A Slice of Christmas from Piece O'Cake Designs [Paperback] Review

This is a beautiful book about appliqueing and their designs for Christmas.They cover everything from quilts, wall hangings to table runners, stockings and Christmas tree rounds.You can mix and match the ideas here and make everything you need for Christmas.
The nice parts are that the directions are complete for both hand piecing and machine (called fusible in the book) sewing & that most of the designs require small amounts (1/2 yard; 5/8 yard there) of fabric so if you have leftovers you can find places to use them here.Also nice is the ability to copy the designs for your own use.A nice present in itself.
The downside?You should be near a copier and have sharp scissors.
All in all, a great way to get into the Christmas spirit.It's a real joy to view and look at.I wish some of the designs were shown bigger in colour but it's a minor quibble.

It's these elements which make BIRDS N ROSES by needlecraft expert Margaret Docherty an exceptional pick for any experienced quilter who likes to use applique as more of a central theme than a side embellishment: Personal, professional, and community library libraries simply must have this one if their needlecraft reference collections are to be considered comprehensive or complete.

Product Description:
Charming bird designs were everywhere in the late 1800s and early 1900s. They graced linens, china, fabric, jewelry, greeting cards, feed sacks, and more, and inevitably found their way into embroidery kits and quilt patterns, too. From the front parlor, to the bedroom, to the kitchen, bird designs were indicative of the era. Susan McKelvey's much-loved collection of antique bird design items inspired the designs in 'Fancy Feathered Friends for Quilters.' Her aviary of exquisite birds, from the whimsical to the realistic, will enchant quilters of every skill level. Two dozen patterns feature popular bluebirds, purple martins, doves, and swallows, with blocks ranging in style from folk-art to Baltimore Album. Birds swoop in flight, flutter over branches, stand in classic profile, and snuggle together as lovebirds. Susan adds vines, leaves, flowers, branches, vases, and fruits to showcase each bird perfectly. To add to their versatility, patterns can be appliqued, embroidered, or painted. Mix and match elements to create your own unique designs. An extensive gallery of quilts beautifully showcases the designs, providing inspiration and options. Susan shares her expertise on how to use ink pens to create shading and outline details. A section on color shows how to use hue, value, and intensity to advantage. AUTHORBIO: Susan McKelvey caught the quilting bug in 1977 in a quilting class in Greensboro, North Carolina. Although quilting was not a part of her family heritage, it has become a part of her children's lives - they grew up under her design and dewing tables. In 1984, Susan wrote her first quilt book, "Color for Quilters", and many have followed. Through her company, Wallflower Designs, she has produced many patterns and tools for quilters. REVIEW: This wonderful book is crammed full of information, techniques and illustrations.

Aunt Millie's Garden: 12 Flowering Blocks from Piece O' Cake Designs [Paperback] Review

I am a huge Piece O' Cake fan, and have purchased just about every book and pattern they have published. I use their book "The New Applique Sampler" when I teach needleturn applique, because it includes fantastic photos and detailed instructions for those learning to applique. I think it is the best technique book out there on needleturn applique.

"Aunt Millie's Garden" is the latest spectacular quilt by Piece O' Cake's Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins. It is twelve symmetrical flower designs (that finish to 14" square) done in bright colors on red backgrounds, with more flower designs in the borders.

This is not a book in the traditional sense. It is an envelope-style sleeve that holds a 16-page booklet with excellent instructions (many from the "New Applique Sampler" book) that describes and shows in photos how to prepare, applique and finish the quilt. There are also six separate pattern sheets (printed on both sides) with full-sized diagrams for each block. A separate sheet has the two border patterns. I really like this presentation, because it allows you to work from the patterns without struggling with a bound book.

While the block designs are shown individually in the first half there's a number of projects in the second half. I think these would work for any age - young, old and everything in between.

Beautiful Blooms: Quilts and Cushions to Applique (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

This is definitely the book for me.I DON'T have a green thumb but I do appliqué.I wish I had found this book last fall rather than now going into summer but the book will still be there come fall.Appliqué is something I love to do in front of the fireplace on a cool/cold night.

The first 25 pages are all about appliqué hot-to's and quilting basics along with choosing colors and fabrics.It is a chapter that very thoroughly covers all these points.

Then there are 10 different flowers to "grow" under your needle.Pillows and wall hangings make up the 10 patterns.While no quilts are shown, there is no reason you couldn't turn the patterns into quilts.

Each project begins with a paragraph about the flower and the finished size of the project.A materials and cutting list follow this.Simple construction directions are given with finishing suggestions.All templates are included.The more complex patterns come with color keys as well.

