Soar to new applique heights on the wings of this amazing artist! *Following the outstanding success of her first album book, Bea has created a sequel filled with exquisite bird and flower patterns. *Familiar images unite in 35 applique blocks. Charming combinations include a cardinal sitting on a pine bough, an eastern bluebird on a holly branch, a black-capped chickadee with sunflowers, and a yellow warbler in a dogwood tree. *The best-known and most easily recognized backyard birds from across the country are showcased with Audobon-style quality. Fascinating information about each bird accompanies the patterns. *Each block features a colorful photograph, full-sized pattern, and tips for construction, fabric selection, and embroidered details. *BONUS PATTERN: A trumpet vine border with three different little hummingbirds adds the finishing touch to any quilt. AUTHORBIO: Before Bea started quilting in the mid 1980s, she was not familiar with quilting in any form. However, she had a background in home economics. She also studied weaving and oil and watercolor painting, and she earned a certificate from the Sogetsu School of flower arranging. After Bea started quilting, and especially doing applique, she discovered how the painting and flower-arranging media were interchangeable with quilting designs in color and form. REVIEW: Provides a focus on over thirty applique blocks filled with beautiful flower and bird patterns, gathered from American bird observations. Each block includes a colorful photo, full-sized pattern, and instrucions on how to duplicate the achievement.

About the Author
Before Bea started quilting in the mid 1980s, she was not familiar with quilting in any form. However, she had a background in home economics, and with three daughters, she became an experienced seamstress. She also studied weaving and oil and watercolor painting, and she earned a certificate from the Sogetsu School of flower arranging. After Bea started quilting, and especially doing applique, she discovered how the painting and flower-arranging media were interchangeable with quilting designs in color and form. Since the mid-1990s, she has concentrated on her own designs of flowers, both cultivated and wild, and has taught and lectured extensively for quilt guilds in Kansas and Missouri.

The birds in this book are not always "right"---I think it is the eye placement and the patterns are not ultradetailed. The flowers are better and has some nice quilting patterns.Still a nice book to have.

I bought this book as a gift, to a quilter. She is very impressed with this book and can't wait to start making another quilt.There is a lot of detail work with these patterns and some embroidery as well.
