http://www.quiltpuppy.com/about.html
I'm Kay Mackenzie, a quilter, designer, and author in Santa Cruz, California. I caught the quilt pox about 24 years ago when we lived in central Ohio. Appliqué is my favorite kind of quilting project. I mainly use two forms of appliqué: back-basting and needle-turn for hand appliqué, and raw-edge fusible machine appliqué. I also enjoy using Adobe Illustrator, a computer illustration program that is perfect for creating original appliqué designs. Is a publishing imprint. All About Appliqué.
