Blooming Patchwork

Deanne Eisenman is on a mission to educate quilters on a brief history of applique, alleviate anxiety about the "e;A"e; word and celebrate the joy of making patchwork bloom. Inspired by antique quilts, Deanne brings the history of applique to life using her signature style of combining applique on a pieced background. These nine projects, which include table runners, toppers, and lap-size and full-size quilts, prove that patchwork and applique not only go together but enrich each other.
