If you love Christmas and love to applique, this book will definitely have something for you. With detailed, clear color photographs and patterns that have registration marks for precise applique placement, there are whimsical, cute designs with Santa and his toys and fun and funky trees, or more traditional images with poinsettias and Old St. Nick. The section on applique is invaluable, detailing the Piece O Cake way using overlays and vinyl to get accurate placement, and with tips and instructions for special techniques such as circles and reverse applique. The only issue I had with this book is that some of the patterns need to be enlarged. Know that before you get involved in a project that you just *have* to get started on!
