1.0 out of 5 stars paper embellished art quilts, April 21, 2004

This review is from: Fast, Fun & Easy Scrapbook Quilts: Create a Keepsake for Every Memory (Paperback)

I don't know what I was thinking when I ordered this title. I thought it would include fabric stamping not just paper stamping. This is for scrapbookers more than quilters. The quilts are made by embellishing with paper that has been rubber stamped and objects glued onto the project. Not washable and definately not for me. Doesn't seem very durable and falls into art quilt catagory. I was interesting in learning more about embellishing quilts but paper and glued objects does not do much for me. I am sure it would appeal more to the scrapbooker or fiber artists more than a more traditional quilter who enjoys fabric and washable quilts.

This is an excellent book for anyone looking for some fantastic inspiration. Perfect for quilters, rubber stampers, & scrapbookers alike. This wonderful book bridges the gap between all these artforms, and pushes you to dive enthusiastically into the fabulous world of mixed media.

Beginners, never fear as the author gives detailed instructions & fabulous tips ranging from fabric selection to cutting & assembling. You'll have help every step of the way.

This book is also full of many beautiful examples of different types of quilts, from various contributors, so you can see a variety of ideas and applications for quilted assemblage.

I would highly reccomend this book for anyone who is interested in quilting, rubber stamping and/or scrapbooking. It will definitely help take your art to the next level.

Nice book. Worth the money. Buy any book that lets you look inside. DON'T if they don't let you look inside. It's not fair of them to not let you look inside.
