This versatile collection of flower and leaf designs offers endless opportunities for applique, quilting, painting, and embroidery. Developed to introduce Joan Waldman's unique technique, 'Watercolor Pencil Painting,' the designs are easily adapted for use in many other ways. The designs are then 'painted' with water and ironed to set the color. This method is well suited for wallhangings. Patterns include lilies, irises, roses, wildflowers, and more. Joan offers several delightful designs for quilt labels and ideas for lettering. AUTHORBIO: Joan Waldman grew up on a farm near Humphrey, Nebraska. Since the mid-1970s, she has been a quiltmaker, designer, and teacher. She is co-founder of the Calico Quilt Club of Columbus, Nebraska, and member of the Country Piecemakers Quilt Guild of Norfolk, Nebraska, Nebraska State Quilt Guild, NQA, and AQS. REVIEW: The Midwest Book Review says, "Flower Patterns provides patterns to applique, paint, or embroider, and will prove inviting to quilters seeking flower foundations. All are excellent guides."

About the Author
Joan Waldman grew up on a farm near Humphrey, Nebraska. Since the mid-1970s, she has been a quiltmaker, designer, and teacher. For years, Joan sketched pieced designs and settings on graph paper and eventually began to draw applique designs. This was mostly done in the evenings, after her children were in bed. As her children grew up and left the nest, Joan began stitching the designs that had lived only on paper for so long. With numerous sketch books full of design ideas, one of Joan's greatest joys is sharing her designs with others. She is continually searching for new ways to create with fabric and thread. Providing her designs with a variety of techniques and settings is Joan's forte. She is co-founder of the Calico Quilt Club of Columbus, Nebraska, and member of the Country Piecemakers Quilt Guild of Norfolk, Nebraska, Nebraska State Quilt Guild, NQA, and AQS.

New Techniques to Quilt,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flower Patterns to Applique, Paint, and Embroider (Paperback)
A great new way to create a beautiful quilt if someone doesn't like to applique with templates. The results are truly different, but very easy to achieve. I would recommend this book to my friends. I just checked it out at the local library last night and am ready to purchase it.

This review is from: Flower Patterns to Applique, Paint, and Embroider (Paperback)
Well written and illustrated book. Methods are more complicated and tedious than I can give time to learn. Interesting read - have donated this one to our local libary.
