Lovely Landscape Quilts: Using Strings and Scraps to Piece and Applique Scenic Quilts

I like how small strips of fabric can be used, meaning that I can dig in my scrap boxes and create a design. I found several methods for piecing those strips together making the process easier and with less bulk. Great book!

I really enjoyed this book. Most authors of quilting books really only cover one narrow, specific method of working, but this book demonstrates a variety - piecing, fusing, collage, applique, and string piecing. I really enjoyed the variety. I like how she talks about different methods to achieve the results, with best practices for each method. She shows examples that use both mottled/batik/generic fabrics and others that use printed landscape fabrics like flowers. Specific projects and patterns are included, although I don't tend to use a specific pattern and just plan to use the techniques in my own project. This is a nice long book, plenty of room for details and project examples. I also really liked the gallery that showed strip landscapes from other artists besides the author. Absolutely beautiful photos. My only minor quibble with the book is that some of the fonts are a grayish text on cream paper, and I found that a bit hard to read. A mistake on the part of whoever designed the book!! Overall I really am happy with the book and have already starting using what I've learned.

In my large library of quilting books, this book is a stand-out. Unlike many quilting books that feature gorgeous quilts but really don't explain the techniques, this book offers an a-z explanation about how to achieve your own beautiful landscape quilts. So delighted to have invested in this book!

The book arrived on time and in very good condition. It is going to be my guide for creating a landscape quilted wall hanging.

I really love Cathy Geier's new book, Lovely Landscape Quilts. It's easy to read, several different ways of piecing with the strips are shown, as are closeups of her free motion quilting techniques. I've almost finished my first design of hers and I'm hooked. This is my favorite landscape quilt book, and believe me, I have most of them! I have several other designs in mind from the book to make after I finish this one. If you don't have this book, please add it to your collection - it's been #1 on Amazon for a good reason. Oh, and you have to check out her blog and website if you are looking for other techniques and specialty landscape fabrics to make your creations! She also just won an amazing award for her tree quilt in front of an amazing sunset - you'll be glad to have this book if you decide you want to try to make something similar. Thank you Cathy for a great, inspirational book. I can't wait to continue using this technique on other quilts!!

Very nice book. I've gotten some new views on fabric selection for landscapes. Many "scapes" are vertical rather than horizontal.

I was looking for a new method to do a landscape scene quilted wall hanging and saw this book. Having used applique before, along with adding buttons, yarn and flowers to embellish, this was new to me. I've done a string quilt using paper as my foundation to sew strips onto and this went right along with that experience. The photos and instructions work together to illustrate the process well. There are even some pull out patterns in the back. I've read the parts I wanted for my quilt and look forward to reading it through later. If you need some new ideas to make quilted landscapes, this book is worth the money. I'd seen it on a quilting site for much more, so I was glad to purchase it through Amazon.

Excellent book! Instructions are very clear; pictures helpful; excellent references within the text to guide you to pictures of quilts; shows many quilts of various artists; Cathy teaches a variety of methods and explains when to use them; I highly recommend this book!

molto chiaro, semplice, attuabile anche da chi non ha grande esperienza in materia lo consiglio vivamente a tutte quelle che vogliono qualcosa di diverso

Buen producto con sus patrones incluidos

Great book.

Breathtaking and beautiful. Makes you want to quilt. Gave me some great ideas and made me want to try landscape quilting. Broke it down into easy to follow steps. Provides a good variety of examples to try.

This book is beautifully illustrated and enjoyed reading it too. It shows you how to make beautiful mini quilts with scrap fabrics. I dyed my fabrics the colours I wanted for making the quilts. Beautiful book. Would make a wonderful gift for somebody wanting to experiment quilting on a small scale. Although I purchased this book some time ago, I still find myself looking through it for inspiration.
