ROSE GARDEN FANTASY!.......2003-09-15
Rosemary Makhan has updated antique Rose blocks and proportioned 20 patterns so that they flow together. She has produced the book to appeal to new and seasoned quilters alike by offering beginning applique lessons along with basic quilting and binding; additionally, reverse applique and some embroidery. The gallery of quilts are offered in beautiful color varieties; one of my favorites being a blue, teal and lavendar. If you are partial to Rose of Sharon blocks in applique, this is the book for you.

In a completely updated version of her 1977 classic, Diana Leone (owner of The Quilting Bee store in Northern California), takes readers--clearly and thoroughly--through every step of quilt-making. Leone's comprehensive approach begins with a roundup of supplies, a fabric selection guide, and all the other details of getting started, then moves on to piecing and appliqué. Next come finishing, assembling, and quilting instructions. Sampler lessons provide details and diagrams for 36 different quilt blocks, arranged alphabetically and keyed with a system of one to four thimbles to indicate ease or difficulty. A beginner or intermediate quilter couldn't ask for a better guide to the basics.

The New Sampler quilt is an exelent and motivating book. It is good for beginners and intermediates alike. It has bright colorful pictures as well as clear and concise directions. The book also includes already drawn pieces for 12" blocks. This book gave me many new ideas.

Don't judge a book by its cover........2007-01-17
I almost passed this book by because I don't like the motif of hands; I thought the content inside might be too cute or tacky. I did buy it though, and I can't wait to use it. The patterns are beautiful and many and they are all Baltimore style with a quarter of the pattern, so that it fits on the page. They can be easily traced or photocopied to use in any way one sees fit.
My go-to gal for machine appliqué.......2007-01-05
I started out as a hand appliquér. When I decided to learn fusible machine appliqué, I took this book off the shelf time and time again to refresh my memory on the steps, tips, and tricks involved, including how to get around corners and handle points. Sue's book is an excellent reference. Plentiful, detailed illustrations show exact needle positions and what the stitches should look like. Thanks Sue! You are my go-to gal for raw-edge machine appliqué.

No turning under raw edges.......2005-09-01
I first saw Sue Nickel's on "Simply Quilts" with Alex Anderson, demonstrating her techniques. This method of applique looks as good as the kind you turn under the raw edges, but it takes alot less time. Sue also has a technique where you remove the inside of the fusible web so the applique isn't so hard. If you want a book on all kinds of applique techniques, then I would recommend Harriet Hargrave's "Mastering Machine Applique". I like Sue's approach to applique the best.
Machine Applique A Sampler of Techniques........2005-08-06
I am always pleased by the speedy service and the condition and the quailty of the merchandise.
Thanks
Revolutionizing!.......2003-05-28
I am a relatively new appliquer and I haven't read many books on applique. After reading this book, my applique was revolutionized! I learned how to use freezer paper and fabric glue to machine applique (why didn't I think of that!).
Until now I have only appliqued by hand or using the fusible method. I don't like the raw-edge look, however, so I really gained a lot of value from Sue Nickel's insights on using glue.
If you haven't tried the iron-and glue method using freezer paper for machine applique that looks like it was done by hand, this book will inspire you!
There are lots of templates to try out her different methods and you can create a very traditional looking quilt from her patterns.

more great stuff from piece o'cake.......2003-08-29
I love pretty much everything Piece O'Cake has ever done and this book is a good reference for applique. Even though I've done lots of applique and tried many different techniques, I still learned a few things from this book. Each block in the sampler quilt presented teaches a different skill, and builds on the previous blocks. The project is not too large and therefore is not too daunting. Some instructions are also given for machine applique, but the emphasis is on hand applique. If you've ever wanted to try hand applique, this is a great book to get you started.

A great way to discover what type of quilt patterns you like.......2003-06-07
The beautiful quilt on the cover sold the book to me. Since Amazon.com's listing doesn't have a photo, let me describe it. The cover quilt features a sampler of 12 different heart motifs. The designs are different enough to make this sampler quilt constantly interesting to sew but the heart motif and the fabric selection unify the quilt much more than many samplers I've seen.
Featured in the sampler are the Checkerboard Heart, pieced from small squares; the Log Cabin Heart, with a small heart applique added to this traditional design; Crazy at Heart, a planned crazy patch; Heart Turnaround, which has a simple Amish feel; and Star of My Heart, an Ohio Star variation with hearts. Creating this sampler will require the quilter to practice skills in intricate piecing, learn to make Prairie Points (little trianges that stick out from the quilt surface), work with curved seams on (appropriately) Curved Heart, and do a fair amount of applique.
In addition to the sampler quilt, "Celebration of Hearts" contains scores of other projects, each based on one of the blocks featured in the sampler: a variety of throw pillows, stuffed animals, an apron, slippers, a sewing bag, etc. Don't be deterred by the '80s looking colors of the cover quilt. As the quilts depicted inside prove, hearts are a timeless motif that can be incorporated into many looks. Among the ideas depicted in the book are ways to change the look of the sampler blocks for a southwestern theme, Christmas colors, an Amish look, and many Victorian florals.
One weakness of "Celebration of Hearst" is that it didn't have a lot of basic tips for a beginning quilter. Since this was the first quilt book I ever bought (fortunately not quite the first quilt I made), I was a bit at a loss to figure out the mechanics of putting my quilt together. I found that making my borders turn out the right length, based on the measurements provided and how I cut them, was frustrating. I've since discovered that many more recent quilt books suggest cutting them extra long--something these authors didn't mention.
Overall, however, a "Celebration of Hearts" was an absolute delight to make. (Okay, everything EXCEPT piecing the Ohio Star block was an absolute delight.) I absolutely loved the embellishments that they suggested, including the wandering ribbons and hodge-podge sprinkling of buttons that adorn several of the blocks. Since I was making the sampler from leftover fabric from my bridesmaids' and flower girls' dresses--and was divorced by the time I got around to actually making the quilt--I added one last embellishment that wasn't in the book: I tied my wedding ring to the final block, and was happy to be done with it.

Great book with easy instructions and templates.......2004-10-05
I was so excited with the variations of 9 patch designs I stopped all my other projects to start a new quilt. I like the work pages where you can see how variations of color completely change the same block. I'm starting with 2 color variations for 1 block so completed I can have 2 quilt tops. Most of all Im having a lot of fun with this. Templates are included and instructions are easy to follow. I'll probably use this book a lot.
