Does your appliqué need a little attitude adjustment? Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins of Piece O’ Cake Designs come to your rescue with creative new projects using bold stitching in contrasting colors of perle cotton thread. Mix & match full-size templates for bright, cheerful quilts and home décor. Give tradition a little twist and add a happy, carefree layer of color and texture to your work. Use this quick needleturn technique to add a touch of whimsy to anything you appliqué. You’ll love making these chirpy birds, doodly daisies, and sweet tulips with your favorite fresh fabrics. “The dynamic duo behind the Piece O’ Cake brand have experimented with a style of applique that is new to them in this collection of 10 projects . . . they decided to have a go working with large, bold stitches in colors that often contrast with the fabric. The projects they’ve included are all small—cushions, tea towels, wallhangings—so there’s ample opportunity to choose one and give this method a whirl.” —Australian Homespun Magazine
