Pop-In Applique Source Books

 

Variations of the Ladies' Dream or Pomegranate

I've had a pleasant early winter here working on my Photoshop skills by digitally drawing applique designs and compiling the drawings into booklets---source books for applique design.

A gallery of wreath formats

A few months ago I was working on drawing patterns for the 2025 applique block of the month at my CivilWarQuilts blog Liberty's Birds and I said to myself. "Why am I drawing the same leaf over and over again? What if I made a file of the leaves found in old applique quilts.... And the birds...."

I got better at drawing and coloring.

And the roses---and the tulips.....and the pomegranates... And then I could just pop them into the patterns.  What if...

And then I thought you might like to have a file of roses and tulips and leaves you could use to design traditional applique.

With Galleries of traditional arrangements

And Image Files of the design units.

I'll show you how I use these in the next post.
