Beautiful Botanicals: 45 Applique Flowers & 14 Quilt Projects

The book was in perfect condition, had never been opened. The quilts and patterns were stunning, combining appliqué and embroidery detail to my fabric art. She simplifies the process of detailed appliqué with great instructions. Highly recommend!

Love this book. Kemball's work is beautiful. She gives directions for how she puts the flowers together, and patterns to trace. She does things a bit differently from what I've found from other applique quilters on YouTube, yet I'm finding I mostly pefer Kemball's direct methods. Needle turn applique is not the easiest thing in the world to do well, but Practice! Just work with some scraps to begin with. Florals are forgiving, and the final results will be worth it.

Great designs and instructions! Love this author/artist!

I'm an embroiderer who wanted to learn more about appliqué ... This book has stunning quilt appliqué projects, but the embroidery is minimal. I guess that's a plus if you're not into embroidery! Good book, lots of eye candy, but not helpful for me seeking to learn more embroidered embellishment techniques.

so far very helpful

I am happy with this purchase, lots of patterns with good explanations. Not crazy about the fact that you have to enlarge 200% to get the full size pattern but probably no other way to include all the patterns in one book otherwise. You will be happy with this purchase.

This is a great idea. It needs some directions included with it. I think that I can figure ir out.

Thought this would be more helpfull but it's a Kindle book so it has a lot of limitations as far as I'm concerned which I didn't know when I bought it. When I tried to access the web site the book specifies to print off some applique patterns, the web site is not there. So I wouldn't get a Kindle version again of this type of book, just the physical book so I could print off a copy of a pattern on my copier. Otherwise, it's a very good book with good illustrations.

Das Buch ist super. Anleitungen für viele verschiedenen einzelne Blumen, Vorlagen, Projekte wie man die Blumen zusammenstellen kann. Sehr hilfreich.Und auf dem Tisch ein schöner Hingucker 😉

Good resource book for ideas. Nicely done book on appliqués.

The included patterns and designs are for turned needle applique with loads of movement and texture... but the pull out patterns could be used for raw edge work too. Can simply copy the projects and designs... as placement diagrams are clear...or mix and match to make and use in your own projects. Inspiration. Super intracate florals...like old tapastries... so not for the faint hearted...but the instructions for each skill needed are spot on excellent with loads of little tips. Feels like Deborah Kemball is talking to just you. Freezer paper, fine needles and loads of patience needed...but what incredible 'pat yourself on the back' results.

Increíble colección de diseños florales, tantos que es dificil elegir uno por donde empezar. La combinación de telas, colores y técnicas es fantástica, aunque problabemente requieran de un nivel medio-alto para llevarlos a buen puerto.Las instrucciones son claras, concisas (en inglés) y la gran cantidad de fotografías, patrones y consejos resultan muy útiles.Un gran libro que inpirará y ayudará a elevar el nivel técnico de quién lo adquiera.

とてもきれいで眺めているだけでも幸せ。製作途中も写真で分かりやすく説明されていて英語が苦手な方でも充分楽しめます。創作意欲が湧いてきました。
