Suzy and I agreed to meet, for the first time, in a town half way between her and me(at a quilt shop-surprise!) in August. She brought her new book to me in person;-) When I got home I couldn't wait to sit down and page through the book. She has 12 applique patterns plus 3 projects to get you started. In addition to that, she gives you lots of tips that work for her in the applique process.
I chose to do the table runner in her book since I love making them. I went through my stash of batik's knowing I wanted something that reads fall. Here is what I came up with.
Isn't it a gorgeous design! If you love applique this is a book you should have in your library.
A close up.
Thanks so much Suzy for allowing me to do this!
Suzy is having a give away of her book with 4 batik fat quarters!
