Reviews

Using classic Baltimore Album motifs, Deborah has created dimensional wool applique projects. 9 small applique and embroidery projects using beading, trapunto, layering and needle slanting are found in this colourful book. Projects include table rugs, cushions, delightful pincushions and a sewing kit. I imagine the table rugs could also be used as wall hangings. All the templates are given and you could use any individual template or a number of them to create new projects. For example, two of the projects use birds and there are a number of flowers too. These could easily be used or adapted in different ways on wall hangings. Full instructions are given for every project with excellent photographs. Easy to work with felted wool is used throughout.
