 Trees and more trees August 23, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is a sideways format book, because the majority of landscape quilts are wider than they are tall. I can see their point, but I found it made the subject covered on any one page rather brief and 'sound-bite'ish. Most of the book uses extensive illustrations of individual quilts made by one or other of both of the authors. About 80% of them are of groups of trees in different seasons, some with water. They show you how they chose their subject, and various stages duing construction. Each has some special little tip to produce an effect, such as using felt tips to change the colour of petals, or make tree trunk markings.
The value of this book comes from the development of each idea. The reader will have to analyse why each project works (or doesn't) and then adapt those ideas to their own landscapes. There is very little about quilting, and no textural embellishments or thread painting. It is definitely a resource book rather than a manual.
 Very instructive August 23, 2007

This is the type of book you would keep in the how-to-do section of your bookcase. The instructions are clear and there are many examples to come up with your own designs or use the ones in the book. I am so greatful to find artists who are willing to share their knowledge with others instead of guarding it jealously. This is a book you will refer to over and over.

Landscape quilting techniques have their own demands and special tricks, and here to bring them all to light is The Art of Landscape Quilting, a guide to choosing fabrics, designing, cutting, and painting fabric. Over fifty quilts from the authors' own collections are used to provide directions on producing landscape designs, from ten simple scenes to get started to how-to directions on adding structural elements and customizing results. Color photos throughout make it easy to produce notable polished results with this book as a guideline.

This book has Simple Landscape Scenes and photos for inspiration.
Start to finish instructions are very clear and easy to understand with a list of materials needed to complete a project.
