  Review of Petal Play: The Traditional Way - 06/17/2005

  Reviewer: Anonymous from Paducah, KY, US

  This inspiring title features over 20 unique, easy appliqué projects with 3D flowers that are suitable for every skill level. The author provides color–illustrated, step–by–step instructions and patterns for each exciting project. She explains how to use embroidery to embellish the flowers. The exciting thing about this book is that one can mix and match the 11 different traditional quilt blocks any way you like with the ten different flower patterns. For example, if you prefer to replace the background for the Christmas cactus flower with some other block, you can do that. In the first chapter, the author provides basic instructions on different techniques. - BellaOnline: The Voice of Women – October 2004
