I hate applique! I cannot imagine I would have the patience for it … which is exactly the reason why I have to win this book. I might learn something new. It’s a book I would never purchase on my own.

I’ve never done applique, so I don’t know if I like it or not. My grandmother was a fan of it, and I have a lovely quilt that she made for me. I wish she was still around to teach me how to do it. BUT I am of the firm opinion that Mark has some of the bluest eyes I’ve seen in a very long time!

Gayle said,
July 3, 2009 at 5:22 pm
A way to piece applique? sounds like something I NEED. I only applique if it involves glue. What? That is inappropriate? Not show worthy? I am over it. But maybe with this technique I could fool those quilt police.

Gee, Bert, you are so generous! Your guild is lucky to have you as the librarian. I’ve donated books to my guild but only after I’ve had them a while. <–selfish book hoarder *sigh*
Susan said,
July 3, 2009 at 5:37 pm
This is an interesting book. I like the way she sets the blocks. It could be used for an assortment of different blocks of the same size. I will be interested in seeing more of the patterns.

Pieced applique sounds right up my alley. Love the look at applique, but just don’t have the patience to take all those little stitches by hand. Hope I win!

Barb C. said,
July 3, 2009 at 5:50 pm
This book looks great. I’m not familiar with Penny Haren. I’m one of those quilters who can’t decide whether I like appliqué or piecing best, and am always on the lookout for new techniques. I make a to-die-for white chocolate cheesecake- are you up for a bribe?
Fran said,
July 3, 2009 at 5:50 pm
The cover is very interesting and it helps one to realize the talent of quilters/sewers who excel in this process. I have accomplished a few items in the past that were appliqued and enjoyed the process. Looking forward to reading this new book!

YES! I’d love this book!
Tracy said,
July 3, 2009 at 6:16 pm
Totally loved the applique class I took at AQS in DesMoines . . . haven’t picked it up since. Maybe this is the inspiration I need to get me back into it. If only I would let my husband drive, I would have so much more time for hand work!
Sherri Starr said,

I love applique …ut with so many needle-turn projects in line, I need to elarn something that may help me accomplish more in the few years I have lef! …Of course, being Irish, I NEVER win anything so will go check this book out and probably buy it! Thanks for the fun though…and the chance!

I gave up buying books unless it is for learning techniques. There is just so much more for the money in magazine subscriptions, and even those I’ve let drop because of the info on the net for free everywhere. I do need to improve my applique…i’ve been wanting to set myself up a hand project for the summer time heat when being in the sewing room is too stuffy. THis might do nicely all around.

Thanks for the chance to win! I checked out Penny’s website; I like the idea of creating blocks a bit oversized and trimming them to perfection! I also see she will be in Houston in October! Yay! I will make sure to see her there, as that is my annual pilgrimage. I also noted that Penny’s last “newsletter” post on the website was in April!!!!! Mark, you’ve got that beat by a LONG shot! Thanks for your postings!

I love Penny and her technique…I took a class from her at local quilt store and come to find out I’ve known her for several years as she used to have a Quilt Shop next to the hotel we stayed at when we went to Longaberger and she would let us use her shop to quilt after hours…we both looked at each other and knew that we knew each other just took us a little bit to firgure out how.

Drawings for prizes are such fun, I wish we were neighbors.
The book looks great, I’ve resorted to similar steps for difficult to piece blocks in my Dear Jane quilt.
I hope your dieting is going well-I’m taking a break for the holiday.

I applique only when I have to, but someone in my quild does beautiful work and I’d love to be able to do some that I’d actually show anyone!

I love machine applique, but I’m not sure what pieced applique is. Off to google for a definition.

Maybe THIS would be the book I need to get past my fear of applique and actually try it! I have had a mental block about applique since I started quilting. Plus, any book that has the word “innovative” in its’ description intrigues me!

Pieced Applique ??? Since applique has not been my best friend. Maybe this book will bring out the hidden talent I have not been able to find.

One can never have too many books or too much fabric! Looks like a great book with all that color…I don’t do beige…it’s just another shade of white!!

Ditto to Candy in Washington. I love books, even if I don’t have the time to make every quilt I see, I love looking at the photos and getting ideas from them.

That looks like a lot of fun. Hated the “A” word until I learned backbasting so I would enjoy this book.
Alice (BCQuilter) said,
July 4, 2009 at 5:11 pm
Applique is one of those techniques that intimidates me. I think it is because I haven’t found a reason to do it.
Mark what a wonderful give-away.
Thank you for the opportunity to enter!

I’ve been quilting for 23 years +, and worked in a fabulous quilt store for five years. In all this time I’ve never mastered applique. Maybe this book could help me?! Anyway, I enjoy the hell out of your blog. Thanks for writing it and making so many of us smile! Happy Fourth!! (happy 110th birthday to my grand mother – up in heaven of course. She died in 1971. and happy birthday to my baby sister Janet, who is 46 today.)

I’ve been quilting for almost 10 years and have been enjoying it up until now, when my formerly mostly non-verbal grandbabies loved everything I threw their way. NOW, they have specific ideas, i.e., “Luke(3 yr old twin): Grandma, I need a rocket ship and stars on a pillowcase.” ‘
‘Trip( 3 yr old identical twin): Well Grandma, I HAVE to have a rocket ship with stars and a moon on a pillowcase.” Ok? They blindsided their Grandma: “Mairin (5 yr old older sister): Grandma I really, really, really, NEED a pillowcase with a PINK rocket ship on it, and some flowers, a sun, and of course we have to have a butterfly, right grandma? Grandma, I HAVE to HAVE it – I need things. Grandma doesn’t really know how to do applique. Is there a 12 step program? Would this book light the way for my needy, yet deserving, grandbabies? Could Grandma one day become an applique heroine?
