Beautiful, inspiring

I received this book yesterday evening when I got home. The first thing I always do is go through the book and look at the pictures to see if anything catches my eye. Is there anything that I want to make. The pictures in the book are wonderful, stunning! I would like to make each one of the quilts. Today I sat down to read the instructions. The first instructions are easy to understand and detailed. Anna starts out with a simply project. As you go through the book, the projects become, in my opinion, more of a challenge. But the projects are wonderful and I certainly will give them a try. I'm not a novice quilter, but I'm not a master by any means. There is semi-circle weaving, circle curvy weaving, fuzzy weaving, and partly curvy weaving. Great projects. At the back of the book are more basic instructions and a pull out section of patterns. I have not taken the pattern section out so I'm not certain what it contains. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves beautiful quilts no matter if they are a novice or a person who wants a challenge. I can't see where they would be disappointed.

Wonderful technique!!!!

This book makes everything so easy . The techniques are clearly photographed with easy to follow instructions. You will find that your quilts will be stunning to look at when you change from a plain background to a woven one. Enjoy!!!!

Very Inspiring

I've long been fascinated by weaving cloth strips. This book is very well written, very well illustrated and sparks your imagination!

Verrry Interesting!!!!!

While I haven't made anything using this technique yet, I plan to - soon. The illustrations and descriptions seem to be very straightforward and easy to follow. Beautiful and inspiring photos!

Inspiring quilts.

This book is just stunning! I am dying to try some of the woven backgrounds for my next quilted wall hanging. I had ordered the book because it looked so interesting, then I was in my local quilt shop and saw a gorgeous quilt on the wall. When I asked about it I was told there was no pattern, it was an original design based on this book. And the quilter is 15! That gives me hope. My only tiny complaint is there isn't a good explanation on how to determine before you start cutting what the colors of the finished background will look like. This is likely more a failing on my part than the author's, as I'm not particularly good with color. I recommend this book to anyone looking for something different and creative. The author is truly an artist, and just looking through the pictures of her quilts make your fingers itch to start creating!
