Summary: On the Surface - OK
Comment: I found this book rather 1-dimensional and not particularly inspiring. There is only 1 basic technique covered in this book, and the examples are all of the "cute, folksy, boxy" variety, for the most part worked in cotton. Examples include cute, folksy, boxy women's clothing; cute, folksy, boxy home-dec items; cute, folksy, boxy girl's clothing...I was hoping to find some more elegant examples, some different techniques, some different textures, some different fabrics used.

The information presented is exhaustive (130+ pages on 1 technique!) and well-written, with nice photos of the author's and other's work, but as an experienced sewer and machine-embroidery enthousiast I find I get the same amount of inspiration and information out of a Threads magazine article - and there have been several on the technique presented in this book.

Summary: A Wonderfully Creative Approach to Quilting and Sewing
Comment: Loved it! This book takes quilting to a higher level, and yet the technique of thread embellishment is quite uncomplicated. I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in a unique approach to quilting or adding an extra dimension to their sewing - a very special book!

Summary: Wonderful technique for creating new textures
Comment: This fun book - thanks to Wendy's terrific sense of humor - shows how to create interesting fabric creations from what you have. Enables you to totally change a fabric into something else. Great ideas for using all the exciting threads available now. Only thing lacking is more projects. Hope there's a sequel.
