Book Reviews of Fabric Art Workshop: Exploring Techniques & Materials for Fabric Artists and Quilters

Book Review: For the experienced fabric designer
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a wonderful book if you are experienced in multiple methods of working with fabrics and fibers. It gives short, concise, information on techniques, and lets you 'run with it' on your own. I needed to research a method of working with fiber that I had used before, quite some time ago, and had forgotten the exact method for the process. This book quickly brought me up to speed, giving me an excellent reminder of how to start. I was then able to work through what I had done before to achieve my results. It also gave me the basics on a method I had thought about, but never knew how it was done (fabric beads). In a couple of short paragraphs I had the process down and was able to experiment at will.

If you aren't an experienced fabric worker, or like to be given clear, step-by-step instructions on methods and examples of what you can actually do with different methods, may I suggest Art Quilt Workbook, by Waterston?

It is very clearly written, gives good, clear instructions, and examples of projects you can try. It is an excellent choice for a beginner's book.

Good luck, and have FUN!!!
