By Deborah Burger

According to
Deb Burger, she lives in a “whimsical” world where she shares inspiration from
many media. You’ll find finished artwork, plans, recipes and patterns: all
products of her imagination and delight in living. She is active in the online community, Ravelry, as Cerdeb and blogs at Dragonfly Cottage Design.
That same whimsy is certainly evident
throughout her new book, Crochet Appliques’. With her patterns, she shows how
to make 100 crochet patches arranged in sections, including:
·
Celebrate!
·
On
the Farm
·
Sea
and Shore
·
Le
Jardin
·
Into
the Wild
Deb asks her
readers, “Why leave something plain when you can add a finishing touch to make
it personal and meaningful?” Inside, you’ll find 150 color photos of crocheted appliques
skillfully photographed, and written instructions accompanied by stitch
diagrams.
The book is
hardcover with a “wire-o” binding that makes it very convenient to use table-side or on your lap as you crochet. All the examples in the book are crocheted in
either Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece or Cotton Fine using an F (3.75 mm hook). Helpful
tips are included in the Technical Support section and there is a guide for the
use of symbol crochet as well.
I know you
will find the same delight that I did when you use this book as a handy
reference that inspires you to add fabulous and fun crocheted touches to most
anything that crosses your path!
Available at
Creative Publishing. Crochet Appliques' retails for $24.99.
