Lots more items than quilts

This book should be entitled "Weekend quilts and Crafts for those who LOVE Appliqué". Most of the projects have some sort of addition in the form of appliqué or embroidery. There are 65 projects from 12 different designers. I didn't count the list as the content page is in paragraph form rather than a table listing. The general instructions are only 2 pages long so you best know how to quilt/appliqué/sew before you start. Each project has a colored photo of the finished object, a materials list set off in a colored box and cutting and assembly instructions. There are not a lot of graphics in the how-to steps. Any templates used are included at 100% so no copying needed. Some of the projects are wall hangings, quilts, pillows, bags, tablecloths, runners, napkins journal covers, photo frames and a footstool. There are more than what I listed. If you are looking for a book with lots of different projects that need appliqué/embroidery to complete, this is a good purchase.
