As a lover of small projects to keep my hands busy, and a lover of fabric, beads, glitter, markers, crayons, sparkling threads, well, you get the picture, this is one of the best books I have come across, and believe me I have been looking. The author takes you from the begining of her process to the wonderfully colored projects, and along the way encourages you to use all the wonderful fabrics in your stash. The instructions and process are easy to follow, and as I always say, if you've ever sewn or beaded anything before, all you need is the inspiration and the rest is easy.

The quilts in this book are stunning. The book is organized by project and the instructions are easy to understand. Like the author's earlier book, "Just Can't Cut It", it really explains how to showcase beautiful fabric and make it sparkle. The book shows various types of applique, decorative stitching, beading and applying crystals. I found this book to be very inspiring and recommend it to anyone who wants to add some glitz to their art quilts.

I keep this book on top of my pile of books because just looking at it gets me inspired to get busy and make art quilts with lots of bling. It's one of my favorite books. The directions are easy to understand and the photo's are wonderful. You can make your own quilts to be like the authors, or use the idea's in the book to do your own thing.I would love to see the author's quilts in person!

Amazing book. The visuals are beautiful and very instructive. Directions concise and easy to follow. I can't wait to get started.

I WAS DRAWN TO THE PHOTO ON THE COVER AND THE TITLE. UNFORTUNATELY I FOUND THIS BOOK VERY DISAPPOINTING FROM ANY ASPECT - DESIGNS, PATTERNS, COLORS, FABRICS. SURELY I DID NOT FIND ANY GLITZ ,GLAMOUR OR BEAUTY.
