Summertime Sampler

Simple techniques for a spectacular finish

Erica Kaprow turns up the volume on traditional wool appliqué with her brilliant jewel-tone summer sampler. If you can sew three basic hand stitches, you’ll learn just how fun it is to appliqué these whimsical wool designs—at home or on the go! This sampler makes the perfect block-of-the-month class, club project, or personal challenge. Celebrate summer with perfectly portable wool appliqué!

• 12 summer blocks with bright and bold wool appliqué
• Simple, on-the-go sewing, using blanket, running, and stem stitches
• Spectacular finished quilt to remind you of summer all year long

Erica Kaprow enjoys rug hooking, wool dyeing, and quilting. She loves the richness of colored wool against black and makes both cotton and wool quilts because she can't choose between the two—they both seem to fill different creative needs.
