ii do applique work using wool felt, mostly)
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?

okay so i am not really that mad, but i just got off the phone with TSA (homeland security) and asked if i could bring small hand sewing needles with me on the plane so i could so some hand applique while sitting on my long flight cross country. I was told I couldn't bring needles on my carry-on. how dumb is that? i understand the whole security thing and tightening up, and i understand the whole no scissors, or knives thing, but needles? come on!
i guess i'll just write letters or something less terrorist like than sewing.
