Applique Stitchery

Applique Stitchery, a personal charming and vital art form, is the surface attachment of one fabric to another by various means of sewing and embroidery. This book shows the reader step-by-step how to design and make unique and beautiful works of decorative art. Pillows, dolls, upholstery, rugs, quilts, coverlets, headboards, flags, banners, book covers, tote bags, wall hangings, and tableware all lend themselves to applique stitchery. The only requirements are a few basic techniques, readily available materials, and an awareness of the almost unlimited possibilities of creative stitchery.
