Editorial Reviews

Deborah Kemball's newest book is a wonderful indulgence for those who love needleturn appliqué. It provides patterns for 40 realistic flowers and insects and instructions on using them to make 17 different projects, including table runners, wallhangings and bed quilts. Deborah's appliqué method requires no special tools other than freezer paper, so it's simplicity itself, allowing you to focus on colour, layout and embroidered embellishments. She provides an excellent overview of her techniques at the beginning of the book, and then each flowers receives a detailed exposition, accompanied by photographs illustrating steps in its construction. The projects fill the second half of the book. Full-size patterns, however, are provided for only some of them, requiring you to enlarge the remainder on a photocopier or computer scanner or download them from a dedicated website. While this is a bit of a nuisance, it seems a reasonable trade-off given the number of patterns provided.

I am enchanted by the artistry of Deborah Kemball and other quilters who take on the creation of large appliquéd embroidery quilts. The stunning impact of flowers and motifs is so inspiring, but I have to admit, the thought of the hours and hours needed to finish one of these masterpieces is daunting. In her newest book, Deborah gives quilters the option of making a full-size quilt packed with magical flowers, vines and leaves or making 14 small projects using segments of the whole quilt. These beautiful table runners, pillows and window valances give the opportunity to try out appliqué embroidery on a smaller scale. Clear, beautifully illustrated instructions are given on the required techniques using freezer-paper templates and embroidery stitches. The making of dozens of different flowers is explained step-by-step. Once you get started, who knows, you may carry on and create your own fabulous masterpiece.
