Jane Townswick

I started quilting in the late 80s, and tried various techniques for applique. Then I found this book and had my most significant 'a-ha' moment in my quilting work. The applique techniques made a major impact in the quality of my work. I wish I had found this book 20 years ago.

Beautifully illustrated. Ms. Townswick's book should inspire the use of fabrics to create natural appliques. I bought this after using her other book, Artful Applique. THAT book is the one to have - if I had read it 20 years ago, I would have been a much better applique artist all these years.
