Beautiful applique.......1999-06-03
The applique designs are lovely, realistic, and disarmingly simple. Watch out for small applique pieces. The individual flower designs seem to me to work better than the larger composition pieces shown, but all in all a refreshing new look.
Wonderful, realistic, wild flowers........1999-02-20
The author and designer of this book has a great sense of humor. Her designs are realistic and her technique is simple and easy to understand. Gone is the pressure to be perfect because nature is not perfect. The color plates give excellent ideas on use of the various line drawings. Designs are presented so they may be mixed to create a realistic flower garden appearance.

Fast and Fun.......2003-11-10
I made each of these blocks in one evening and then put them in a quilt, alternating solid blocks and adding sashing. It was quick and fun to see each critter come together like magic. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, although you have to be careful and sew precisely.
bring the forest alive.......2000-05-29
I loved this book not only for the excellent directions and nice pictures but it gave me an instant craving to start working on a quilt with the simple "puzzle method" patterns. My quilt is finished and looks great.

A "must" for the needlecraft library........2000-04-06
A highly recommended pick for those involved in quilting and home decoration projects, Carol Armstrong's Wild Birds contains over twenty full-size patterns and directions for 8 projects, providing beautiful bird images which range from titmouse and hummingbird to orioles and swallows. The attention to birding detail provides more depth and ideas than most.
A Must for the applique library.......2000-03-21
Carol Armstrong does it again with her second book. The patterns and examples are stunning. Carol has a knack for designing applique that is visually complex and yet, can be accomplished with basic hand applique skills. These are absolutely the best bird designs out there for applique. These designs are not intended for the "heat-n-bond" quilter, but for the beauty of hand applique. This book inspires and is sure to be a classic for the bookshelf.

Pieced animals made simple.......1999-05-18
Realistic animals are a daunting challenge for most quilters. Margaret Rolfe's technique solves this problem. Her clear instructions and detailed patterns allow you to make fabulous animals.
Each animal pattern includes illustrations and instructions for a wall-hanging including the animal. There are also pictures of other finished quilts using the animals.
My first attempt at using this book was successful, and has inspired me to use more animal motifs in my quilts.

Excellent book!!!.......2007-05-14
This is a great book for seamstresses with some experience(I think it would be too hard for beginners.It would be good if you have some comprehenesion on sizing(drafting patterns yourself for example)but that isn't even necessary.I think it would be easier though:)
Frances Grimble gives clear instructions for changing patterns to size and even to different body shapes(large bust, short back etc.
You do need to take some time for this, but well, you'll have an authentic pattern in your hands, how great is that?;)And there are so many in this book! I was having a very hard time finding real historical patterns in The Netherlands(so far found one french journal from 1902)and I feel like a kid in a candystore now.:)I
<3 this book already.
You can make a complete outfit, from undergarments to overgarments.
If you have some sewing experience and you love this period it is really a great book!
Amazon's service is excellent too. It didn't take very long for the item to arrive(from US to the Netherlands)(with one step faster shipping, expidited?)it was even a lot faster then the estimated arrival time.
Fashions of the Gilded Age, Volume 1: Undergarments, Bodices, Skirts, Overskirts, Polonaises, and Day Dresses 1877-1882.......2006-08-16
This book is wonderful. I believe I own every book Frances Grimble has written and anxiously await more. The variety of patterns is amazing and allows the experienced sewer to create their own designs from various components, like sleeves and collars. This sure beats trying to decipher the patterns in an original 1890's issue of Harpers!
as good as all the other Frances Grimble books.......2006-03-22
This book contains patterns for the following:
corsets, hoopskirts and bustles (some)
underclothing and negligee wear (quite a few)
day and evening skirts (only about four)
day bodices (quite a few)
evening bodices (some)
overskirts (some)
polonaises (some)
day dresses (quite a few)
some = around ten
quite a few = over 20
I would recommend this book for anyone who likes victorian costuming. It not only works as a pattern book, but as a source book, having lots of pictures you can use for reference. Even if you just look through it, it really can help you understand the styles of that era.
What An Excellent Book!!.......2005-01-13
The pictures and descriptions within the book are an excellent reference if you are researching and intending on recreating one of these beautiful designs. Advanced knowledge of sewing skills is a must for those who wish to recreate these (definantly not for the novice sewer). Frances Grimble, you've done it again. Please keep them coming. I will buy every book you put out.
Wow!.......2004-09-29
There's just so MUCH material in this book--so many pictures and patterns and so many pages of hard-to-find information. Women's styles of the period were intricate, with separate bodices, overskirts, and skirts, or with polonaises (a bodice with the overskirt attached) and skirts. This book separates patterns for bodices, skirts, overskirts, and polonaises to mix and match however you want. It also gives patterns for whole dresses, but you can mix their components too.
There are far more patterns for EVERYTHING than I've ever seen anywhere else. There were many, many ways of cutting and draping an overskirt or a polonaise. In this book it's amazing to see fashion plates of overskirts that look similar in the plates, but the cut and drape shown by the pattern pieces is quite different. There are even 19 patterns for chemises.
This book will keep me busy for a long time!
Book Description
Remarkably rich collection of 60 full-page designs featuring such wildlife favorites as the antelope, cougar, giraffe, koala, elephant, lion, deer, otter, eagle, duck, parrot, hummingbird, many others. Perfect as well for royalty-free use in other art and craft projects.
