5.0 out of 5 stars
this book sends me into rhapsody,
By Susan D. Delaney, MD, MS, author (Plano, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jacobean Rhapsodies: Composing with 28 Applique Designs (Paperback)
This book is as perfect as a quilt book gets. Just holding it in my hands sends me into a blissful altered state. The quilts and the designs themselves are inspired. The color combinations in the quilt blocks are an entire class in color theory. The directions are helpful and easy to follow. The text is filled with useful and fascinating information about this all-American interpretation of Jacobean design. Buy this book!

FREE SPIRITED APPLIQUE! BEAUTIFUL AND EASY!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jacobean Rhapsodies: Composing with 28 Applique Designs (Paperback)
This book just lifted my spirits when I browsed the designs! Better than chocolate, the designs offer a flexibility of creativity for the new quilter/appliquer. Explicit and easy directions are given for mixing designs and patterns to make wall quilts or bed quilts. The flowers, vines and berries are appliqued with exhuberant brightly patterned colored fabrics, not giving heed to consistent perfection, but instead to freedom of creativity with constant attention to FLOW. Definitely different than standard boxed-in blocked quilts, this book should inspire any quilter to break out and have fun creating. Designs are spin-offs of the ancient English art of Jacobean embroidery, which was used in clothing, bed covererings, cushions, etc. The patterns (28 included) are actual size printed on glossy paper. The gallery of pictures is a class act. No boundaries!!!!

Great Pictures and Even Better Designs!,

This review is from: Jacobean Rhapsodies: Composing with 28 Applique Designs (Paperback)
I am SO glad I've added this to my library! The designs are very creative and inspiring. If you like to hand applique and are looking for something different from the usual patterns, give this a try! There are a great number of blocks and if you are creative enough you could mix and match some of the designs. All of the pictures in the book are in color and very up close for showing great detail. The last half of the book is all of the designs. I can't wait to try them out!
