 Beautiful Lace, Needs More 'Design Your Own' Info August 1, 2007
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
There's no denying that the award-winning lace applique quilt on the cover is fantastic - and the author's techniques excellent. There were a great many lovely individual lace patterns that could be used for a 'one design item' like a wall hanging. But I had hoped that there would be more discussion of how the author goes through the process of creating one huge, grand design like the cover quilt - with more suggestions of what makes a good design, and more little 'bits and pieces' of lace patterns that could be used to fill in small spaces, instead of 'stand alone' designs. I think it will be necessary for me to do a bit of research on lace 'design' - enlarging photos of the types of lace 'bits' I need, before I can complete a full quilt design like the author's. I do wish she had included this information - so I wouldn't have to search for it AFTER buying the book! I would love to make a SIMILAR quilt - not a copy of the author's - because the reverse applique process is so easy and 'portable'.

Linda Pool's applique creations are renowned in quilting circles, and you can duplicate her techniques using APPLIQUE LACE PATTERNS, an easy collection of patterns worked for only two pieces of fabric, scissors, and a needle. Blocks can be made for quilt projects from a lovely book packed with both patterns and color details.
