5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring quilts., July 22, 2008

This review is from: Simply Stunning Woven Quilts: 11 Easy Techniques, Great Results (Paperback)

This book is just stunning! I am dying to try some of the woven backgrounds for my next quilted wall hanging. I had ordered the book because it looked so interesting, then I was in my local quilt shop and saw a gorgeous quilt on the wall. When I asked about it I was told there was no pattern, it was an original design based on this book. And the quilter is 15! That gives me hope. My only tiny complaint is there isn't a good explanation on how to determine before you start cutting what the colors of the finished background will look like. This is likely more a failing on my part than the author's, as I'm not particularly good with color. I recommend this book to anyone looking for something different and creative. The author is truly an artist, and just looking through the pictures of her quilts make your fingers itch to start creating!

4.0 out of 5 stars Woven Quilts, not for the novice, August 13, 2008

A fabulous publication but not for the newbie in quilting. The photographs and detail to the work are stunning. Would I buy this book again? YES, because even the novice can pull it off the shelf later and give it a go when he/she has had a bit more experience in quilting.

Try incorporating small samples in your work or making small pieces to work into your creations until youre ready for the big picture.

I received this book yesterday evening when I got home. The first thing I always do is go through the book and look at the pictures to see if anything catches my eye. Is there anything that I want to make.

The pictures in the book are wonderful, stunning! I would like to make each one of the quilts.

Today I sat down to read the instructions. The first instructions are easy to understand and detailed.

Anna starts out with a simply project. As you go through the book, the projects become, in my opinion, more of a challenge. But the projects are wonderful and I certainly will give them a try. I'm not a novice quilter, but I'm not a master by any means.

There is semi-circle weaving, circle curvy weaving, fuzzy weaving, and partly curvy weaving. Great projects.

At the back of the book are more basic instructions and a pull out section of patterns. I have not taken the pattern section out so I'm not certain what it contains.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves beautiful quilts no matter if they are a novice or a person who wants a challenge. I can't see where they would be disappointed.
