      Dedication

      For my husband, who brought me to the United States and has been my partner in building our new journey together. For my three C’s—Caylin, Chloe, and Claire. You make me proud every day.

      Acknowledgments

      I am very grateful to all the following:

      Amy Barrett-Daffin and Roxane Cerda, who always listen to my ideas and support my books from the beginning to the end. Karla Menaugh for helping me and making the book easy to read.

      All my Riley Blake Designs family, Erin Sampson and Alex Veronelli from Aurifil threads, Taylored Expressions, LECIEN (COSMO Embroidery Floss), Alice from Alice Caroline fabrics, Lindsey Grand from The Warm Company, Sara SJ Kim from Dailylike Canada, Annie Unrein from ByAnnie, Yvonne Busdeker from OLFA Craft

      North America, and whaus.co.kr. I truly appreciate you for trusting me and supporting me without question.

      My little Claire, who always plays around me, keeps me company, and loves everything Mom makes. And to my Chloe and Caylin, who share the most honest feedback that helps me try another and another.

      My husband, Alex, for being my best pal.

      Introduction

      Drawing and designing are my favorite things to do, but my happiest moments are when I see my pencil drawings given new life as wall art in my kitchen corner, a pouch my friend uses every day, or a message board where my little girl sneakily puts her note for Mama.

      I wrote two books about sewing illustrations, a technique that combines bits of appliqué with machine stitching. I found many sewists hesitate to use the sewing machine for embroidery, and hand embroidery has irresistible charm, of course. For me, wool felt was the perfect medium to transfer my love of raw-edge appliqué onto fabrics. Without any sketch, I cut a shape of a fried egg and stitched it onto fabric scraps. Then strawberry jam, a dog, two dogs … On each day, I was full of new ideas, and my wool-felt appliqué pile started to grow!

      I had such a fun and productive winter while I was designing the appliqué patterns for this book. The best part of hand stitching is that you can be next your family watching television or listening to them play while your hands are busy with your needlework. With a basket of embroidery floss and wool felt scraps, you can draw anything, anywhere, until you get tired of stitching. But that didn’t happen to me. I enjoyed stitching new designs on the various scraps of solid fabrics each day and the next day!

      This book shows you six projects that you can make with your appliqué designs. In addition, I have included many more wool appliqué / embroidery patterns that you can adapt and create into new projects. If you love these ideas and want to make them with your quilting stash instead of wool felt, that works, too. See Gallery of Project Ideas and Stitches and Patterns.

      I hope to share my joy with
