Reader Reviews
Wonderful photography, page after page of beautiful quilts created by Natalie Sewell and Nancy Zieman, in many cases including the scene or photograph that inspired the works. Good detail shots when needed, as well as photos of works in progress. The text is very readable. It's a how-to book in a way--the authors give tips on the rules of perspective in order to create realistic landscapes, and also how to use non-fiber materials such as pastels in order to add highlights and shading. The artists have a feel for gardens and landscape that heighten realism by choosing what to leave in and what to leave out. Many of Sewell's quilts are characterized by the illusion of deep space that makes the viewer feel as though it is possible to walk into woods and disappear into the mist. Whether you are a quilter, sewer, friend of a sewer or just want to enjoy a beautifully illustrated book, this one is a winner.
