Beautiful Wildflower Applique
By Zena Thorpe
Inspired by an English tapestry, Zena Thorpe created a quilt in the same style featuring a lion on a background filled with appliquéd wildflowers. That quilt became the inspiration for this book, a how-to guide of botanically correct wildflowers with embroidered details. A general directions section covers the basic flower parts and how to make them, and then Zena dives into flower heaven, showing close-up photos and recommending techniques for creating realistic blooms. By the time you finish with this book, you’ll be able to create your own garden of wild beauty, full of blooms that will last year round.
