5.0 out of 5 stars Simplifies dimensional applique with beautiful results!, February 28, 2000

I have really enjoyed working through four of the blocks in this book. It has made dimensional applique come alive for me. The instructions are clear and the patterns are all delightful! It is a book worth owning, particularly if you are wanting to clarify some of the techniques used in Elly Sienkiewicz's books.

The blocks are beautiful. I am a new quilter and found this book so easy to understand. It gave clear and easy directions for the techniques used for each flower, leaf & stem. As well as the basic stitches. I have now completed my fourth block. I love it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Applique with a twist of dimension....., September 15, 2003

By	C. A. Mcpherson "mcpherson" (Bellbrook, Oh United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book would appeal to a new quilter as well as an experienced quilter. Step by step directions are given in order to get the beginner ready to applique. The slightly experienced quilter may have never begun the dimensional aspect of applique, so this book would appeal to that person. Very much similar to any other Baltimore Album book, but nicely done.
