I am a very visual person, so I made sure to include
lots of visual "how-to" shots to guide you
through the applique techniques. (P.S. mom was my hand
model!) |
 Whatever
stage of applique you are at, there is a pattern for
you to try. For someone new to applique, this Starter
Bouquet is an excellent beginning point. Pick and choose
any flower head in the book and add it to the easy illustrated
intertwined stems. This quilt shown, is Diane Brush's
of Milford, PA. It is her very first attempt at applique. |
Here is an example of the stemwork used for "Starter
Bouquet" where you would add a flower unit like
Diane did in the picture of her quilt above. |
The pattern Sun Dance shows a fine example of happy,
colorful and large pieces to work with for your flower
bouquet. I also will show you how to easily set these
beauties in circles and ovals! |
Easy to follow illustrations for stitching order. |
A gorgeous example of setting a bouquet in an oval..once
again..nice easy large pieces that only give the appearance
of difficulty |
Each pattern has large illustrations to make everything
nice and easy for you. Learning how to make and use
your own unique bias tape will be a snap after looking
at the how to pictures. Here is an example of "Sophia"
appliqued by Judy Brumbaugh of Milford, PA |
