Here’s what people are saying about The Quilter’s Appliqué Workshop and author Kevin Kosbab...
Interview by the Portland Modern Quilt Guild
Read about my design inspirations, approach to quilting and appliqué, and run-ins with the quilt police in this interview with the Portland Modern Quilt Guild.
Starred review in Library Journal
With its comprehensive coverage of sewn appliqué techniques and its clear, thorough instruction, this is a book that quilters will want in their libraries. The projects are fantastic and the tutorials are excellent but what makes this book shine is Kosbab’s voice, which is wry and funny and encouraging in all the right ways.

As a former library minion myself, I’m honored! See if a library near you has The Quilter’s Appliqué Workshop.

a refreshing approach to appliqué . . . . Kevin’s encouragement and no-nonsense advice take the scariness out of appliqué.

...the book could be the helpful new guidebook for in-shop classes or the spark to create a unique project.

I’ve long admired Diane Gilleland, so her thoughtful review of The Quilter’s Appliqué Workshop on CraftyPod means a lot to me. If you’re wondering if the book is a worthy addition to your craft library, check out the review!
This one's a keeper.
Generation Q Magazine reviews the book on their site today, along with a goofy photo and personal details uncovered by roving reporter Melissa Thompson Maher. She points out that the projects aren’t the only things to like in the book:
It’s classic Kevin. His urbane sense of humor oozes off the pages right from the start.

I used to be afraid of applique because the first time I tried it, I didn’t know the right tools to help me along the way; my poor little leaves were so frayed and my stitches were all over the place! If only I had this book back then to ease my fears. . . . Kevin Kosbab really covers everything in this book, and makes applique very user-friendly and fun to do!
