Wool Applique Stitch-Along (Block Two)

In today's video my daughter in law Beth joins me as we make two verions of the second block in the 2024 hand wool applique "block of the month" from Wonderfil -- and both of us will be doing the stitching by machine!. This is going to be a fun project, I hope you get some ideas for your own versions of this! BTW, this like most of my videos is indexed, so if you need to review a particular section, look at the table of contents below and the links will take you directly to the section you want. Disclaimer: This video is not sponsored, and Wonderfil isn't helping produce these videos, but they did sell me the project kit at a discount. Also, the supplies I have listed below for this stitch library are Amazon affiliate links. If you use them to purchase your supplies, I will get a small amount, but it will not increase your costs. Nevertheless, these are my favorites for this kind of work. Materials: Thread list on my blog site: https://bjfabricartist.com/blog/f/cho... (Note: The list is for the full quilt , not just this one block) A pack of dental floss threaders: https://amzn.to/4cCQ8G7 100/16 topstitch needles: https://amzn.to/3x7TG2M Beth also used the following Wonderfil threads that aren't on my list: Spaghetti SP200 black Fruitti FT21 (blue variegated), FT31 (darker green variegated) FT32 (green variegated) FT41 (white variegated) Softloc wool/acrylic SL75 (off white) Eleganza 8 wt Perle cotton 628 (red), EZM1008 (dark green variegated) My website: https://bjfabricartist.com/ The music in my videos comes from Epidemic Sound: https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Table of Contents ------------------------------------------------------------------ Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 01:30 - Threads 02:11 - Placing the appliques 04:10 - Stitching in place with wool threads 10:14 - Starting the decorative stitching (Beak, Betty Jo) 14:19 - Beak (Beth) 16:33 - Decorative blanket stitches (Beth) 19:59 - Couching around tail 21:06 - Decorative lines on tail 23:51 - Decorative stitching on belly 25:16 - Wings 27:57 - Stem 29:32 - Couching over stem (Beth) 31:26 - Tassle (BJ) 33:16 - Tassle (Beth) 37:12 - Conclusion
