If you love hand quilting and decorative embellishment, you will find this book simply amazing! The techniques are fresh and exquisitely beautiful and surprisingly easy to do! In addition to the beautiful step-by-step projects, there is a fourteen page gallery of lovely quilts that will give you all the inspiration you'll need to use these techniques on your own quilts. Linda explains the concept of choosing a quilt pattern and deciding how to embellish. Gone are my days of being stuck not knowing how to quilt a top once it is pieced or appliqued! This book is a must have for every hand quilter's library!

I borrowed this book out of the library along with a stack of other quilting and embroidery books. I was simply amazed as this book incorporated everything that I have been wanting to do with my quilting, but just wasn't sure how to get there. I've made enough full-sized quilts to keep us all going for awhile and really wanted to do something more creative. This book shows you how and it is now on my wish list to buy as funds are available. That is really the way to tell how good a book is; if after studying your library copy front to back several times, you still want your own copy.

This book shows you how to use patchwork, applique, beading and embroidery to make delightful quilts. The author also uses a less is more theory, so her quilts have just enough decoration. I've seen some decorated quilts that although lovely remind me of a delicious, rich dessert--no matter how yummy your tummy is still a bit upset after eating it. These quilts aren't that way at all and I look forward to getting my own copy.

I am constructing a crazy quilt vest, and want to use the book to embellish with a fine gold thread over the entire vest. I hope that with this book's instruction I will succeed. Heide Koehn

I became interested in this by seeing the results of a project a friend had quilted and beaded from this book. She explained the technique and why she liked the book as compared to other quilt and bead books. After looking through the projects in her book I decided to buy one for myself and another friend. I especially liked the price of the book!

It took a little longer to get here than I expected, but it arrived in very good condition. I was very happy with my order.
