Explore a richly textured world of trees, foliage and flowers with the Rooted Book by Sue Spargo.
Continuing Sue’s series of small studies, Rooted combines wool appliqué, layered backgrounds and creative embroidery to create a beautiful 20½" x 23½" quilt or wall hanging. The design takes you through a garden of distinctive trees and blooms, from the intense red-orange flowers of the Flowering Quince to the violet-blue flowers and golden berries of the tropical Golden Dewdrop.
Sue provides detailed instructions for constructing and layering the backgrounds, along with helpful tips for adding textural stitching and selecting embroidery stitches to bring each element to life. The project is also suitable for a Block of the Month program.
Patterns for the coordinating Rooted Workbox and Needle Book are included.
