Applique Patterns: Is there anything else out there besides bird & flower patterns?
#41
I want to learn to machine applique. The books on the market seem to only use birds and flowers. I"M NOT A BIRD & FLOWER KINDA GIRL. Can anyone suggest or point me in the direction of an applique book that has other designs/themes other than the birds & flowers?
Thanks in advance for all your help.

I have been to Pearl Louise's shop in Rapid City, SD and it is like stepping into blanket stitch heaven. Her shop is in an old two story house, and one room is dedicated just for snow men. Our guild is attending the Rapid City Quilt show in June, and one of my highlights will be going there. Maybe I will splurge and buy one of her kits.

I am going to do a Dresden plate in patriotic colors and the centers are going to be stars. I will print them from Clip Art off the computer or just cut stars out of fabric to make the appliques. Sometimes I buy things in the dollar store to trace and make templates from. I did a shamrock and a heart in this manner, Once you start looking you will find all kinds of applique material.
