Applique Art Reviews

l would definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to advance and enhance their freehand machine work.

-- Lynne Callister * Half Yard Sewing Club Reviewer *

The first section is very comprehensive covering the material requirements and detailing the choice of fabrics, threads and embellishments. All of which can be found in your sewing basket or a nearby charity shop. All you really need is a sewing machine, hoop and some basic sewing tools. The rest is down to your imagination with clear guidance on texture, stitching and even dyeing your fabric. [...]

The templates are all at the back of the book and there are 6 lovely projects to follow. Each project follows photographs of Abigails work illustrating similar subjects and how you can develop ideas further once you have the basics. I am sure you can adapt each project to make cards or beautiful gifts as presents, if you are able to give your masterpiece away.

A beautiful book that would make a lovely gift.

-- Sandra Grey * Half Yard Sewing Club Reviewer *

This book is well presented with 115 pages of photos and very well detailed instructions on how to make each scene. There are scenes from beautiful gardens, animals, boating to fun beaches.

Abigail informs you of all you will need to make these scenes along with instruction on how to do them. Very easy to follow and templates for all scenes are in the book.

I think it is a very nice and fun art to try, you could do all sorts of patterns, ideas are plentiful. Abigail invites you to work your magic.

The book is of high-quality, with glossy pages allowing plenty of usage, worth every penny.
