This is a fantastic book. Whether you hand or machine embroider your crazy quilts, it has terrific ideas for cq projects and techniques. Get it and you wont be disappointed.

This book shows several different techniques on making crazy quilts. Lots of coloured photos and the instructions are easy to follow. I would have liked the author to have gone into more detail regarding sandwiching and quilting techniques for crazy quilts. Still, this book is worth adding to your collection.

I had already begun crazy quilting by machine before purchasing this book, but frustrated in how to expand on just a plain zigzag machine. I ordered this book and have been closely pouring over it ever since. The encyclopedia of machine stitches was not as full as I anticipated but nevertheless informative. Just carefully looking over the beautifully illustrated projects provides inspiration for many projects to come. Ms. Michler also provides many useful patterns. This book confirmed I was headed in the right direction with machine crazy quilting, and I discovered ways to fulfill some of my own ideas and to do things I thought not possible on a machine. It turned out to be the perfect book for me.

Having made several crazy quilts by hand I was anxious to try machine quilting. This beautifully illustrated book gave me all the information I needed to proceed and inspire. The photographs are exceptional; the author is truly an artist both in photography, gardening and design. The instructions are clear, precise and easy to follow. This book is a welcome addition to my quilt library.

This is well illustrated and includes some beautiful pieces from which to draw inspiration. Well written with concise instructions, including templates you can copy and material lists if you wish to create the projects contained with in the book.

After looking at the reviews I decided to order this book. I wanted something with basic information on how to sew a crazy quilt but also colorful design ideas. I was not disappointed! Everything is explained in detail with patterns for block designs, along with embroidery stitches and (very important) how to finish the edges. It is great. Highly recommended for beginners and people who just want more inspiration.

This book is perfect for learning how to crazy quilt. It is very comprehensive and easy to use. I have been sewing for 30 years and quilting for 15 years. I can now put together a crazy quilt with fabrics from my great grandmother!

Excellent book for any Machine Quilter that likes Crazy Patch. Many great ideas, templates and detailed instructions. Once you have this book, you want to start right away on your first project.
