Baltimore Beauties and Beyond - Volume One by Elly Sienkiewicz Publisher CT Publishing The first volume contains four parts. The first part looks at getting started to make a Baltimore Album quilt. The second part has twelve lessons gradually working through the entire construction process. When I first read this book my reaction was 'WOW so that's how it's done'. I learned so much from this book such as how to make a ruched rose, three-dimensional flower buds, right through to mending appliqué and troubleshooting points and corners. In the third part Elly looks in detail at the needleartists whose work is featured in the book. Each lady is named and a little about her is written. The fourth part of the book begins the pattern section. The patterns are very well detailed and include any embroidery stitching required to complete the block. $24.95 |
