Create unique dimensional looks with this classic technique! With Teri Tope's Appliqué in Reverse, intricate hand-appliqué designs are made fast and easy. The secret is to use large pieces of background fabric underneath the appliqué designs for easier handling. Tiny seam allowances are a thing of the past! Beginners who love the look of appliqué can easily master this useful technique. The heart of the book is a menu of 13 block patterns and two border designs from Teri's GARDEN NOUVEAU quilt. Teri shows you how to transform those patterns into nine additional projects including a tote bag, table runners, a bolster, and wallhangings with her appliqué in reverse technique. Her flair for bold color and dramatic fabrics will encourage the artist in you.

Adaptable Quilting Designs provides over forty designs adaptable to tricky spaces on quilts, from setting triangles to sashings, using templates formatted for ease of reducing or enlarging. Each pattern is shown with two or more variations and over 100 ideas for both hand and machine quilting, with dozens of color photos creating a powerful pick for any home quilter.

The exquisite appliqué mastery of Margaret Docherty returns in this bold, colorful collection of folk art style birds and tulips.
Thirty-five different designs can be used for any type or size hand- or machine-appliqué project as well as the featured quilt, giving Hearts and Tulips tremendous versatility and utility.
By-the-book quilters and those who prefer to branch out and design their own work will use Hearts and Tulips as both pattern and inspiration. Margaret's original art fits 7' to 8' blocks.
All of her designs may be enlarged to fit up to 12' blocks, making the book very versatile.
Paying homage in part to Pennsylvania Dutch design, the book will serve as a pattern resource for years to come for appliquérs of all skill levels. As always, Margaret's instructions are clear and concise, allowing quilters of any experience to achieve stunning results. Award-winning quilter and author of two books in the Appliqué Masterpiece series, the famously popular Little Brown Bird and Birds-N-Roses, Dr. Margaret Docherty spends her non-quilting time as a pediatrician in Durham, England, with a husband trained to cook while she quilts.
