A revised and expanded edition of a long-standing classic, this expansive book is the clearest and most comprehensive handbook for applique, patchwork and quilting available. This seminal reference guide remains the go-to masterwork for crafters, who will find hundreds of patchwork, applique and quilting techniques explained clearly and simply. The techniques range from fundamentals such as cutting fabrics and hand sewing; to advanced special effects and complex techniques like eight-seam joins.

All are explained through more than 1,000 step-by-step illustrations, patterns and templates. The techniques range from the traditional - including Amish quilting patterns and Seven-and-Nine-patch patchwork - to more unusual, like yo-yos. The book also contains glossaries of terms, making this perfect for both beginners and experts.

Over 200,000 copies of the previous edition have been sold worldwide. Praise for The Complete Book of Patchwork, Quilting & Applique:

"Linda Seward's book has been the essential volume on every quilter's bookshelf since its publication in 1987 and has never been better. This new edition updates the original techniques and embraces the current developments of the craft.
