The Ultimate Applique Guidebook

The Ultimate Applique Guidebook is Annie’s first book with C&T Publishing.

It features:

• 150 full-size patterns with a pattern pullout in the back of the book for larger patterns – so no need for additional enlarged copies at an office supply store

• Techniques for Machine and Hand applique

• History of Applique

• Step by step instructions with photos to follow

• Keys to design and inspiration

The Ultimate Applique Guidebook is about the process of fine appliqué, rather than another “pretty project” book. In fact, it has just three projects in it — small, medium and large.

It includes everything that Annie has learned in the past twenty years about excellent quilting practices and appliqué.

One reviewer said:

“I have to give a shout out to my buddy Annie Smith (Quilting Stash podcaster) for her book, the Ultimate Applique Guidebook. This book is sensational! Everything you need to succeed with applique is within its pages. There are over 150 applique design elements-flowers, leaves, stems, vases, birds etc-and you can mix and match all of the elements to design your own applique treasures! There are reviews for both hand and machine techniques for applique, as well as step-by-step instructions with very detailed pictures to help you through the applique process. Every tool you need is reviewed, and full-size patterns and beautiful examples of applique quilts are also included. Annie really did a bang-up job with this book and I couldn’t be more pleased for her, as there is hardly a more generous and humble person in the industry.”
