Book Reviews of Piece by Piece Machine Applique
Book Review: magnificent
Summary: 5 Stars
i ordered this book in the hopes that it would include the pattern for the the award-winning quilt on the cover--which i had seen in quilt magazines and fallen madly in love with. it does that, along with really good, detailed instructions.
but the book is more than just a source for a pattern. the first part includes instructions, with excellent photos, of schamber's approaches to turned edge and raw edge machine applique and her take on paper piecing. she has some very good truly new ideas, many of which i will try with my next applique. she also presents some very nice designs as practice projects for her techniques. even those of us who love needleturn applique can find ideas to make the process easier and more precise.
there is a gallery of her designs, which are wonderful, with many delightful details in the borders and bindings.
what i didn't expect was the breathtaking quality of her quilting. it is amazing, stunning, inspiring. even if you don't plan on ever doing applique, this book is worth buying for the quilting alone. it is completely contemporary but has the depth of the best 19th century examples. i hope she puts out a book on quilting very very soon!
i would not just recommend this book to quilters, i would insist they buy it. her designs, her color and fabric choices, her techniques--they are a master class in quilting from this multi-award winning artist and offer years of inspiration.
