Just plain fun
This book is fun to thumb through and has some great projects.What a wonderful combination, quilting and stenciling.I have really enjoyed using some the the techniques found in this book.A real gem for quilters who are looking for a bit of a twist.

great even for beginners
I am a beginner quilter but love the idea of using other media to embelish as i am not yet able to quilt complex patterns.this book offers many tips to incorporate stenciling in sewing projects large and small. Stenciling--a Surface Modification Technique for Quilters
By using freezer paper stencils, craft paint, fabric pens and other embellishments, Vicki Garnas provides quilters a creative alternative to conventional applique, especially for those who have trouble with "Aword" techniques. Her directions are clear and the supply lists areconcise, so getting started in a new medium is not difficult. Read more

Native American Designs 2
This book was written with quilters in mind. It has some introductory information on how to use the patterns and a little history. The patterns are taken from or based on indian artistry mainly in pottery, silverwork and basketry. The 100 plus patterns may be copied for personal use only. Using my own imagination, I can picture some of these interesting patterns being used for stenciling on a wall, inspiration for artwork as well as the quilt stitching that it was designed for.I am sure that I will put some of these patterns to use.

Buyer Beware
If you already own "Quilting Patterns from Native American Designs" and "Native American Designs for Quilting" do not bother with "Native American Designs 2."As Ms Mori states in the introduction, which it is unlikely most folks read prior to ordering this book, "Native American Designs 2" is a selection of her favorites from the titles shown above.It does have a few "bonus" patterns, but if you're expecting additions to Ms Mori's previous excellent compilations, this isn't it.

this review covers the quilting book
i don't know what book the other reviewer referred to, though i would like to.i am writing about joyce mori's second book of quilting designs from native american work.

Editorial Review

If you've ever admired the intricate marbled patterns on the endpapers of old books, you may be surprised at how readily this look adapts to fabric. With a relatively small investment in materials and a good dose of patience, anyone can learn the secrets of creating elaborate marbling on silk, cotton, rayon, polyester, sheers, even ultra suede and tissue lamé. Filled with good instructions and helpful color photos, this guide explains all the basics and shows how to achieve 15 different marbling patterns and variations, plus advanced techniques like using resists to silhouette shapes in the marbling, adding dimension with rubber stamps, embellishing edges with scalloping, and making a three-color progression that allows for careful planning of a color scheme. To begin using your newly marbled fabrics, chose from among seven step-by-step projects, including vests, a pillow, and a quilt (there's also additional information on quilting marbled fabric). A brief gallery of some of the author's lovely wearables and quilts proves that marbled fabric lends itself perfectly to so much more than just scarves. Read more
