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