Candy Cane Lane: Quilts and More to Sweeten the Holidays (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

Melinda Bula, author of Cutting Garden Quilts: Fabulous Fusible Flowers, is known for her stunning floral creations.

With her new book Candy Cane Lane, she departs from the art quilt to create sweet, whimsical holiday designs that can be used in a multitude of ways in addition to making the cute, cute quilt on the cover of the book.

There are adorable felt stockings, a whimsical 'Who down in Whoville' tree, a candy-cane table runner, snowflake pillows, and more.

Melinda encourages quilters to use non-traditional colors to spark up their holiday designs, and as you can see she does it quite effectively.

The book includes basic information on fusible-web and needle-turn appliqué, as well as full-size pull-out templates for all of the appliqué patterns. Sweet!
