Editorial Reviews:

A comprehensive source of all the newest and most popular fiber art techniques!

This technique-driven book explores a wide range of new possibilities and materials available to fabric and journal artists. Each unique technique is presented with an inspirational, full-page photo of a fabric journal page. How-to steps with photos explore all the possible results from applying the technique. The reader can create journal pages and/or quilt blocks, which can be sewn together to make one large journal quilt, matted and framed individually, displayed on a meditation screen, or used as book pages sewn into a traditional journal format.

  • Full-page fabric journal block to introduce each technique
  • Step-by-step photos for exploring and executing the technique
  • Gallery showing ways to display and use the fabric journal blocks
  • Great value. Like two years of classes rolled into one book.
  • Beautiful "journal page" opens each of 28 technique chapters
  • All techniques are easily mastered by anyone. No complex dying involved. All products are readily available at craft, fabric, and quilt shops.

Summary: YOU WON'T LEARN MUCH IN THIS "WORKSHOP"
Comment: If you're expecting to learn the techniques in this book you'll be disappointed. The author uses 2-4 pages on each mini "workshop" with limited photos that are not helpful. The "instructions" are sparse and confusing. If you want exposure to various materials and possible sources and/or referrals to other books for greater detail on 2-3 of the materials then this might be a helpful resource.

Summary: If you like to "experiment", this is the book for you!
Comment: I really didn't know how comprehensive this book was until I got it! It covers a wide variety of techniques and would be a great addition to someone's library who likes to play and experiment with various techniques in fabric embellishment and altering. My only critcizm is that there aren't enough detailed instructions. But then again, if there were, the book would have to be much thicker and probably a lot costlier. The author does make suggestions in places for other books on the particular techniques (like the angelina fibers). It's a great book for someone like myself who has a minimum knowledge of the various products and techniques mentioned, but just needs a bit of guidence in how to use them.
