Look what arrived today!!
I preordered this book the minute I heard it was on the horizon and I'm so glad I did! 127 pages of drool-worthy crazy quilting done by one of my favourite artists...Allison Aller. There are seven projects and some of the techniques include stenciling, photo-transfer and Angelina fibre effects. Allison is a master at creating dimensional embellishments for her work and there are some excellent pointers in the book, along with tons of eye candy. Allison definitely has a modern twist on crazy quilting but still shows the influence of the more traditional types too. Great job Allie - love it!! You can visit Allie at her blog alliesinstitches.blogspot.com

ReplyDeleteyou're building quite a library there!!
ReplyDeleteAlthough crazy quilting is not a big interest of mine, your enthusiasm is so catching that I'm now in danger...
ReplyDeleteOh, this is on my Wish List! I just ordered Pats magazine so hopefully, I can get Allie's book next.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for mine to arrive. When I heard it was out I ordered it from Amazon along with another one and can't wait for them to arrive. I got a notice they shipped. I also ordered Pat winter's new mag and am waiting for that. I will never get anything done if all I do is sit and drool over all the pretties.
ReplyDeleteBetween the books and thesomerset mags I hate to think what I spend a year on them but it keeps me sane. cheaper then a therapist - or so I tell the other half.
