I love the technique of paper piecing anyway. I checked it out at my library and I knew I had to have my own copy. She shows how to put all the details together. This book can also be used with other media which is why I bought it. It reminds me of the Iris folding for making cards and the scrapbooking ideas that it inspires one is incredible. How about quilling? Just quill over the patterns on a transparency or just the pattern itself for that eye-popping texture. Or the idea of stenciling by making your pattern and off you go because the patterns are not so detailed. Clay and Jewelry making for those of you who love your animals. A charm bracelet would a great idea. Copy your picture onto that plastic film that shrinks down while putting it into the oven and "ta-da" little animals, oh, don't forget to puncture your hole before heating it. Plantpokes out of clay or add your "stuff" for that 3-D effect for those who are really good at clay. The wood people should be interested as it would inspire me working these patterns in the different colors of wood for framing or for that soft 3-D effect. I just bought it because I just love paper-piecing. She is truly an "engineer" just to figure it all out. I just love that kind of stuff.Read full review
I love this book by Margaret Rolfe. She has put together a wonderful group of pieced animals for quilts. I loved the way she designed them and many of her ideas on how to best accomplish piecing them. Unlike two earlier books, this one has great directions for foundation piecing. I have other books that she has done on other animals and love them too. There are 53 different creatures in this book. Some are very usual and others are very Australian. Margaret is from Australia and covers her homelands' animals very well in her other books as well. Very useful, fun , and well designed.
I love this book. I cannot wait to use it making quilts for Project Linus!
