5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on embellishing quilted art
A wonderful book on embellishing quilted art with plenty of examples of various styles of quilts by well-known artists. Excellent detail as well as overall photos and easy-to-follow instructions. Small projects are easy to finish in a relatively short time. I recommend this book for the serious embellisher as well as the beginning fiberartist.

2.0 out of 5 stars Perused but not yet Used
This is a well thought-out book with many interesting photographs of projects. It is a stimulus to the imagination- and it has both materials lists and instructional data. However, I think that it is more useful to the somewhat accomplished than to the beginner. Despite the information as to the various types of embellishments, both traditional and unusual,
it...

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Work, June 17, 2008
This review is from: Embellished Mini-Quilts: Creative Little Works of Art (Hardcover)
This is a beautiful array of artistic small quilts. Jamie Fingal did an exceptional job of bringing together some very accomplished art quilters. While this type of quilting may not be for everyone, it is what is going to keep us growing and expressing ourselves through this age-old craft. Beautifully photographed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Sparks the imagination, January 23, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have been looking for something a little different, and 'Embellished Mini-Quilts' was it! The artists creativity and imagination were so refreshing. The photography is great, detail can be seen without breaking out a magnifier. I love the idea of making mini-quilts, they are almost instant gratification versus the long process of a full sized quilt. Give it a look, you will see something different every time you do.

it might be a bit intimidating to someone interested in constructing a first-time wall-art hanging...which is what the "mini quilt" referred to, really is.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, May 16, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Embellished Mini-Quilts: Creative Little Works of Art (Hardcover)
This may be the wrong word but to me it seemed very avant-garde. The colors were neither appealing nor inspiring. I returned it as not being useful in my extensive library of needlework/textile references.

By the way, however, Amazon's return policy and procedure are both terrific!

1.0 out of 5 stars disappointed, April 30, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Embellished Mini-Quilts: Creative Little Works of Art (Hardcover)
Never received item. No response from seller. No satisfactory response from amazon. Web site wouldn't let file a claim. Kept taking me back to the start of the process to start over. Since it"s a small amount of money I just gave up. Very unfriendly system. If I never received the item and was unable to file a claim, I would rate it as NO stars. However it seems you have to give it one star to enter the review. It just doesn't make sense to me.
