Appliqué Your Way

I'm so excited to share this news with you today, in fact I couldn't wait until my copy of Appliqué Your Way arrived for this very reason! If you flip it over you'll read my praises on the back of Katie Terry's beautiful new book. Thank you so much Kayte for asking me to be a part of this, I'm honored. And in addition to the projects, the photography is gorgeous and were taken by the extremely talented Jennifer Causey.

Quoted...

I started following Kayte's work through her blog years back, then I met her in person at a craft fair in Brooklyn back in '07 and instantly felt a creative connection -- she is talented and very humble about it, which I appreciate so much because even in the craft world there can be snobs.  After meeting, Kayte and I worked on a project for a magazine shoot and so I felt confident in supplying a quote for that reason -- I felt like I was in the position to give it since I knew her work a little more personally from that experience. Again Kayte, thank you for including me.

If you want a super inspiring, beautiful book all about the art of appliqué -- then this book is for you. There are so many things you can embellish in your home including pillows, tea towels, handbags and clothing that you'll most likely go on a appliqué spree! I can't wait to try out a few of her ideas. Yay!
