Welcome to MaryAppliques.com, the web site for Mary Sorensen, quiltmaker, teacher and designer, and Mary Sorensen Design Source, your source for a wonderful line of appliqué patterns.

The newest addition to our website is Pieceful Garden, combining appliqué and foundation piecing in a wonderful wall quilt you will love to stitch! For this design Mary collaborated with Jan Wildman, a great machine quilter and precision machine piecing expert. You will enjoy the new book format we are introducing with this quilt. We debuted this quilt at Houston Festival and Market in November, and it was a big success.

We also have two new patterns available on the web site: Persian Dawn and Persian Dusk. Each pattern features a lush profusion of flowers and leaves inspired by Persian woodblock prints. Click on Patterns and then New Patterns to see these new designs.

2007 and 2008 bring two great cruises that you will definitely want to consider. In the fall of 2007 Mary will be part of an East Coast/Fall Foliage cruise aboard the Holland America Line’s Veendam sailing from New York to Montreal , September 29 – October 9, 2007. Other teachers for this exciting adventure include Alex Anderson, Joen Wolfrom, Christine Porter, Paula Nadelstern and Laura Nownes. February 5 – 15, 2008, Mary is also cruising the Mexican Riviera on Holland America Line's Ryndam with a stellar line up of teachers including Nancy Pearson, Sue Nickels and Cindy Walter. You can learn more about these terrific cruises, coordinated by Faye Doyle of AAA Travel, by going to www.quiltcruises.com. Plan early; Faye’s cruises have a wonderful reputation and spaces fill fast!
