This review is from: Rag Wool Applique: Easy to Sew, Use Any Sewing Machine, Quilts, Home Decor, and Clothing with CDROM (Paperback)

I actually bought this book for my sister-in-law who loves to work with wool. She absolutely loved it and has made several of the items in the book. I might borrow it from her sometime and try my hand at sewing, appliquing and quilting with wool. I did look at the book before giving it to my sister-in-law and I liked almost every single pattern in this book, so I might go ahead and by it for myself.
