    Description

    It s easy to fit pieces perfectly with this unique appliqué method. From Down Under, Australian designer Lorraine Carthew introduces readers to a new, free-wheeling technique, making appliqué even easier and more fun to do than ever. Lorraine s mosaic tile designs fool the eye and create quilted beauties. Simply draw the pattern and fill in with mosaic 'tiles'. The background then becomes the grout between the tiles. The author provides half a dozen beautiful mosaic patterns on three large pullout sheets for quilters to make. Among them are a cat, parrot, butterfly, dragonfly, florals, and more. Also included are instructions for selecting fabrics and quilting designs for mosaic quilts, along with a refresher on both needle-turn and raw-edge appliqué stitching. Lorraine s background is in fashion and design. She has been producing prize-winning quilts for ten years. Among her many awards are three Best of Show, Best Use of Color, and Viewers' Choice. She has written several magazine articles and her work has been extensively published.

    Review of Mosaic Applique - 10/30/2007
    Reviewer: Anonymous from Oregon, WI, US

    Ten patterns for mosaics ranging from a cat to a dragonfly or a flower come with three pullout pattern sheets, fabric tips, and details on appliqué techniques, fused borders and more. “Mosaic Appliqué” is a fine choice for quilters who want to add appliqué designs to quilting projects: it comes from an Australian quilter who has designed her own fashions and who here provides easy steps to unique creations. Quilters seeking an introduction to mosaic techniques will find this an easy, eye-catching pick. Review source: The Midwest Book Review, The Bookwatch, July 2007

    Reviewer: Anonymous from Golden, CO, US

    If you’re looking for a new challenge in appliqué, or if you want to give your pictorial quilts a contemporary look, this book offers a delightful new twist on the traditional. Lorraine give tips on choosing background and mosaic fabrics, and she includes instructions for both fusible and needle-turn appliqué. You’ll also find pullout sheets containing full-size patterns for several projects plus suggestions for adding borders, quilting, and finishing.
