My Enchanted Garden: Applique Quilts in Cotton and Wool

These patterns are wonderful and will make your fingers itch to get busy on one of them. Ms Gibbons uses a combination of wool and cotton, but they could as easily be done entirely in either fabric. They will make wonderful pillows or tote bags if you don't want to do an entire quilt. Be sure to go to her web site where you can also buy kits for some of them if you don't want to have to figure out the fabric choices. The birds and flowers can also be used independently with other applique designs.

What a fun and great quilt design! I can't wait to start my quilt! I'm glad there are quilt designers that like to share their designs with those of us that know what we like, but can't design ourselves. And Gretchen Gibbons is a talented designer! I loved her quilt when it appeared in a quilt magazine after she won an award for it. So I was so happy to see she had made a book about it!

This book has the most beautiful and fanciful applique projects I have ever seen. What a fabulous artist !!! I could not get enough of just looking through this book at all the delightful projects---trying to decide which one to make. The colors used are gorgeous as well as the woolens used. One can even order the wool --- what a blessing that is !!! Jean Wells

I love wool embroidery and a friend had this book. After looking through it, I decided to order it. Pictures and drawings for templates are quite good. The quilt is very colorful which i like. It is possible to do the entire quilt or just one block and use it as a miniture hanging. Now i have to find time to make this.

I really want to make this quilt and read from reviews on this site that patterns would have to be enlarged so I knew what I was getting into. Got the book and rushed it over to copier without reading. It is expensive and I also had the book spiral bound. Reading directions tonight and on page 6 buried in the text you can go to shopmartingale and the pages are enlarged and you would have to print 4 pages per pattern and then tape it together. Would save you about $20 for copying. These pages at this site are the correct size if your copier doesn’t enlarge. Actually, if this isn’t your first Quilt you wouldn’t even have to buy the book but you should. The book is very well written and the patterns besides the Quilt are adorable. Plus I think you would be stealing.

Oh my goodness , Where to begin !!! Love the way the book is laid out , author did a wonderful job at making clear and being able to find resources . The photo's are off the charts ! I just love it . Oh and being able to enlarge was FANTASTIC !!!!!Oh did I say I was Happy with this book ?? I am !

I have not been able to put down this quilt book since I got it. I have been working on the quilt blocks nonstop. I you want an inspiring project, like to work with wool and an array of colorful fabrics, this project is for you. The book is well written and the pattern were very easy to obtain from Martingale's website. Have fun!!

The item wasbshipped and received in excellent condition. I would definitely recommend this seller.
