The method is so simple that beginners or advanced quilters can spend their lives (and fabric stashes) exploring the unlimited design possibilities of combining applique, embellishments, and quilting to best enhance the fabric. AUTHORBIO: A professional quilt teacher since 1990, Faye has taught at major quilt conferences. Her specialities are Baltimore album applique, Hawaiian quilting, and dimensional French ribbon flowers. After being introduced to French ribbon work in Elly Sienkiewicz's "Dimensional Applique", Faye began intensely working with this new material. "I enjoy the freedom of creativity and spontaneity that the French ribbon flower technique provides," Faye says. REVIEW: Over forty beautiful album block designs showcase floral fabric backgrounds embellished with three-dimensional flowers and buds in a garden applique guide which will appeal to all levels, but especially those with some quilting experience. Full-page applique patterns blend with color photos of finished quilts in this basic guide.
