Truffle Duffel Applique, Embroidery, and Quilt Pattern Book by Sue Spargo of Folk Art Quilts

Create and hang this spectacular quilt designed by Sue Spargo using wool appliqué, layering and embroidery!

Mushrooms are fascinating organisms deeply ingrained in our subconscious, with their mycelium extending into folklore, medicine, and cuisine. The kingdom of fungi is vast and varied, with some spores being so small they aren’t visible under a microscope. The largest organism on Earth is a mushroom, whose mycelium spans over 2,200 acres in eastern Oregon.

Truffle Duffel explores their diverse forms and vast textures by expertly layering hand dyed wools, velvets, and cotton fabrics. Extensive background appliqué and embroidery creates a natural woodland where surprises that lurk and shoot through the forest floor suddenly appear through stitchery. In addition to Truffle Duffel Quilt Patterns, the book includes two bonus projects: Tiger Moth Workbox and Toadstool Pinny.

Sue’s detailed instructions plus clear pattern and stitch diagrams provide the opportunity to learn new techniques such as wool appliqué, layering, cotton appliqué, embroidery, dimensional embroidery, and texture creation.

Refer to Sue’s Creative Stitching book (sold separately) for embroidery stitch instruction.
