks for the alternative idea.
ReplyDeleteLove the 3 dimensional flowers. I need to try this
ReplyDeletelove your site, the springing ewes are too cute......must check out all your work...I mostly freezer paper print then machine stitch......
ReplyDeleteFusible is my favorite kind of applique!! Or anything I can applique with my longarm :) Love your dimensional flowers and ears - too cute!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers and sheep. They are adorable.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cheerful little block. The sheep makes me smile!
ReplyDeletebaaaaa so cute! I like fusible appliqué, but I hate raw edges. I recently completed my first Hawaiian-style, and needle-turn is pretty fun.
ReplyDeletereillyr2(at)hotmail(dot)com
I've haven't done applique' yet, but I am intrigued by the flexibility of applique'.
ReplyDeletehave saved the link for your tutorial so it will be easy to find.(only worked out to save links 2 days ago!!) It will be a while before this magazine arrives in the UK but will be keeping an eye open for it
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Now I know who designed this block - thank you!
ReplyDeleteI adore your sheep! I wanted to decorate the nursery for our twins in a sheep theme, but my husband wasn't keen on it. Maybe for our next little one. I will be starting my first appliqué project before Christmas. I'm planning to machine stitch. We shall see how it goes!

ReplyDeleteI love to machine applique. your block is great. thanks
ReplyDeleteAwwwww... That is just too sweet!!! I love to hand appliqué preferably turning the edges under, but if pressed for time will do raw edge and if I have absolutely no time I choose machine appliqué 😉
ReplyDeleteI enjoy hand appliqué because I am able to do it anywhere. Your block is soooo refreshing great for springtime. Thank for a chance to win. Happy Quilting :)
ReplyDeleteI'm still working on finding my favorite method of applique. I love the look of it, but not my own results. Cute block--thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAww! Too cute! I do machine applique. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteLove your spring block! How cute! I never tire of sheep!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet block! Love the sheep and the flowers! I usually prefer to do machine applique but if I want a hand-work project, sometimes I choose to do needle-turn applique.
ReplyDeleteYour sheep are so cute. If I'm going to do applique, it's going to be by machine. If I have the time to do turned applique, I then sew it down my machine.
ReplyDeletewow cute block-thanks for the preview of the blocks that was great I want to go get the book now, we all need new blocks.
ReplyDeletewell just finished applique of a bed size hawaiian so would have to say needleturn is my favorite method...and what an adorable block! we in maine always feel that way about spring after a long cold winter....thanks for participating!
ReplyDeleteI love sheep, in fact, my sewingroom is decorated in sheep - I;m in love.....
ReplyDeleteI think the lamb would be perfect for spring placemats. I love machine appliques b/c it is QUICK! Also I have arthritis in my L thumb and Yup I'm left-handed.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable block! I usually fuse applique because I don't care for how my needle-turn turns out. I need more practice. 😀
ReplyDeleteTara J.
I love this block. Applique has become my passion now. I have been trying every technique I can find. Thanks for the inspiration
ReplyDeleteI haven't done any applique yet. Thanks for the chance to win. Your block is cute! vickise at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Deonn. love the sheep. He's great... thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI recently made little girls gingham dresses on blocks which I ironed on & used the buttonhole stitch to finish.
ReplyDeleteReally cute!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that sheep and flowers! My favorite applique method is fusible with machine or hand blanket stitching.
ReplyDeleteThe name of your block is as cute as the block. I love sheep and this has to go onto my tdl.
ReplyDeleteCongrat's on being published.
I am a new follower, so glad to have found you! I love all your tutorials.
ReplyDeleteThat is sooo cute. I love the flowers. I think machine applique would be my favorite.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute block - I love it!
ReplyDeleteI've only done fusible applique!
I love the tablerunner - so creative! I do fusible applique.
ReplyDeleteIf I HAVE to do applique, then I prefer needle-turn. But yuck, do I have to??
ReplyDeleteSo adorable. I love applique, I do the reverse side freezer paper.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cute block. The only applique I have done is "traditional" applique.
ReplyDeleteSo far my favorite is machine applique, but today I am doing a project with needle turn so that may become my new favorite.
ReplyDeleteI love your little, happy sheep!! Also fascinated by the flower dimensional appliqué-definitely on my "to try" list! Thanks for the ideas!
ReplyDeleteThis is just so adorable, it makes me smile from ear to ear! Your little sheep are always so precious, and, if possible, I think these are the cutest yet! I love to use fusible applique with a machine blanket stitch to hold everything in place. Thanks for the chance for your wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteCute for a baby quilt.......
ReplyDeleteI haven't done much applique'--I've liked doing the heat and bond method, though. I really like the flowers in yours. Adds some dimension.
ReplyDeleteI loved your hexie sheep quilt earlier this year. I was in charge of a 5-10 minute education segment at our night meeting this year. I showed how to draft your own hexagon using a compass and ruler. Then I showed your cute sheep quilt as an example of a hexagon quilt. Many of the quilters are familiar with Grandmother's Flower Garden (which I am hand piecing now, very slowly). I love this whimsical sheep. My brothers raised purebred sheep for years and I fell in love with sheep them. Just like other animals, they have their own personalities. Congrats on another publish and along with the hexie sheep quilt, this is now on my to-do list. I hope I win a magazine.
ReplyDeletelove your work, follower, thanks for the chance
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful quilt--I love it!
ReplyDeleteCute block!
ReplyDeleteI love hand appliqué , generally the freezer paper method...I find it very relaxing.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I love hand applique and just turn cut a narrow (1/8 inch) seam and needle turn it as I go. Everytime I try fusible applique I make a mess and get frustrated.
ReplyDeleteI like to machine applique, using either a zipzap or more decorative stitch to anchor the pieces. Nice block. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWell....I'm not really into applique work YET! do have it on my mind for learning soon!
ReplyDeleteI love hand applique for things I hope will become heirlooms, plus I enjoy hand stitching. I do use machine applique when I want a quick result.
ReplyDeleteI love the little sheep! As for applique, I enjoy the raw edge style!
ReplyDeleteI might have known that was your blog Deonn!!! It's so happy and fresh - that little lamb almost jumps off the block and invites you to come play with her!!! I can't wait to go over and see how you made those bright flowers. I love your designs, and this one is no exception :) Thanks for sharing it with us!
ReplyDeleteThe only applique I have done is with my embroidery machine. It is so easy that I have not tried to it any other way.
ReplyDelete
