From the Back Cover

Throughout the ages many cultures have developed their own designs to depict the cross. A symbol of both suffering and victory, the cross can be used to create a powerful, meaningful image on functional and decorative pieces in the church, home and office. In CROSSES OF MANY CULTURES: DESIGNS FOR APPLIQUE, Joyce Mori provides historical explanations along with easy-to-understand instructions and line drawings for over twenty international cross designs for applique.

Writing for the beginner and intermediate levels, Mori explains several applique techniques, from hand and machine sewing methods to no-sewing techniques. The versatility of these designs is evident in the wide array of suggested projects, which include wall quilts, banners, church linens and vestments, table runners, place mats, apron fronts, and door-toppers.

Joyce Mori is an experienced quilter who has written nine books and numerous articles about quilting and the use of appliques. Joyce and her husband John live in Morgantown, West Virginia.

Wonderful book. The illustrations are great. This book is very useful for any type of craft project where you need a cross. It shows many different styles of crosses and tells some information about each one.
