The quilt art form of Jacobean applique was created when Patricia Campbell adapted seventeenth century Jacobean embroidery designs for new applique patterns. Featuring floral and arboreal patterns, the distinctive Jacobean style adds a touch of lightness and vitality to your quilts. The mood of a classic, beautiful era is set with deeply notched leaves, undulating vines, intertwined branches and stems, and imaginative flowers.
Two AQS top-selling volumes were combined to feature the best in this category of applique. Campbell and Ayars share techniques and designs from their Jacobean applique pattern series. This book displays exciting contemporary fabrics and glorious colors while maintaining the gracefulness and charm of the classical needlework.
Quilters will be intrigued with the exciting possibilities offered by the Exotica and Romantica patterns. Full-color patterns and pictures, along with easy instructions, enable quilters to revive a traditional technique with an innovative flare.
