Quilted Whimsy (Leisure Arts #3938)

Heidi Pridemore is known for her charming, whimsical quilts and the dramatic, bright colors she uses to create them. The six quilts in this book incorporate vibrant colors, unusual three-dimensional elements, and interesting embellishments such as buttons, beads, and bows. The ice cream treats of "Sundae Delights" are decorated with bugle bead "sprinkles." The fishes on "Fishy Recess" have black button eyes, and the stacked columns of presents on "Anticipation" have ribbon bows. The dragonfly wings on "Out to Lunch" are attached with quilting stitches. Fusible web and fusible tape are used for the appliqués, which can be embellished with machine or hand embroidery.
