Most of the projects in this book are decorated with appliqué embellished with simple embroidery stitches. Appliqué is an easy technique using fusible webbing, but I love to be creative, and I just can’t help adding those special little touches with extra hand-worked embroidery stitches and the addition of the occasional button or charm.
