Points of View: Landscape Quilts to Stitch and Embellish (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

Points of View: Landscape Quilts to Stitch and Embellish [Paperback]My love of fabric and landscapes can be satisfied with POINTS OF VIEW.This wonderful book walks you through the steps of how to create landscapes using fabrics in your stash.

The book begins with an explanation of how to look at fabric for things other than what is printed on it.For example, a fabric that has colorful fish on it can be cut so it looks like a wheat field on a rolling hill.You just need a viewfinder which is easy to make and the instructions for making and using it are included.A basic supply list allows you to have on hand all the things you need to make a landscape.And the first pattern starts with a basic landscape.

A materials list and instructions on how to create the landscape are well written with good graphics to show you what is explained.A template is included.Appliqué instructions --- needle turn, machine and fusible---are all covered.Technique Tips are found in colorful boxes throughout the book.

A section on how to color fabric, one on stitchery and one on mounting and framing your work are part of POINTS OF VIEW.The nine projects are all various sizes of wall hangings but you certainly could use one of them as a central panel and turn them into quilts.The book provides a great way to take one of your landscape photos and turn it into a fabric wall hanging.What a way to share your photos with family and friends.
