MY FAVORITE QUILT BOOK RIGHT NOW! Im so high on the new book Fabric Embellishing The Basics & Beyond because it covers more than 50 techniques with simple exercises and small projects.

When I first looked at the book, I thought there wouldn’t be much that I would use as a great part of it pertains to other mediums than I use. After more in-depth reading, I found several ideas that will ‘translate’ to my favorite medium, quilting!

I love, love, love that this book is spiral-bound. I’ve always loved spiral-bound books because of being left handed. They just seem easier to look at and especially to work from. I also love that it’s easy to read, the pictures are beautiful, and the directions are easy to follow. They also are techniques that I WANT to try.

…it’s safe to say that I’ve been around the block a time or two when it comes to embellishing fabric. So I was surprised to find some techniques in this book I had never even heard of. Even those techniques and materials I’m familiar with are used in ways I hadn’t thought about.

If I could own only one book on embellishment techniques, this would be it. I actually own a number of such books, but this has quickly become my favorite.

…a large photo of an embellished ‘workbook’ page… invites readers to try the technique, then add personal style.

This title goes beyond the obvious and explores new ideas and products you may not be familiar with. If you are interested in embellishing, dabbling in art quilting or just want to add pizzazz to your traditional quilts, this is a title to own.

If you’re just starting to experiment with embellishment, or if you’ve ever been ‘embellishment curious,’ this is the book for you. For more advanced fiber artists, the book serves as a great embellishment encyclopedia and will soon be your ‘go-to’ book when you’re looking for a bit of inspiration.
