Very well written, easy to understand with clear directions. I couldn’t wait to get started. This book is for those who like to think outside the box and create unique items. The instructions will also let those who prefer to follow a guide make lovely items.

I use quilting techniques for handbag sewing so I wasn’t expecting the book to have too many ideas I would use. Often Kindle unlimited books that are reference books can be a bust. But I love this one. I was excited about the embroidery stitch sections gives a well diagram for each stitch.

I loved this book. I have been quilting for many years and have made well over a hundred quilts. This book with its use of many different types of fabric refreshed my eyes. It has made me look at my fabric stash with new eyes. Very inspiring.

Lynn is a gifted artist and has introduced to the quilt world wool, silk, and cotton eclectics. I am a fabric snob and have been sewing garments for many years with fine silk and wool fabric. New to the quilting scene and excited about a modern textile experience, Lynn’s quilt projects take my breath away, they are original, fresh and rather imaginative. Bonus, instructions are clear and precise, well thought out. Cherrine Anderson
