I have been making landscape quilts for about a year and found this book inspirational in trying a new technique. Because it includes machine quilting, I was inspired to take a class. While I don't feel that I'll ever be the best machine quilter, I know enough to complete the quilting technique in this book. I am anxious to make my first quilt using this book. The idea is on paper and I am ready to implement it.

The pictures in this book are breathtaking and inspirational. Directions are easy to follow and include special "tip" squares on many of the pages. I highly recommend this book.

This book tells how to create your own landscape quilt and also gives you patterns to use as well. I am very pleased with this purchase. Good clear directions are given as well as pictures in color to help with the creative process.

I love this book, the wonderful quilts that were created and the very simple techniques used to achieve such dramatic results.

I was truly inspired by the landscape quilts in this book...the depth that was shown on how to make a forest look up close or distant...

the simple differences that give each quilt its unique perspective.

If you are interested in landscape quilts i found this book to be one of the best and most inspirational yet.

The was the first landscape book I ever owned and is still by far the most used book in my library for landscape quilting projects. Though it expects that your familiar with basic sewing machine operation, unless you've done a little free-motion sewing working on your creations will take some time in the beginning.

Few to none of the projects can actually be copied as you see them... the fabrics used cannot be found to purchase... creative substitution or fabric painting to acheive looks will be needed.. and all the projects are huge... I love the 6' or bigger wall hanging aspect... however it takes an enormous amount of fabric layered and overlayered to acheive the depth and detailing that can be found in the work of these two ladies.

It is well worth the price for anyone thinking of creating any size true to life landscape project, the photos are spectacular...and the hints and suggestions on how to give 3D depth to a piece can't be easier to understand or follow.

I highly recommend this speciality type of quilting book... it doesn't require any set patterns or shapes and since each piece you create is a one of a kind, there can be no errors except for the eye of the artist saying that it exists.

Don't miss the chance to see Natalie Sewell's stunning woodland and floral quilts. She generously shares her applique and quilting techniques so that you can "paint" your own nature scenes with fabrics. Natalie and Nancy (of 'Sewing with Nancy' fame) bring years of artistic and craft experience to this wonderful new book.

I was not a good at sewing when I came across this book. Having read the very easy instructions, I could not believe the beautiful landscape quilts I created, so happy in fact, I e-mailed the authors to thank them for writing this book. It opened a new creative outlet for me, and it will for anyone else with even the most basic sewing skills. In fact, one great quilt artist who creates unbel;ievably beaautiful work, said she has three stitiches she uses--forward, backwards and zig zag. So with basic skills and a basic machine, one can go to whatever heights of creativity they wish. Highly recommend this book as a first landscape quilting guide.

I watched the Sewing With Nancy show that goes with this book. I was hooked and bought the book shortly after. Amazing. Inspiring. Instructional. I definately recommend this book to those who want to create art. And you don't have to know how to draw, or paint and yet you can be artistic with fabric. It takes minimal sewing skills- so don't let that intimidate you. This book falls right in line with Nancy Zieman's normal simple and understandable teaching steps. She takes you from step one all the way through to a finished masterpiece.

I love this book. The technique in fun and easy. Free form cutting and glueing makes this a great way to express your creativity and get great results. I am new to quilting and wanted to do something different. I am just finishing my second piece and can't believe the results! Easy directions to follow and great pictures. You will love this book!

The authors provide photographic examples of each step in creating various landscape quilts, including how to transfer your ideas or photographs onto paper, creating a variety of scenery, and the mechanics of doing so. Directions are clear and detailed.

I find this book to be a user friendly book for creating your own landscape quilt. It has all information you need from supplies, tools, suggested fabrics, ideas for your own theme, or using one of their landscape quilts. There are many pictures depicting the written instructions. I am looking forward to creating my own landscape quilt using this book as my guide.
