Birds 'n Roses: Applique Masterpiece Series [Bargain Price] [Paperback] Review

Real flowers and birds from an award-winning quilt are presented in a survey of how a masterpiece was created - and how any applique method can duplicate it. Full-sized patterns are provided for all elements of the quilt, providing keys to success not just for reproducing this winner, but for blending into independent projects. It's these elements which make BIRDS N ROSES by needlecraft expert Margaret Docherty an exceptional pick for any experienced quilter who likes to use applique as more of a central theme than a side embellishment: Personal, professional, and community library libraries simply must have this one if their needlecraft reference collections are to be considered comprehensive or complete.

Artful Applique: The Easy Way (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

Over 130 pages of great instruction and realistic photos that show that anyone who takes the time can do applique.Not only are the designs that you can Xerox for patterns crisp, but the instruction is easy to read and follow. And the photos are exact size, so you see what you will get when you are done.
I liked the book because it also says that we can choose our own material, which suits our own desires, where some books say you have to have this or that type of material made by this ir that maker, and you end up running all over the place and come home discouraged and throw your hands up and say *&%#@+ and vow never to try and do applique again.
This is the book that can help you become less discouraged and a success at a wonderful art form.
