Fabulous book for crazy quilters

I bought this book several months ago to learn how to patch the squares and finish a quilt. It has been a wonderful resource book and very inspirational. There are tons of color photos that show great detail and there are several templates to give beginners some ideas about embelishments. I have made several projects since I got this book and I refer to it all the time. It's a great book to have if you love to do fancy emboidery stitches and crazy quilting. I definately recommend it!

This is the most Complete Crazy Quilting Book I have Seen

I have been doing Crazy Patchwork for about a year now and collecting books for about that amount of time, and this is the best one on technique that I have found. Michler takes you from choosing supplies to finishing techniques. I picked this one up because I was needing to learn some techniques for actually finishing a quilt. This was perfect and also taught me some new ideas on embellishing. I disagreed with a few opinions in the book, but as far as technique goes, this is THE book for Crazy Quilting. If I had had this book a year ago, teaching myself would have been so much easier.

The most complete book I have seen yet!

I have seen many crazy quilting books, but none compare to this one.It guides you from suplies, fabric, methods,embroidery, and borders. The only wish I have is that I had this book before I did my first crazy quilt. Anyone who is starting out should find this book a must, and anyone who wants to learn new ideas should find this book a must.It is a joy to own and one I would never give up.If you need information on crazy quilting this book is the first place to look for the answers.

An excellent resource!!!

I absolutely love this book! It provides a wonderful summary of many embroidery stitches, ribbon embroidery and other techniques possible for embellishments. I would truly recommend it to anyone wanting to start a crazy quilt or to someone who is interested in doing additional hand work on their quilts. It is near the top of my "Best Quilting Books" list.

This book gave me the courage to *start* a crazy quilt!

I have been looking longingly at crazy quilts since I was 14, and collecting books on crazy quilts for about 8 months. *This* book actually gave me the courage to start a crazy quilt of my own. The pictures are lovely, the instructions on construction are clear and concise and the sheer number of embroidery ideas is staggering. I have carried this book around with me in the days since it arrived poring over the pages and saying to myself, " I can do that." An ideal book for the beginner, wondering where to start, it also contains plenty of ideas for the long-time quilter looking for something new to inspire her work. Michler has truly captured the 'magic' of the crazy quilt and made it accessible to her reader.
