Fabric Landscapes by Machine,
By Edna Forbes (Quitman, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fabric Landscapes by Machine (Paperback)
I got a few unexpected bonus' with this book. It has a pattern to make a vest with a landscape as well as several patterns. The work is explained and the color pictures were a help in understanding the methods outlined in the book. Good graphics as well as examples are in the book.

great wearable art ideas,
By Ali Revere "seeking to understand" (Wilmington, Delaware United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fabric Landscapes by Machine (Paperback)
My book arrived just 2 days ago and I stayed up late scouring it from cover to cover (had to wait until the kids were in bed for quiet time). I'm not much into quilting, but love creating unique and unusual things, especially wearable art. This book is perfect. If you are a quilter you'll love the ideas to take your hobby to the next level. If you are more of a sewer, you'll be impressed by the detailed (and simple)instructions that make this form of quilting quick, easy and intriguing. To top it off, the book comes with 4 of the authors very own landscape quilt patterns plus another pattern for turning a lanscape quilt into a vest. The patterns alone are worth the cost of the book.I ran out today and purchased fabrics to make a woodland scene and can't wait to get started. I also happen to be lucky enough to have a top of the line sewing and embroidery machine, so I can use it to further embellish my landscape quilt. But to be honest, with all the great ideas, techniques, thread and fabric suggestions the author has given, you do not need one of these fancy machines to make a work of art. This is a neat, neat book!

Starting to Do Fabric Landscaps,
By Michelle G. Reid "M. R." - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fabric Landscapes by Machine (Paperback)
Excellent directions from start to finish. Easy to understand, learn to select fabrics, make a pattern, put it together and embellish it. It's that easy. A wonderful book for the person who wants to do a landscape quilt and doesn't know where/how to begin. Good examples and pleasant reading. I puchased two additional copies for friends.
