Reader Reviews
This book is very nice, with some very good patterns. The only thing I don't like about the book is that it uses real feathers for the birds. For a book that's ecologicaly minded, that seems a bit ironic. For my projects I used feathers I made from a fringed 'tube' of matching fabric with pipe cleaners for the core. The animals included are: Chinese River Dolphin - A very nice and easy pattern. Spotted Owl - A decent pattern. I used the wings from the Macaw for the wings here, since this is a feather pattern. African Elephant - A GREAT pattern that I really loved. American Alligator - Another great find! I adored this one. Scarlet Macaw - Once again the use of real feathers bogs this otherwise nice pattern down. Loggerhead Turtle - I can't wait to try and make this quilted turtle. Stuffed right he'd make a good pillow. Panda - Not the best panda I've ever since, I want to alter this pattern. Orangutan - The face here is really nice. Bald Eagle - Another feather pattern. Other then that, it's a fantastic pattern. Kangaroo & Joey - Very nice. The joey seems just a hair too large, however. Wolf - Once more, a very nice pattern. I don't plan on making the Windsock, House Banner, Pillow or Quilt, but they have some nice aplique designs. All in all I was very pleased with this book. Like all of Jodie Davis' work the instructions are clear, easy, and well thought out. If you plan on making animals, I recommend this book, along with Stuffed Animals and All the Trimmings.
