For a short period of time, I even had my sewing machine with me on the truck, but that was almost more trouble than it was worth…. After that br... Read Full Story
Artful Applique
Artful Applique by Jane Townswick Artful Applique: The Easy Way (That Patchwork Place)   This is one of my most useful books about applique.  It is a book that I have read again and again, each time absorbing more of the applique techniques.  The photos are very clear and the instructions are thorough.  I consider myself to be self-taught when it comes to applique — and this is the most important text that I use.   Read Full Story
