The July/August issue of Quiltmaker is out and it’s a beauty.

This issue is partly focused on applique. No matter what your skill level or what type of applique you prefer, there’s something for you!

Flip Floppy Flowers by Marcia Harmening

Maybe you’ll try your hand at Flip Floppy Flowers from Marcia Harmening. It’s fast and easy with fusible applique and ribbon “straps.” Wouldn’t this be fun in a girl’s room?

Fleur-de-Lis Flourish by Sue Garman

If you’re itching for some elegant hand applique, check out Sue Garman’s Fleur-de-Lis Flourish. Sue has written detailed instructions for a cut-away applique technique. Lots of photos will guide you to success.

Old Glory by Margie Ullery

If you need something for summer’s patriotic holidays, you might try the throw-size Old Glory from Margie Ullery. A variety of strip widths and fusible stars will bring fireworks your way in no time.

Applique: Your Way!

Maybe you’d like to make one of this issue’s applique projects but you prefer a different technique. We’ve got you covered! I wrote an article called Applique: Your Way! It explains how you can easily convert applique patterns from one technique to another.

Grab a glass of lemonade, your copy of Quiltmaker and a chair. Great reading is just ahead!
