A fresh take on quilting and appliqué!

Kevin Kosbab shows quilters that not only is appliqué fun and easy to do, it can open up a world of design possibilities.

The Quilter's Applique Workshop teaches you everything you need to know to create appliqué–both as embellishment and as the focus of projects.

The book is divided into three sections that each explores a basic appliqué approach: raw-edge, prepared-edge, and needle-turn appliqué. Each section includes detailed instructions, tips, and illustrations.

Twelve home-decor projects, including bed quilts, wall quilts, table runners/toppers, and pillows, illustrate the techniques and allow you to explore more specialized methods such as broderie perse, felt appliqué, and bias-tape appliqué. The Quilter's Applique Workshop gives you the tools to mix and match appliqué techniques and create any design you can imagine.

Pat Sloan's Teach Me To Applique: Schoolgirl Sampler: 72 Simple 4" Blocks and 7 Charming Quilts by Kathleen Tracy BOOK: Bird Dance by Sue Spargo
Fusible Applique That's Soft and Simple.

Is it possible? Fusible applique that's soft, and drapey? Yes, it is, and Pat Sloan shows you how. Pat shares her fusible techniques for machine-stitched quilts that are as delightful to touch as they are pleasing to the eye. Welcome to her applique class - you'll love what you're about to create!

10 easy projects, including quilts, banners, pillowcase, and a pillow.

Designer Kathleen Tracy is back with more delightful little quilts! This time she's gathered a treasury of 4" blocks reminiscent of those sewn by schoolgirls during the nineteenth century.

Make all 72 timeless blocks and combine them in a sampler quilt or select a few favorites to use in any of six other charming quilts.

Quick to stitch and perfect for reproduction-fabric scraps, the blocks are easy to make and you can complete several in one sitting or complete a small quilt in a weekend.

Kathy includes plenty of tips for sewing small blocks, and her simple cutting instructions and clear piecing diagrams will help you succeed as you stitch each pint-sized treat. 		After teaching in Orvieto in Umbria, I met my parents in Rome (Italy) and we flew to Sicily. We enjoyed ten days touring that wonderful island and stayed at Agriturismos, farms that also accommodate visitors.The last Agriturismo we stayed at was an old olive farm called Fattoria Mose near the town of Agrigento. Every morning we climbed to the top floor of the building for breakfast. The buffet was spread out on large tables and I quickly noticed that the floor, which was quite extensive, was tiled with antique tiles.

Interspersed among plain tiles were tiles depicting many species of birds. The birds had been hand-painted and had a distinctly folk-art appearance.
Those birds on that Sicilian floor became the inspiration for 'Bird Dance'.
As you sew your quilt I hope, like me, you experience a joyous sense of gratitude for all the delightful birds that enrich our lives.'

Folk-tails, a piece of my soul.
Wool applique, layering, and embroidery quilt.
The Folk-tails Story…
Africa is deeply embedded in my soul. ..Childhood memories continually fill my mind… the beauty of the land that is rich with wildlife and wild land. I can feel the hot African sun and dry breeze on my skin, the warm, rough sand beneath my bare feet, the smell of the bushveld — dusty and dry and filled with the scent of the animals that live there. I can see the sky so clear and so blue. Nightfall brings a massive river of shimmering stars that span the sky. The land is spotted with dense clusters of trees; the bare branches of the Baobab look like roots extending to the sky. Masses of tall grasses camouflage the seemingly endless numbers of animals that live there. I hear the songs of a thousand birds during the day and the silence of a pitch black night is at times broken by the roar of a lion which shakes my body and cuts straight through my soul…
For years I have wanted to make a quilt filled with these memories but when I put pen to paper each sketch fell short. It was important to me that this piece encompassed each and every memory, and that once finished, it was a For years I have wanted to make a quilt filled with these memories but when I put pen to paper each sketch fell short. It was important to me that this piece encompassed each and every memory, and that once finished, it was a vast canvas that told my story without a single word needing to be expressed.
Along with the design I wanted to incorporate everything I have come to love as a designer of 12 years. My love of bright vibrant colors,
