From Checker Newsletter--Resource for Independent Quilt, Sewing, and Needlearts Retailers

The computer age meets applique--and you will be thrilled with the results! In Easy Applique Blocks, Kay Mackenzie has combined 50 shapes in a variety of sizes that you will refer to again and again. Put away those coloring books, girls. You won’t need them any more!

These shapes make applique fun again. Let the fabrics speak for a change. Add a buttonhole stitch in pearl cotton as an embellishment. It’s that easy to add the ahhh factor to any project. Just follow one of the methods of applique covered in the book--or use your favorite. I’m sure Kay won’t mind--she just wants you to enjoy the process again. And she chose a wide variety of designs that will translate into all of your projects. Choose a variety of vase or bowl shapes, add your choice of flowers and fruits, and embellish to your heart’s content! But what if you need a country rooster, a Scottie, a bird, a cat, or even a fish … they are all here, too. There are hearts and stars, enough to make your heart sing. Who could ask for anything more? Kay … can turn even the most ardent piecer into an appliquer!
