4.0 out of 5 stars A great addition to your quilting library!, May 29, 2000

This review is from: Playful Patchwork Projects (Hardcover)

If quilting is your passion, if your pastime and relaxation is this timeless craft, you will really enjoy this patchwork project book. Graphics, combined with photos of projects,make you go back and forth through the pages. So many attractive and playful projects, it's really hard to decide on which to start with. The book is divided into three parts: Quilts in different sizes, from wall quilts to pillows. Part two consists of wearables like vests and jumpers for adults and children. Part three brings you 5 Christmas projects. A section with all the appliqué patterns full size makes it easy to jump start with your project. Only one small detail: The wearable patterns have to be enlarged on grid paper. Although they are for fairly simple clothing, I would have loved to have patterns printed full size as an extra bonus to the book. Nevertheless, butterflies, insects, sunflowers and santas make it as I said, a very nice addition to the quilting section in your library or studio.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gotta Have if you want Cute Patchwork, September 23, 2000

I just received this book as a gift and I have to say its one of the best I've seen. Not only does it have several quilting projects but its also filled with several clothing patterns and gift ideas. The projects really does scream of Kari Pearson and her love of bright, cute, fun loving designs. Another thing I like about it is that its a hardback with a nice dust jacket. So many times these days you pay good money for paperbacks. There are also a ton of pictures and full size applique patterns . Its just the best present and I can't wait to do some of these projects!!
