Somehow about a week ago after visiting a LNS (local needle shop), I started on new needlework projects - hand applique quilting. I had tried machine applique quilting during the earlier days of my involvement in needlework. That was a very novice piece of work. But i am really amused with hand applique, never thought that hand-applique is lot more interesting than patchwork and machine-applique. Within a week I managed to stitch 2 pieces of applique stitching. I need to visit the LNS one more time before I do the quilting part.

This pattern is from Naive & Country Quilts magazine which I bought a long time ago. It is a basic & simple pattern suitable for novice quilters.
tea time
This pattern is from Patchwork & Quilting magazine but I modified the pattern to my liking and planning to replace the sugar canister ( below teapot) with cupcakes.It took more time to stitch since it was trickier to stitch the overlapping appliques and the pattern size is bigger.
