Broderie Perse Applique
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I was planning to make a reproduction of an antique quilt which had a lot of broderie perse applique blocks and wanted more information. This book covers the subject extremely well and gave me enough information to know how to proceed. The author covers hand and machine work, old and new techniques. There is also a list of books for inspiration if you wanted to pursue the subject further. It has very nice photography of old and new quilts and instructions for the new ones. There are also instructions for related projects. This book covers the subject without being overwhelming.
A Quick Approach to Vintage Floral - looking Quilts
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book was stock full of useful information for making those beautiful chintz quilts of yesteryear. The directions were, for the most part, extremely precise. Where there is question, I found that contacting Ms. Severson via e-mail through her website, was an excellent experience. She wastes no time in helping with any questions you have and has a generous interest in what people who use her book are doing. The quilts in the book are extremely beautiful and most of the projects will produce some beautiful, heirloom quality quilts. It's one of my favorite books in my colletion!!!
Good ideas, lovely quilts, small projects are not applique.

Ms Severson has a wonderful sense of color and design. Her quilts are a lovely combination of applique and piecing. She has also provided fine instructions for creating borders with meandering vines and ideas for using toile. The one thing I didn't care for in this text (which is pricey) were the small projects which were neither applique nor up to the quality of the rest of the text, (the sissor fob, eye glass case, sachets and pin cushion). Never-the-less I am happy I purchased the book for my library.
