Need Last Minute Gifts? Then This Book Is For You!

Lots of fast and easy prjects for applique and pieced designs. And not just for quilts! Includes projects for the cutest greeting cards, ornaments, pillows, and a cute Halloween papier mache box. I found all the projects to have a country feel but just by changing the fabric, these items can be turned into folk arty projects. The only down side is that you have to enlarge the patterns; but they have over 100 projects in the book that there would not have been room for full sized patterns. I found that the best way was to trace the pattern and then enlarge on the copier. All in all, this is a great book and I found that most projects took less than two hours to complete. I do recommend this for beginning quilters and it's a good way to learn applique and pieced techniques in a quick and gratifying way.

Great for beginners

I've never made hanging quilts before but this book is great for beginners. It is simple and easy to understand. The mini quilts are great offering a variety of Christmas, Halloween, Animals and other bits and pieces. They all look relatively easy to make. There are a few more complicated ones in there for those with more confidence.

great book for quick but gratifying results.

I love this book. It has great ideas, colour illustrations and easy directions. Easy projects for all seasons and sewing motifs to boot. Lots of birds, animals, hearts, birdhouses and lots more. Fusible web, easy embroidery stitches, buttons, batting and fabric are all you need to complete any of these small projects. Patterns are all included (to be enlarged). I think this book is a keeper!