Grab some scrap fabric (this book will give you a way to use up those scraps you just can't part with), some template plastic, your ruler and cutting mat and this book.When you are done, you will have a "green thumb" to show for it!

Simple Comforts: 12 Cozy Lap Quilts [Paperback] Review

Kim Diehl presents us with one more fine book in her "Simple" series.I already own "Simple Seasons", so I snapped up the new "Simple Comforts" as soon as I saw it.

These "Simple" books tend toward traditional patterns done in strong colorations with just the right mix of color and contrast, and not TOO much applique.Ms. Diehl's style also lends itself very well to scrappyness, and "Simple Comforts" is a wonderful resource to inspire you to finally deal with those scraps.

The Table of Contents page provides thumbnail photos of each of the 12 quilt patterns, which is a most helpful editing technique that I wish all publishers would utilize.You instantly see the full range Diehl's colorful interpretation of traditional patterns.

Of course, you can make these quilts using really modern/mod fabrics, and there is one particular quilt - "Checkerberry Bliss" - that is a great exercise in contrast in black and light greens.My favorite is "Twilight Hopscotch", a really lovely star/chain variation in tone-on-tone greens on neutral; I am thinking of making this one first to use as a shower curtain.

Scattered throughout the book are Diehl's "Pin Points", which are helpful insets which offer handy technique tips.Also worth noting: each pattern includes directional arrows for "proper" seam pressing, which I rely on to help me best-match pieced seams.

I look forward to more "Simple" books from Kim Diehl; whether this is your first of her books or not, I think this one will inspire those of us who prefer colorful yet still largely traditional patterns."Simply" a winner!!

Eleven patterns are included for every level of quilter, from beginner to advanced, using piecing and applique techniques. AUTHORBIO: Bonnie's mother taught her to sew as a child.

Simple Traditions: 14 Quilts to Warm Your Home (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

Many books of quilt patterns have one particular "mood," and the suitability of the book for your needs depends less on the quality of instruction than on the need of the reader. Kim Diehl's Simple Traditions is a good example. If you like to sew quilts with a lot of applique, in traditional old-fashioned patterns, using primarily scraps -- then you're going to *love* her book. If not... well, this one isn't for you.

I'm in the latter camp, mostly, but the book earns its five stars because it fulfills its promise extremely well.

Let me describe what you get, so that you can make a decision for yourself.

Only three of the fourteen quilts in the book are bed quilts. Most are much smaller: lap quilts and wall quilts. Every one of the quilts uses scraps, often in a multitude of fabrics (which, in my opinion, makes this an unsuitable book for a rank beginner; you simply won't have enough of a stash yet). For instance, one lap quilt uses 2 yards of cranberry, 1 1/8 yards of tan print, then 56 squares, 6.5"x6.5" of assorted homespun plaids and stripes. Oh, and "assorted green plaid scraps for stem and leaf appliques." She doesn't give options for those of us who like the design but would be happy to sew the quilt in, say, cranberry, tan, and *one* homespun plaid.

The quilts are definitely pretty, though! The book cover is an accurate clue to the contents: lots of flowers and baskets in applique, and designs appropriate for small "vintage" prints. Any of them would be suitable for a home decorated in a "country" or traditional style. My home is primarily Mission Style (Arts & Crafts), which may be why few of these make me itch to pull out the rotary cutter. However, I do have my eye on a simple "harvest heart wall quilt" that appears to be a weekend project that'd work for my first stab at applique. (I hope it's the applique being stabbed and not my sewing fingers.)

Diehl's instructions are both easy to understand and encouraging They need to be, because many of these designs are very busy! Beautiful, but busy. She doesn't skimp on teaching how to do applique, either; I think I'll be able to figure it out. Plus, Diehl includes advice about how to quilt the quilt; you aren't left with that vague suggestion, "Quilt as desired."

Overall, Diehl does an excellent job at delivering on the promise of "simple traditions." If you like scrap quilts and applique, you're going to wear out this book.

Delightfu Quilts in Bloom [Illustrated] [Paperback] Review

This is an attractive book, but, in my opinion, not a great value. Potential buyers should be advised that this book only contains patterns for one full sized quilt, plus a small project.Also, all the block patterns must be vastly enlarged before they may be used.When I pay this much for a book, I expect full size patterns. It is not convenient, or inexpensive, for me to get to a proper copy machine.For what it's worth, I returned my copy as soon as I saw it's format.

In addition to the delightfully drawn baskets, containers such as a watering can, birdhouse, barrel, picket fence, coal bucket, and butter churn all are waiting to be filled with colorful bouquets.
