4.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring Color Use, Less than Inspiring Design, January 16, 2002

This review is from: Freddy's House (Paperback)

Being a creative quilter who shys away from traditional colors and patterns, I was drawn to Freddy's book. Her use of color is bold and brave, but her color theory and design skills leave a bit too be desired. The book isn't intended to be a how-to book, but rather an inspiration to quilters and that is it's success. If you are a quilter trying to break out of your calico mold then this is the book for you. If how-to books are what you seek then you might want to look elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars Freddys House, December 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Freddy's House (Paperback)

The book was a disappointment. I was expecting lots of patterns and information, which was very little, 4 projects only. It really is a book about her house and reaction to it, how she has found herself etc. It is very colorful, beautiful paper and I think it was very unusual, which alot of people will love, it might make a great coffee table book, but for someone who was expecting more quilting information, for the price of a years subscribtion to the best quilting magazine, I was a little disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Love the COLORS! Where's the patterns?, January 1, 2000

By 

"spowers58" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Freddy's House (Paperback)

I was drawn to the bold and daring use of colors that Freddy uses in all her quilts. It was fun to see how she organized and freely uses color in her home decorating. But I was disappointed when I discovered only four patterns and they weren't very user friendly. Lot's of the other interesting quilts that were featured had no patterns to go along with them. However it did inspire me to begin collecting wild, exciting prints and black and white fabric. Thanks Freddy for sharing your House!
