A name, and a cover!
Filed Under Books, The road to Book 3
The new book that I’m working on for That Patchwork Place now has an official name! Not only that, it has a cover!
Meet Scrap-Appliqué Playground.
This is something different for me. My previous two with TPP were block books. This one is more of a concept, method, and project book. It’s also different because the fabrics and the projects are rather fresh and modern compared to my usual look. In fact I heard that when the projects were spread out on the table for the committee, they said, “Kay Mackenzie sent these…???” That’s funny. Different again in that all of the work is done by machine. Not bad for a girl who started out doing everything by hand! I enjoyed working differently a whole bunch.
Look for Scrap-Appliqué Playground in April 2012. I’ll be hosting a Book-A-Round, so stay tuned!
Until next time,
Kay

This looks like another winner, Kay. You donated some samples of this wonderful technique to Allstar Quilters for Kids and they are finding their way into quilts for needy children. Thanks for your continued support of our outreach work.
I look forward to the book being released in April!!
Oh how exciting for you. Congratulations. I LOVE the picture on the cover. Awesome pic.
Congratulations, Kay! Another beautiful book full of your wonderful ideas! The cover made me smile. Looking forward to April 2012;)
My goodness! Applique and scraps – one of my two favorite things in quilting in one book. I’m first in line to buy this. It looks so fun – congrats, Kay.
How fun is that! I just love the cover. Can’t wait for the book around.
Congratulations!looks fun!
Looks fantastic…can’t wait until you reveal more.
Well, this one’s a slam dunk! Can’t wait. I’m a “by hand” girl too, but I won’t live long enough to make all the applique quilts that are on my wish list by hand. Looking forward to getting your tips for machine work.
