‘Tis The Autumn Season
Jeanne Large and Shelley Wicks
Martingale; $24.99

In this follow-up to their top-selling ‘Tis the Season, Jeanne Large and Shelley Wicks head into autumn with a collection of 12 projects. The owners of The Quilt Patch in Saskatchewan, Canada, are know for their “urban country” look that features chunky appliqué, easy piecing and earth tones. Instructions are included for a variety of appliqué techniques, including fusible-web and fusible-interfacing appliqué. Since the designers love to use hand-dyed felted wools in their work, they offer tips for working with wools. The book also includes a bonus online pattern. I was taken by the large thistle flowers in their “Reunion” quilt and loved the use of rick-rack in several of the quilts. And, since most quilters I know also enjoy a culinary treat or two, Jeanne and Shelley have included a few recipes to enjoy.
