i don't quilt (i do applique work using wool felt, mostly) so i'm not of much use to you but i was wondering if you've talked to ayone at the city quilter? i'm in there all the time and they tend to have a very varied clientel and teaching staff. you might find just the people/person you're looking for there.

gee, i'm blushing! thanks.
i just have a basic, cheap, table top portable machine. i only use it for the construction of the items. all the applique work is done by hand nad then embelished with hand embroidery.
you might also want to contact diana at make workshop. she's great and might be able to help you out. her site is www.makeworkshop.com and you can contact her at info (at) makeworkshop.com.

Actually, that counts. The friend that I am working on this project with is primarily a knitter and we want to include at least one "crossover craft" project on every show. We plan on doing stuff with felting sweaters and piecing into blankets.
I have been doing some hand applique recently because I needed to be able to take projects with me when I travel in the car.
I love City Quilter and hope to get their input, but since I don't have anything official nailed down, I don't feel comfortable going to them about this project just yet. However I am hoping to take some classes there this summer and do a little networking.
Thanks for responding! Do you have a URL with any of your work posted?
