Cutting Garden Quilts: Fabulous Fusible Flowers (That Patchwork Place) Review

Cutting Garden Quilts: Fabulous Fusible Flowers (That Patchwork Place)

(More customer reviews)
I notice that fusible web is being used more and more to make quilts. CUTTING GARDEN QUILTS is no exception. This book makes beautiful flower quilts using fusible web. They are extremely detailed and use thread painting to detail the flowers even further.
Melinda describes her working area and I can only wish I had something similar. A 6' x 4" cutting table is a dream of mine, right down to the 15 drawers to keep things organized and the ability to raise and lower the sewing tables. She also describes what tools/supplies you will need She is very detailed about how to get from a photograph to a quilt with the descriptions of making an outline drawing, enlarging it and choosing colors for the fabric. She includes information on painting with thread to make your quilts pop.
There are five quilts in the book, complete with the outline drawings ready for you to enlarge. Each project has a descriptive paragraph about the quilt subject. Then there is a materials list, assembling instructions, thread detail instructions and how to finish the quilt. A fabric key is also given which shows which color fabric and how much of that fabric is needed.
These are quilts that will take you more than a weekend to complete but will be a beautiful wall hanging when done.

Twice Quilted: Continuous-Line Quilting Designs (Little Box Of...) Review

I have done simple machine quilting such as stitch in the ditch and my own free motion quilting but I have never followed a pattern as I thought it would be too hard. Twice Quilted show me I was wrong and gives me the tools I need to learn to follow a pattern.
There is a book that takes you through the process and 40 patterns. The book explains what supplies and equipment you will need, how to modify the patterns so you can create your own designs and how to stitch the designs. There are tips on free-motion quilting and lots of graphics for us visual minded quilters!
Grab some tracing paper or tear away stabilizer, a marking pen and your quilt top and have a ball. Don't let "tradition" hold you back. Do your own thing and make your quilt really yours!

Quilt it once and it's great---quilt it twice and it's simply grand! Quilt two interlacing motifs in different colors and give a stunning finish to any project. Continuous-line designs make it easy---just follow the lines. * Twenty sets of patterns---40 designs in all---include classic and themed motifs, such as poinsettias and pine needles for Christmas * Enclosed booklet includes complete instructions on how to trace, transfer, and sew designs * Patterns are great for quilting by hand or machine
