I found these two patterns at a local quilt show trade stand.
The Judy Neimeyer pattern was a screaming bargain at $25 AUS...usually at least $50 or more over here. The pattern is discontinued but the corrections were still available on the Quiltworx website so.....wininng!!!  I love the Quiltworx patterns but they are just too expensive for me although I did splurge a while ago and bought 2 which I thoroughly enjoyed doing.

The wall hanging kit was reduced from $45 AUS to $10 and included all the fabric needed to make this gorgeous bird. It will be my first foray into applique so I'll be putting the big girl pants on for this one but am thrilled to have it and can't wait to try.

Love the JN pattern. You were so lucky to pick it up at a great price. It'll be something you can look forward to making - when you're feeling adventurous! :)

If you can do FPP you can certainly do applique (and probably rocket science and brain surgery too...)
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.
