Summary: The look of mosaic and the feel of fabric
Comment: My new interest in mosaic attracted me to this book because I also sew. The lovely designs include mostly floral, fruit, and animal motifs. The patterns provided in the book are traced, then used to cut out your fabric pieces. Each design is formed of many pieces as if they are broken mosaic tiles, and put together like a puzzle. Dark lines of stitching separate each piece giving the design its mosaic appearance. The authors use bright jewel-like colors of fabric which give the designs more of a stained-glass window look. If printed or calico fabrics are used, the design takes on a more country quilt look. All the designs can be adapted to a variety of projects, such as pillows, wall hangings, or framed artwork. Fun projects for fabric crafters.

Summary: Great project book!
Comment: I liked this book a lot. To complete the projects in this book, you first have to cut the background quilt, then the applique pieces. I cheated and used iron-on fusible web. Then, in the book, you finish the project following the simple instructions included. I went one step further and stitched around all my pieces using different stitches and it came out beautiful. (I made the "Nesting Pair Pillow")

The only thing I needed help with was finishing the pillow (I'm only a teen). But with my Mom's help, I finished it.

Overall, the projects are simple to applique, but kids may need help sewing it. Very cute projects in this book!
