Summary: Beautiful and inspiring--
Comment: A quality paperback book: large color photos of the finished projects, heavy paper stock. Techniques are straightforwardly explained, easy to follow. Humorously written. If you never sew a stitch, this is a book you will turn to again and again, just for the pleasure of viewing a whimsical and colorful approach to quiltmaking! Highly recommended.

Summary: Peaky and Spike
Comment: This is a wonderful book with clear instructions and lots of pictures. Doreen is known for using bright colors and the quilts in this book are no exception. Many of the fabrics used came from places where she travelled. The reader may need to be able to translate the fabrics into what is available in their own locale. The quilt projects are well illustrated. The quilts were made during (or inspired by) quilting tours to Hawaii, Alaska and the Caribbean. Doreen's sense of humor permeates the book. It is written as if she was talking to you in her easy going manner. Her two triangular friends, Peaky and Spike are used over and over again to make the colorful quilts. Doreen passed away suddenly in Ireland last year (1999) while leading a quilting tour. This second book of hers should be a popular title for those who knew her as a friend, teacher and tour guide.
