Críticas:

May 10 In Sylvia Pippen's new book "Paradise Stitched" Sylvia encourages the reader to try a particular style of hand embroidery called Sashiko. Sashiko means "little stabs" in Japanese. Sylvia also combines applique using her press-over Mylar method but does encourage the reader to try differed applique techniques as each technique offers their own unique advantage. Sylvia says "The Mylar method also makes it possible to applique some flowers in hand using preformed shapes instead of working petal by petal on the background fabric. A completed flower, fish, or bird can also be embellished with embroidery before appliqueing it to the background fabric". The book covers materials you will need, including recommended fabrics and has a good section on the basics of Sashiko embroidery. There are six beautiful quilt project patterns included in the book with option for both turn-under and fusible applique. Sylvia's quilt gallery will inspire you to create designs from your own photos and embellish your quilts using embroidery. There is a good resource file in the back of the book to help you locate supplies, many available from Sylvia's own website. * Applique Society, The * Jan 10 Learn how to hand stitch six quilts inspired by tropical designs...a fine quilting guide that covers both turn-under and fusible applique.
