Take Away Applique

Summary: Take a close look at this book
Review: Anyone who has ever shyed away from applique should look closely at Suzanne Marshall's book Take Away Applique. Suzanne's clear step-by-step explanations could unlock the mysteries of this art form for you as it did for me. Her lovely naturalistic patterns, which include flowers, butterflies, caterpillars, hummingbirds, and many many other charming creatures, make practice a pure joy. Suzanne is an award winning quiltmaker who shares with us the judge's comments about her quilts. We get a close-up look at what judges look for and how "subjective" judging can be. I LOVE this book, the format is so friendly, honest, open and encouraging. With this book anyone can master applique adn learn to make beautiful quilts that will please and bring joy to the harshest of all quilt judges....yourself. Michelle Sargent

Summary: A Wonderful read written by an exceptional lady
Review: Suzanne Marshall takes you along on her journey through quiltmaking as though you are sitting down and listening to her in person. She graciously shares with us her first efforts at creating quilts,(her REAL "first" quilts). She reveals the judges remarks which are very helpful and revealing to those curious as to what judges are looking for in high caliber competitions. I especially enjoyed her husband Garland's remarks scattered throughout the book. This is an applique book that covers all the bases, instruction, "eye candy", and encouragement. I can't imagine anyone who would find this book a disappointment.
