From the Author

On the following pages, you'll find that this book is not about achieving appliqué perfection; it is about getting started with simple shapes and simple design. Appliqué adds so much interest to quilt designs. As you will discover, my technique is really a basic "get-out-there- and do-it" kind of appliqué .

Along with appliqué templates, I have provided detailed instructions for each quilt. It is my hope that you will pick and choose some of the elements that appeal to you and then incorporate them into your quilt.

The quilts featured in this book are all inspired by what I love. We have several window boxes on our cottage and cabin and they served as the inspiration for my Window Box quilt.

Now you need to give yourself permission to go for it! May reading this book be a delightful journey for you.
