Summary: Pretty Good Book
Comment: This book was pretty good. But I liked Free-Style Quilts by Susan E. Carlson better. I didn't think that this book went into enough details on "how to's". Although it has some nice information on things like prespective.

Summary: Nice Addition to Your Art Quilt Library
Comment: This book covers basic techniques and tools for making pictorial quilts. Great photos show different applique and quilting techniques, with lots of close-ups that give you a nice feel for the types of fabrics, stitching and embellishments used to create various effects. These are particulary helpful. But its biggest contribution is its ability to inspire by example. A wide range of pictorial quilting styles is shown, offering many ideas for how to represent flowers, leaves, water, sky, and more. I also like the quotes from various quiltmakers that provide background information on their inspiration and techniques. A must-have for any quilter who enjoys looking at or aspires to create pictorial quilts!

Summary: Pictorial Quilting
Comment: This book is a fascinating read and offers practical advice, (especially for the novice quilter like myself). Being a new person to the world of quilting, I was looking for something that was slightly different. This book offers that and more. Pictorial Quilting differs from the traditional modes of quilting, offering a new and innovative way for an individuals to transform ideas into a final pictorial quilt. Along the way readers will be able to pick up practical advice for combining colours, fabric types and how to change a picture or idea into a quilt. In addtion to the practical information, there a number of completed quilts that will inspire all levels of quilters to larger and greater heights.
