Applique with Attitude is the great new book from Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins of Piece O' Cake Designs. Usually, the ladies are all about invisible stitches, but in this book they go to town on making a feature of their applique stitches with big bold stitches in thick threads. --Australian Quilter's Companion; 12/1/12

5.0 out of 5 stars Applique with Attitude 29 July 2012
By Tara Batman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is the latest of the ladies at Piece `O Cake, as you know, one of my favorite artists. This book takes needle turn appliqué and makes it more fun with on top appliqué stitches. You use the same techniques they have taught for year to prepare fabric for needle turn appliqué then you use pearl cotton thread to do decorative stitches to give attitude to the appliqué. There are so many cute patterns in this book using modern prints making really bold projects. Using their ideas you can really give your appliqué your personal look. The stitches are illustrated very well and easy to follow. All their instructions are easy to follow, just right for the beginner. Long time appliquers will like this book because is gives a twist to your appliqués. The projects in this book are quick and would be very doable for Christmas gifts while enjoying the process. If you are a beginner and afraid of the appliqué word, this technique would be one to try; it doesn't matter how hidden your stitches are because with this technique you want to accent with the stitches!! This is another winner from Piece `O Cake ladies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love The Piece O'Cake Girls 21 Sep 2012
By Patti Ives - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins from Piece O' Cake Designs have done it again. In their latest book "Appliqué with Attitude" they bring us 10 Projects featuring Big, Bold Stitches. Yes, no need to worry about anyone seeing your appliqué stitches with these projects, the stitching is intended to show!

The method of appliqué used in the book is needle turn. However the big difference here is that you will be stitching the appliqué pieces down using Perle Cotton thread. The stitching is done near the edge of the appliqué piece. The stitches with attitude used in the book are the Running Stitch, Mock Blanket Stitch and Serrated Edge Stitch.

There is a comprehensive section on general appliqué instructions. This covers preparing background, making and using templates, making and using the positioning overlay, trimming the blocks and a special circle appliqué technique. Instructions are all clearly written and the close-up photos help a lot. Because you are working with larger stitches on the top of your appliqué piece there are a few steps you will need to take when stitching the outer and inner points. Both of these issues are addressed with the same easy to follow photos and instructions.

A few of the projects offered in this book, in addition to charming quilts and wall hangings, include a table topper, small adorable 10"x10" quilts, tea towels and pillows. All these would make perfect gifts for family and friends. The bright colored fabrics used throughout and the whimsical patterns make this a delightful read.

Once again Becky Goldsmith has wowed me with her designs. Most projects are small which means fast, fun and fabulous! If you've done any of her other patterns and enjoyed them, you will love this new technique as much as I do!
