I am enchanted by the artistry of Deborah Kemball and other quilters who take on the creation of large appliquéd embroidery quilts. The stunning impact of flowers and motifs is so inspiring, but I have to admit, the thought of the hours and hours needed to finish one of these masterpieces is daunting. In her newest book, Deborah gives quilters the option of making a full-size quilt packed with magical flowers, vines and leaves or making 14 small projects using segments of the whole quilt. These beautiful table runners, pillows and window valances give the opportunity to try out appliqué embroidery on a smaller scale. Clear, beautifully illustrated instructions are given on the required techniques using freezer-paper templates and embroidery stitches. The making of dozens of different flowers is explained step-by-step. Once you get started, who knows, you may carry on and create your own fabulous masterpiece.
