Fancy Applique

Lovely blocks with much enhancement, mostly with ribbon embroidery. Blocks are 9-inch in size, so patterns must be enlarged to use if making a larger block quilt.

Fancy Applique'

I am very impressed by the format that Elly Sienkiewicz used in her book of "Fancy Applique'". The novice sewer to the professional quiltmaker can learn something. It's simple to read, step-by-step instruction in how to begin each block makes the sewer feel more and more confident as she/he proceeds through the twelve lessons. The first lesson teaches the basic steps of setting up the block for applique', to teaching each stitch that is used for that block. As you proceed though the lessons, each block will teach a new technique and additional stitches to make the person feel more confident. The novice can take this book and learn to become a master in applique', the professional can take this book and teach classes in fancy applique'. Each lesson provides a detailed list of all supplies needed to complete each block, until you have enough beautiful blocks to make a quilt anyone would love to have.
