A new development in applique seems to be mixing cotton with wool. An interesting concept that was not long ago frowned upon. It is a featured technique in this darling book of playful projects and amusing fabrics. Beginning with a comprehensive overview of felted wool, cotton, and linen; the text will have you fully up to speed on the current methods when incorporating these into your designs. Accompanying the wool, cotton, and linen overview is an extensive review of applique and applique stitches.

This completes the first half of the book, and once through, you will be adequately prepared for the second half consisting of twelve projects that are the size of a wall hanging or smaller. There are ample projects small enough to provide plenty of opportunity to develop your skill in applique, as well as handling wool and cotton. I am convinced you will love working with wool as much as I do. I love the feel of sinking a needle into wool and stitching it down with gorgeous threads. It provides such a delicious texture and elements of volume you will not achieve with flat cotton. Enjoy!
