This book gathers together 10 easy yet elegant projects celebrating the life and talents of Beatrix Potter. With 10 applique and 6 embroidery designs, even beginning stitchers can work with hexagons to create a beautiful embroidered quilt, stitch up a cushion based on The Tailor of Gloucester, applique a wool storage box, and construct a beautiful wedding quilt based on one from Beatrix Potter's home. Plus, all-of-the designs can easily be adapted - just add a dash of imagination to create bags, appliqued pinafores, or embroidered gifts.

Industry Reviews

Hill (William Morris in Applique) uses both embroidery and machine applique in this series of projects inspired by the work of English author and illustrator Beatrix Potter. Potter's whimsical children's stories featuring Peter Rabbit are classics, and her animal illustrations feature prominently in several of the projects, including a machine-appliqued baby quilt and a felt baby ball. Quilters looking for grown-up projects sans cute animals will find several, including a machine applique-based reproduction of a mid-19th-century wedding quilt that belonged to Potter's parents. Applique templates and traceable embroidery patterns are included on pullout pages. VERDICT Hill's designs celebrate the best-known works of Potter, while also bringing some of her lesser-known botanical illustrations to the forefront. Quilters interested in machine applique, as well as fans of Potter's work, will enjoy this collection. Library Journal, 3/15/2017
