An excellent, informative book for the quilter with ideas and inspiration for hand applique and trying quilting techniques outside ones comfort zone. Well illustrated. Author has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the quilting arena. Her works go beyond the basics to be described as art.

This book is a wow. It has so many ideas for hand quilters. It lets you go all out, even if you are not that great at applique. It give you the courage to make something wonderful. The pictures are great and the patters included are a great help.

I bought this because I was taking a class in Sisters Oregon. The class was really fun and the book is as well. It would make a great coffee table book because of the pictures of Central Oregon and Camp Sherman. I am taking another class this summer. Yea!!!

I love this book, and have all ready started one of the projects. My only criticism is that there are no directions for doing the applique using fusible web, only hand sewing. I can figure it out on my own, but fusible web directions would be nice for a beginner. There are a lot of people who due to carpal tunnel syndrome or whatever cannot hand sew. All in all though it is a book that will always be a part of my library.
