Three-Dimensional Applique and Embroidery Embellishment: Techniques for Today's Album Quilt

A ture number one book on 3D applique'. Highly recommend for all who love this style of quilting.

This book has alot of how to for learning. The picture are easy to see and understand. A great book for someone just starting. I have quilted for years and still learn new ideas.

Great Applique Book

This is one of the nicest applique books I have found on 3 dimensional applique. Beautiful work, clear instructions and great ideas. I highly recommend it.

my favorite applique reference

I do mostly applique quilts. This book has the best set of amazingly realistic flowers and other items from nature that I've seen. It's easy to incorporate items into a design of your own. I think they work because of the easy blending of applique and embroidery techniques.. whatever works.

If you only own one book on applique, this should be it!

This is far and away the best volume of information and instruction on the art of applique I have ever studied. This book, unlike others on the art of applique, makes allowances for the readers own personality in fabric selection, technique, and motif placement. The instruction is clear and succinct, the photographs are excellent, and the patterns are flawless. I would not hesitate recommending this book to the beginner and the advanced fabric artist alike. Mrs. Shackelford has outdone herself with this one. Not only does she make the instruction interesting and easily read, she evokes a sense of urgency to get with the applique program and make a block or a quilt
