Summary: Sweet Treat
Review: Beautifully illustrated, this is one of the best tutorials on freezer-paper applique I've found. This lovely book includes patterns simple enough for those new to applique, as well as gorgeously intricate designs-irrisistable to even the most experienced quilter. Based on timeless floral motifs admired by the artist in Turkey, these patterns, and accompanying colorful text, bring to mind the bustle of crowded street bazaars, the mystery of smoky Turkish coffeehouses, and the lush comforts of the harem. Take a virtual magic-carpet ride, and treat yourself to some Turkish Delight! Dreamspinner Cheryl

Summary: I'm Inspired!
Review: Linda gives us a peek at the traditions that inspired her (and me!). With clear instructions (and a sense of humor) she guides us through her basic creation process. Her glue-stick applique method, assorted tips and tricks, and numerous pattern options open up new dimensions in the quilting process. And the array of patterns and beautiful photos provide a visual treat! Looking for fresh ideas? Enjoy a "cultural connection"? Like to browse a beautiful book? I recommend Turkish Delights.

Review: This is a great applique book. It has everything, exquisite original designs, and great illustrations and technique photos.
Linda's unit construction was new to me and it's a terrific way to handle layers and all those "little bitty pieces." Turkish Delights is the newest addition to my applique book collection and one certainly not to be missed by any appliquer--beginner to advanced.
