Here is a collection of fresh, original and wonderfully playful quilts from the hand of an exceptional artist. Tonye’s appliqué quilts most often begin with simple containers which she fills with floral bouquets in ingenious, delightful ways that will make you smile. These are quilts I wish I had made!

My book is about simplifying the hand appliqué process. In my own way I am trying to take some of the mystery out of “handHand Applique book appliqué” and at the same time trying to encourage quilters to keep this time honored practice alive and well. This book is not about having perfect stitches but about getting out there and giving it a try.

Have fun with some simple shapes and all of the bright and colorful scraps you have left over from other projects.
Go for it!
