The Applique Society

Home

 

The Applique Society's mission is To Promote, to Teach, and to Encourage the Love of All Types of Applique in Quilting. We work to educate and promote public interest in the world of applique, as well as encourage and inspire creativity. The Applique Society (TAS) and its members want to ensure that the art of applique will continue through the generations.

Applique is a fast-growing interest in the quilting world and inspires a real passion in those interested in this process. Because of this common passion, The Applique Society is an exciting place to learn, express and appreciate the art of applique

When you become a member of TAS you will receive our Newsletter, published every two months. This 24-page publication contains lots of information and all the latest happenings in the applique world. The newsletter always includes at least two patterns, sometimes these are special designs created by TAS members, and given to all through the newsletter. The backbone of the organization is our members. In many states members have joined together to share their love of applique with other members through our Chapters. We invite all our teachers, designers, and authors to take advantage of our TDA Resource List.

Membership is open to all persons who enjoy the art of applique.  As a member of TAS you will be part of a fast growing, well-respected, worldwide organization devoted to the art of applique. 

Enjoy your visit with us and while you are here, please sign our guestbook!

This “Fabulous Fruit” quilt was made by the Demi-TAS of Burien (WA) chapter of The Appliqué Society.  They have one major project each year, and for this quilt they adapted fruit blocks from Kathy Delaney’s book,  “Horn of Plenty For a New Century.”  She has given us written  permission to use the designs. The blocks are set in groups of four with checkerboard sashings to evoke the feeling of fruit baskets. Our  member, Sandy Burroughs, quilted the project on her home sewing machine with very fine thread. This, and the wool batting, allow the delicate stippling to raise and emphasize the fruit. A very fortunate Appliqué Society member will win this quilt in a random drawing. All you need do to  win is be an active member at the time of our drawing in December 2010.
