Product Description

Floral inspired block patterns reflect the beauty and artistry of hand-painted Iznik tiles. Contains 14 applique block patterns. Colorful fabric selections inspire exotic mix-and-match bouquets. Assembling and sewing the flowers into units makes for delightful travel projects. Combine freezer-paper templates and glue-stick applique to create an exciting new look. Detailed photographs and accurate step-by-step illustrations guide you through Linda's applique process. Easy-to-make large-circle and large-oval backgrounds add interest, and showcase the lovely flower arrangements. Levels of expertise vary from the beginner to the more advanced quiltmaker. The 'Garden of Quilts' gallery of finished blocks and wallhangings, features unusual settings, with delightful vases, arched windows, octagon shapes, and scroll-work to frame the exquisite designs. AUTHORBIO: Linda M. Poole is the complete package - quilt artist, designer, instructor, and author. She has taught quilting and applique techniques throughout the U.S. and internationally. REVIEW: The instructions are thorough and well-illustrated. I particularly like the idea of a "progressive quilt bouquet."

5.0 out of 5 stars Turkish Delights Is Fantastic, August 2, 2002
This is a great applique book. It has everything, exquisite original designs, and great illustrations and technique photos.
Linda's unit construction was new to me and it's a terrific way to handle layers and all those "little bitty pieces." Turkish Delights is the newest addition to my applique book collection and one certainly not to be missed by any appliquer--beginner to advanced.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely beautifully written, July 9, 2002
By Marion Poplawski (Lords Valley, Pa United States) - See all my reviews
This book transports the quilter to a whole new world. The
illustrations are simply beautiful, the directions very easy to
understand and concise. The finished quilts are truly an
inspiration. You will enjoy your trip to Turkey through these
pages. Linda has simplified the gorgeous Turkish flowers to a
level that all can understand and appreciate and your quilts
will be an inspiration that will transcend time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Delightful!, April 20, 2002
By Bonnie L. McCaffery (Hawley, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you love applique, you are going to love this book. It is filled with gorgeous photos of the designs as well as the quilts. The step by step photos are very easy to follow. And the glue stick applique technique is the best.
