Shannon Brinkley Blog Tour Kickoff!

Posted by Lynn Merrill on Aug 11th 2014

We’re thrilled to kick off Shannon Brinkley’s blog tour with a special video and a chat with Shannon about her book. Take it away, Shannon!

What I love most about the techniques that I teach in Scrappy Bits Appliqué is that, not only are they fast and easy, but quite versatile– they allow for a lot of flexibility and creative freedom. They are great for those new to quilting or appliqué, but also a lot of fun for experienced quilters, as well. The raw-edge appliqué can be done on a whole cloth quilt, like my Around the World Quilt.

It can also be used to enhance or spruce up a pieced quilt top. I’ve been having fun designing quilts where the piecing and the appliqué complement and interact with one another, like my Water for Elephants Quilt.

To learn more about my book, I hope you’ll enjoy the Scrappy Bits Appliqué book trailer! Shared for the first time, here at C&T Blog.
