I have never done needleturn applique before but decided this was a good enough project as any to learn, I have read books and tutorials on the internet and watched many videos-to give my "blanket stitch mind"..the idea it could do this..
I found out very quickly I needed a thimble..well pfft them solid ones just don't work for me so it was an expensive trip to spotlight to get a clover-leather coin thimble ouch-came home and bought another less than half I paid with frieght from the USA (that's what you get for wanting it NOW)

Your cupcakes look super yummy Vickie!! Good to know there's a 'local' doing this SAL too!
Looks great Vicki, i am needle turning as well and my cherries are not that round. I'm with you on the leather thimble.
Thin=mbles - you either love tehm or hate them. I dom prefer teh soft leather ones but those soft plasticy ones arent too bad. Love your cupcakes.
Great start to needleturn.... looks good enough to eat

Its a lovely block...they do sort of look like ice cream cones.
I have to use a leather thimble, also.
