Hop To It [Paperback] Review

Hop To It [Paperback]I have an extensive collection of quilt books and I was so excited when I got this one in the mail.I stopped what I was doing and sat down to "read" it.It has lots of great tips in it and the illustrations are remarkable.Edyta's step by step photo's will make it easy for both the new and old quilters.The wall hangings and table runners will be my first try and then onto the quilt.The color samples and her rule of five theory was great.I have seen her as an instructor and enjoyed her presentation, this book is just another great extension of her gift of quilting.I highly recommend it.

Deck the Halls: Quilts to Celebrate Christmas (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

Deck the Halls: Quilts to Celebrate Christmas [Paperback]This is a beautiful volume that includes a variety of festive holiday projects. Besides gorgeous wall quilts to celebrate the season, there's a door banner to welcome your holiday guests, a mantel runner to decorate your hearth, toppers and runners to make your table extra special, and an elegant quilted stocking for Santa to fill.

Most of the patterns include appliqué, because as Cheryl put it, "I love the shapes and the graceful curves you can create, as well as the flexibility the technique provides." Of course you can use your favorite form of appliqué, but Cheryl gives you full illustrated instructions for the fusible-web machine method, and has even reversed the patterns for you. That's a real convenience.

Very comprehensive, the book includes a whole section of basic information about fabrics, threads, sewing machines, needles, tools, etc. That's before you even get to the Quiltmaking Basics: rotary cutting, fusible web appliqué, pre-assembly, bias vines, and even paper piecing!
