I love floral applique books and I like art nouveau, so I was hoping to see
the book you were looking for myself. Can you describe the cover in more
detail?

Does it have to be that book specifically? Or would art nouveau floral
designs for applique be any help?

I have appliqued designs from both of these books.

Marissa, I notice that your subject leaves out a 'p' in appliqué . . . and
am just wondering if your searching problem just might be hampered because
of that. I hope that doesn't come across as critical; it's just that my eyes
automatically seek out typing / spelling errors.
If you can not find the specific book you hope for, there are some
lovely ones we can recommend. Are you wanting hand or machine? folded? Very
simple? extremely detailed and intricate?
Would love to help you. Polly

no, it is none of those... though some of those patterns look great! I
got an art nouveau xstitch book from the library but they are not
exactly what I was looking for... another book I got from art nouveau
designs got me much more inspired and might be enough...

thanks polly, that might have been be part of the problem... but I still
cannot find the one I am thinking about! should have shelled out the 18
dollars when I had it in my hands!

Maybe you don't have to find it in the US. I've ordered a few books that
were "furrin" and the media mail charges were not terrible. As our friends
here say, I truly do think they stuff our mail from across the water in
bottles and shove them off a cliff. Delivery is not fast but it is not
always expensive. Sometimes. You could ask. Polly

The Cotton Patch is one of our biggest quilt shops - its where I got
all my basting gun kit from. Very reputable. But obviously cheaper if
you can find it within US.

You could order it from them (as in the authors) directly...

Their shop is in New York.
