Tirico (Gorgeous Wool Appliqué) combines wool appliqué with Baltimore Album motifs in this collection of small projects, which include pillows, rugs, and sewing accessories. The thickness of the felted wool, combined with clever layering, adds dimension to the pieces, and the finished appliqué is embellished with a variety of embroidery stitches. Though Tirico provides ample instruction via a chapter on techniques and a few of the projects are beginner-friendly, most require confidence in both appliqué and embroidery. A pull-out sheet featuring full-size patterns for use as placement guides is included, as are traceable templates for the pattern pieces with each project.
VERDICT Baltimore Album designs are iconic in the quilting world, and Tirico's interpretation of these classic arrangements will wow appliqué fans.
