New books I found.....

 I first saw this book at Stitched Studio.  The projects are small and some of the paper piecing is small as well.  Some of the patterns don't look so stiff and awkward as some paper pieced patterns.  The author also offers a method using freezer paper. 

Don't the colors and flowers just beg for spring!  Again, the projects for small wall hangings or the table top stand fill this book.  I'm hoping it won't take days and weeks to do a block.

A couple years ago I did the Whimsical Garden by this  author/designer.  This book seems to be a great primer for applique.  I've tried several methods, like them all, but it's nice to have a resource.  The patterns don't seem to be as involved for a beginner applique -ist as many patterns are.


Enjoy!
