Great illustrations.......2005-12-28

This book is very easy to read and has great illustrations for the techniques. Very helpful! One of the best buys as far as the price compared to some of the other books. Illustrations are drawings and not pictures which I find more helpful and a little more detailed than a picture.

It's just.... a great book.......2000-05-30

This is a book I really liked. It explains almost everything you need to know about horses. It's clear and complete. Approaches every subject you could look for, especially those related to surgery. I borrowed this book from a friend, read it all, but it was not enough, this book has too much information. So, if you are a veterinarian, a student, a horse trainer, a horse owner or just a horse lover, this is a perfect book to have in your personal library to consult it whenever you need.

Wow!.......2007-02-15

She is a master! The explanations are clear and the art works lovely even if you never make one. But you can try some great new techniques under her care with this book.

A real artist!.......2006-03-17

Fabric Journey: An Inside Look at the Quilts of Ruth B. McDowell is a splendid example of the evolution of a quilt and quilting process of a talented artist. It is not a book that contains patterns for quilters to make themselves.

Ruth B. McDowell is one artist who is emphatic that her designs are not to be copied or reproduced in any form without permission. And there are no patterns provided. So if you want to look at her work and make a similar quilt, this book is not for you.

But if you want to study an artist's work and the evolution of her art, you will find McDowell's book interesting. If you are a quilt designer, you will learn some valuable lessons about expression through fabrics and the visual impact of choices. McDowell shares some valuable techniques that will certainly make specific processes easier for quilters.

McDowell's quilts are stunning and her journey to the finished art piece is fascinating. Reading her book is an inspirational experience that can be translated to your own work by releasing your individual creativity.

Armchair Interviews says: The artist's journey, as well as the beautiful quilts, should help you mature as an artist if you thoughtfully study McDowell's work and processes.

Look with new eyes.........2005-10-14

This book challenged my ideas of fabric pattern and colour use, and had me go out to the garden with a digital camera to capture flowers and then enlarge the result to examine them towards designing my own quilt. The ideas presented by Ruth appear to be adaptable towards any type of pictorial or emotional art quilt, a truly valuable acquisition.

Excellent page by page of instruction.......2005-09-21

This is such a well illustrated book, I am so pleased wiht it. I have been doing challenge quilts for several years, and this adds so much knowledge to my brain for different approaches to the projects. Wonderful pictures, and side notes. Would reccommend it to anyone interested in stepping out of the box in thier quilting.

The journey continues.......2005-09-07

This latest work from Ruth B. McDowell continues where her book on piecing leaves off. It overviews many of her quilts with details on where the design started, how it was developed, why were the fabrics chosen and what do they do for the quilt. While this is not a formal text on creating an art quilt, she does use use many concepts one would expect in a good fine arts class. The difference is that the medium is fabric. No patterns are provided (her works are copyrighted and not intended for duplication), but the intent is to inspire the reader to design their own works. I hope that as her work develops further that she will be able to write more books of this kind.
