Back Cover Information

Nothing else gives your home the warm charm of hand quilted decorations. And appliqué is the prettiest quiltmaking technique of all! Begin today with Appliqué 12 Easy Ways! and make it all your own.

APPLIQUÉ 12 EASY WAYS! teaches you how to do hand appliqué simply. Great drawings show exactly how it's done. Even a beginner can make the small cover quilt, "You've Stolen My Heart!" As you sew, you'll learn a lifetime of appliqué skills in just a few evenings. See your points, curves, and corners improve, heart by heart. While you create the pillow "Dutch Bulbs a' Bloomin," you'll perfect superfine stems, folded flowers, layered appliqué and smooth round grapes. You'll be astonished at how much you learn so quickly.

Now there's no stopping you! Make giftable projects, small quilts for your walls, full quilts for your beds, and presents to charm your family and friends. Appliqué 12 Easy Ways gives you yardage measurements, assembly instructions, a master picture of the project, and all the appliqué patterns—everything. Thirty sparkling color photographs suggest appealing color combinations. The delightful twenty-nine patterns will charm beginners experienced hand appliquérs, and machine appliquérs as well.

Whip up an irresistible chef's apron for the man in your life, make a frilly pillow to welcome Spring, or replicate a classic museum quilt. Create an heirloom while you learn to appliqué. Or simply appliqué to your heart's delight. And it's as close as this book and your fingertips.

"Elly's done it again! Color pictures, something for all skill levels, plus clear instructions. Looks like fun and I know our customers will love it!"

J. Jane Mitchell, Co-owner, Sharon's Quilt Depot, McKinney, Texas

"Twenty-nine great projects packed into eighty pages make Appliqué 12 Easy Ways! a super value for quilters of all skill levels."

Judy Sprague Sabanek, President, Keepsake Quilting, Meredith, New Hampshire
