The Quilter's Appliqué Workshop
Many quilters are intimidated by appliqué, but author 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 Appliqué Workshop teaches quilters everything they need to know to create appliqué—both as embellishment and as the focus of projects.
The book is divided into three sections that each explore a basic appliqué approach: raw-edge appliqué, prepared-edge appliqué, and needle-turn appliqué. Each section includes detailed instructions, tips, and illustrations. The raw-edge and prepared-edge chapters discuss both hand- and machine-sewing techniques. Several projects illustrate each technique and explore more specialized techniques, such as broderie perse, felt appliqué, and bias tape appliqué.
The 12 home décor projects include bed quilts, wall quilts, table runners/toppers, and pillows. The Quilter's Appliqué Workshop goes beyond telling readers how to recreate the specific projects. It gives them the tools to mix and match appliqué techniques and create any design they can imagine.
