my favourite thing about October is the inspiration the colour changing leaves give me for my winter knitting.
I did a baby throw using an Octopus Applique on it. I had to free hand it because I didn’t have a pattern for it. I was so excited to see this book with all the appliques to use. Thanks so much for posting this.
I have never used appliques on my crochet, but now that I have some patterns, I will now.
Yes . I have used appliqué on a jacket I made for my daughter.
I have, but more often I use them on t-shirts and blouses. They are wonderful for covering up small stains on kids’ clothes.
I have used appliques to decorate Christmas stockings, and on a mug cozy. I also make pins and magnets with them.
am looking for an appliqué pattern for the state of Texas. Anyone have one or willing to work one out?
