I have started my grapes -I use “Perfect Circles” now- In the past I used old playing cards- they were strong enough to make a nice circle- I have never tried a circle using needleturn, and probably never will! – My skills are not up to that level. Many years ago I took a workshop with Pat Cambell who does all her applique using needleturn – It is amazing how perfect her circles are. (I just read that Pat recently passed away- how sad to have lost another)
The pears look beautiful. Love the shading on them. Good choice of fabrics.
Evelyn I am awaiting an image of your first block. Have you begun??? Send me a picture!
