Book Reviews of Bonnet Girls: Patterns of the Past
Book Review: Charming and versatile
Summary: 5 Stars
There is no way to describe how appealing these designs are if you have not seen them for yourself. It is like watching Little Women come to life through fabric. They are in every position and doing every daily chore you can imagine, including dipping their bare toes in the creek. Their gowns blow in the wind, they carry candles or cakes or babies. They fly kites with the children, teach school, offer up a baked turkey or decorate the tree. There are even three male figures to incorporate. Helen uses embroidery floss to appliqué the figures, which outlines all the pieces in sharp relief. She teaches you to braid hair, twist it in a bun or display a head of tousled curls. The pieces are infinitely interchangeable and all the faces are hidden by stylish bonnets. I don't do appliqué and my little girl is grown, but I love these every time I see them.
Summary of Bonnet Girls: Patterns of the Past
Bonnets evoke the mystique of a bygone day. If you cherished paper dolls as a child, these charming quilt block designs will bring back delightful memories. Choose from 15 Bonnet Girls, their children, menfolk, and pets and create a family. Depict movement and different scenes by simply changing the positions of bonnets, arms, hands, and legs. More than 30 props - hats, parasols, flowers, animals, and background settings - are interchangeable. Add lace, ribbons, beads, cords, and tassels for a sparkling finish. Lend a sense of weather by quilting wind, raindrops, snowflakes, or clouds. Included are more than a dozen background quilting designs - all suited for traditional applique, redwork, and embroidery.Crafts & Hobbies Books
