Now if any of you are interested in winning a little something, then pop on over to Nancy's blog. She's having a little competition to see if you can guess how old I am. Now remember to be kind....lol....
I think I'll spend my day doing some more on the applique. Which reminds me I had a question I wanted to ask all you talented appliquer's. Is there a product that you can put on your finger to stop from pushing the needle through the skin. The finger I use to do this has a hole in it, and I don't feel comfortable wearing my thimble for applique. I tried using a dot band aid but that didn't work too well either.
Happy Stitching, and thanks for taking the time to answer my odd questions.

Happy Birthday Linda!! What a Great present!! I can't wait to see what you do with the fabric.
Happy B.day to you. To answer your question I use a very narrow piece of masking tape..it works out great.I don't do that much applique but I hand quilt and wear a thimble on one finger...but the other finger can get a hole in it (like you mentioned) if I don't wrap the tape around it.
Happy Birthday Linda!!! Ya know -- you have an absolutely wonderful birthday. I couldn't have chosen better myself ;0). Really!
Happy, Happy Birthday! Can't help you with the needle problem -- I'm a thimble user ;-)

Happy, happy birthday to you dear Linda.
Hello Linda....
I use little oval plastic thimbles with sticky on them. When I can pull my b-tt off of the couch, I will look for the name...
I get them at my LQS..
Happy Birthday! Congrats on the fabric and cupcake pattern. What fun!
Happy Birthday Linda
Have you tried Thimble-Its? They are an oval plastic pad that sticks to your finger. I use them when I'm sewing on binding. I haven't had to use them yet for applique, but I bet they would work well. You can easily find them on-line.
Ok this is in my best singing voice...Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday dear Linda, Happy Birthday to you...hope your day is filled with wonderful things...
Happy, Happy Birthday, Linda! I hope you've had a wonderful day.
((HUGS))
Happy Birthday! I'm not a true applique afficiando (not sure I can SPELL either!), but I wondered if you could try that Nu-skin stuff? its kinda like super glue for cuts. If you put some on the end of you finger and let it dry, it might do the trick...
Happy birthday Linda!
The rose fabric is soooo beautiful, I couldn't think of a better way to start your birthday :)
Happy birthday, Linda!!! Hope you have a wonderful day! Congratulations on your win :o)
Happy birthday Linda. So many birthdays in blogland this week. I have the hole on my finger right now too from handquilting yesterday.
I just wait for a callus to build.
Happy belated birthday, Linda! Although I think we need to celebrate at least a week, so maybe I'm not late after all! LOL!
Happy BD to you ...... For applique, I just add a bit of clear nail polish on the end of my fingers (one for pushing the needle and the other for stopping the needle.
Happy Birthday Linda! Enjoy your day!
Happy Birthday Linda. Hope you had a great one!!!
Hope you had a happy birthday. Very nice prizes.
