Quilters kept asking the author for more modern patterns, especially flowers, with large pieces that are easy to see and handle. Since the author's love of flowers equals her love of applique, she joyously tackled the challenge. The result is nearly three dozen beautiful applique blocks -- circle, cross, and heart-shaped wreaths, and pretty little flower baskets. Some are enhanced by simple embroidery. These patterns are suitable for any applique technique, including raw-edge fusible methods. The author provides several quilt settings, so the quilter can choose which blocks to make and drop them into the setting of her choice. A beautiful 18 inch x 24 inch flower basket is featured full-sized as a folded pull-out pattern.

Review
Betty Alderman s Favorite Appliqué & Embroidery Quilts provides quilt patterns featuring the best of both techniques, offering over two dozen patterns for hand embroidery and machine appliqué alike. From redwork to traditional quilting, this especially excels in quilt pointers and shortcuts. A highly recommended pick. -Midwest Book Review, Library Bookwatch Newsletter, April 2004
About the Author
Betty's designs culminate from a background beginning with a fine arts education at Syracuse University, ownership of a yarn shop where she also designed needlepoint canvases, to the buying and selling of antique quilts while she was living in central Ohio. Her inspiration is derived from her past knowledge, her continued enthusiasm, and current research for her quilt pattern business, Betty Alderman Designs.
