Ideas for Appliqué

There are lots of good ideas in this book for using a variety of fabrics in applique. It covers many alternative techniques including padded, Broderie Perse and three dimensional applique. Well illustrated with several photographs of examples and a quilt gallery of Eileen’s work, there are also good ‘how-to’ instructions. Eileen concentrates on flora and fauna so if that’s your love too, then this is the book to help you become more creative and extend your boundaries. We just love the applique designs in this book here at Fabrications. I can feel a quilt coming on…-Fabrications
