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.

Raw-Edge Applique: 14 Fast and Fun Frayed Quilt Projects [Paperback] Review

Quilters could only have dreamed of making a Dresden Plate minus fussy needle-turn applique, stitching a Lone Star free from fretting over perfect points on countless diamonds, or creating an Orange Peel without matching a curve. This dream is a reality with Jodie Davis' new book, presenting the raw edge technique she debuted a decade ago. Readers will be able to eliminate hours of pinning and matching with this fun, fast technique using a straight machine stitch. The raw edges are left exposed to become slightly frayed as the quilt is loved, washed and, dried - and then loved some more. Simple enough for a beginner, yet exciting for a long-time quilter, this book makes both traditionally pieced and appliqued quilts a breeze.
