Flowers In Applique : Fast and Simple Quilting with Printed-Motif Fabrics

Summary: Good ideas, lovely quilts, small projects are not applique.
Review: Ms Severson has a wonderful sense of color and design. Her quilts are a lovely combination of applique and piecing. She has also provided fine instructions for creating borders with meandering vines and ideas for using toile. The one thing I didn't care for in this text (which is pricey) were the small projects which were neither applique nor up to the quality of the rest of the text, (the sissor fob, eye glass case, sachets and pin cushion). Never-the-less I am happy I purchased the book for my library.

Summary: A Quick Approach to Vintage Floral - looking Quilts
Review: This book was stock full of useful information for making those beautiful chintz quilts of yesteryear. The directions were, for the most part, extremely precise. Where there is question, I found that contacting Ms. Severson via e-mail through her website, was an excellent experience. She wastes no time in helping with any questions you have and has a generous interest in what people who use her book are doing. The quilts in the book are extremely beautiful and most of the projects will produce some beautiful, heirloom quality quilts. It's one of my favorite books in my colletion!!!
