It's a beginner's book, focusing on how to construct small quilts that can be embellished with beads, rickrack, buttons, photos, hand-stitching, ribbon and whatnot.
Although it's set up as a project book, with detailed patterns and instructions on how to exactly replicate Cheryl's pieces, I found the most interesting and helpful material in the front of the book, with generic information that people can use with any project. In particular, I liked the directions on how to make buttons and other embellishments out of polymer clay.
If you'd like to put your name in the hat for a copy of Cheryl's book, leave a comment in the next couple of days and I'll choose a winner on Saturday. (I'm sorry we can't ship overseas.)
Please throw my name in the hat for a chance at Cheryl's book. I have some polymer clay I bought several years ago and didn't do anything with it so I could use the book to show me how to make those buttons!

Sounds like a book I really need. I want to embellish some small quilts but don't know where to start and when to stop.
ReplyDeleteI've got items with which to embellish, so maybe this book would inspire me to use them.
