Book: Give and Take Fabric Applique

by 4 Comments

I’m intrigued by the technique described in this book, Give and Take Fabric Applique by Canadian authors Daphne Greig and Susan Purney Mark. They say this about it,

A two-for-one technique that makes tricky shapes super easy to appliqué. …This machine technique is perfect for guild swaps and challenges, is fat quarter friendly, and can be adapted beyond the 12 projects in the book to numerous other patterns.

  • Paperback: 80 pages
  • Publisher: American Quilter’s Society; Ill edition (August 2, 2011)
  • Language: English
  • ISBN-10: 1604600055
  • ISBN-13: 978-1604600056

Definitely worth a look, this book. Also Daphne is a hoot. She describes her life before she found quilting as “BQ” – Before Quilting. Funny.

  1. This books looks awesome!! I am going to have to look for it @ Chapters. Love to see the authors are Canadian too! Woo Hoo!!

  2. I am a beginner at applique, so I am reading and trying different techniques. This sounds fun! Would love the book!

  3. Thanks for mentioning my new book! Give & Take Applique is lots of fun. Your readers can see some of the projects from the book on my blog: http://www.daphnegreig.blogspot.com

    When I lecture I try to keep things on the ‘light’ side. A few funny stories from my years as a designer, author and educator keep it interesting!
