Is this too difficult for me

[Celia]

I went into my stash of forgotten kits etc and found this is it too difficult  a beginner


I also found these 2 which I will definitely try to do

You're very talented and experienced @Celia I'm sure they would not be beyond you.
Sometimes I wish I didn't know exactly what I have ( no kits ) and I might get a nice surprise
I love the snowscene and the bears and will look forward to seeing the finished articles

@Celia I love the wall hanging  Look forward to seeing you complete this

[realale]

You'll be able to do it no problem!!
I've made loads like that and they are easier than they look. Go for it.

Wheres difficult ... Applique yes? gets some heat n bond (Lite) and away you go ...

Easius Peasius .. Looking forward to seeing the finished article ...

Looooving the snow scene ... Maybe a layer of organza over some of the snow would make it sparkle a lil??? (just remember to cover the scene with a clean tea towel/calico/cloth/sheet of paper before ironing the organza down to avoid melting it)

[Celia]

@Iminei not appliqué but this

Don’t really know where to start so I think it might just go back into hibernation for about 30 years. It’s dated 1997……
Will start with the Christmas bears or maybe even the card

@Lowena my excuse is I have been sewing for a lot longer than you and I have no self control when I go to exhibitions

[Diane]

@Celia  oh my gosh  I think i'd be putting that back in the drawer, makes my balloon cushion look easy

[realale]

@Celia Break it down into sections and it isn't too bad......
It just looks fiddly rather than difficult. 

[Iminei]

Oh Wow!!!!

Templates or FPP ??? Just noticed the Iron on templates included bit on the cover ...

So really its the same as My gemstone patterns!
I would suggest you try something simpler to find how you get on with the technique as I and Helen did with the practice template for a simple Gem from MJ Kinmans website.

What we found was it was the prep that took the time, the actual assembly was quite quick and straightforward.

I'm sure it could be done as applique... it is lovely.

[Celia]

Mmmmm I think you are right @Iminei i will try something simpler first but I might take @Diane  advise and put it back in the draw, well cupboard, I have too many for a draw

[Iminei]

As Applique it would be a doddle! Which is why I thought it was.

[Renegade Sewist]

It's a variation on FPP. She still has a website! There's a free sample block. I linked to the page for this scene. Our FPP experts can look and advise as to level of difficulty.

[Iminei]

That link will be really helpful ... theres a HELPFUL TIPS Linky too especially for the snow scene.

The rest of her landscapes are pretty impressive too!!

I think @Celia  if you do some practice runs first and then go slow and steady that you could pull this off brilliantly ... or   use the fabric to applique it!

[Celia]

Wow
Thank you for the links to the website. I don’t even remember buying this kit I have no idea where I got it but I am sure I didn’t realise how it was done. I love the fact that I have the fabric for it too.

I think I will put this on hold until after Christmas but I am looking to find a small project to practise on and see if I like it. Right now I am sure I would mess it up, my brain is a bit disorganised at the moment
