Quilters will be intrigued with the exciting possibilities offered by the Exotica and Romantica patterns. Full color patterns and pictures, along with easy instructions, enable quilters to revive a traditional technique with an innovative flare. AUTHORBIO: Patricia B. Campbell, born and reared in Michigan, makes her home in Dallas, Texas. An award-winning applique artist, she is well-known as an exciting speaker and an inspiring instructor. She has adapted seventeenth and eighteenth century Jacobean designs from embroidery to fabric and has created a line of patterns for sale. She has taught workshops from Maine to South Africa. AUTHORBIO: A native of Delaware, Mimi Ayars, Ph.D., calls herself a "hardy Texas transplant". She caught the spirit of quilting in the 1976 revival while living in the Chicago area, once belonging to five guilds concurrently. Her first quilt, STARS AND STRIPES, was selected for a show of bicentennial quilts at the Museum of the American Quilter's Society in 1991. REVIEW: A striking addition to any applique library. Patterns presented with full-color examples are wonderful.
