GREAT ideas for a different kind of quilt

This book is full of ideas for quilts that are a bit out of the ordinary and far from the traditional. The full color photos show the finished quilts which are a great inspiration. The varied projects included inside the pages give insight to many other crafting avenues as well as quilting. I own many quilt and craft books, but epspecially like the personal touch that these projects afford the quilter/crafter.

Printing on Fabric---Great Fun

I purchased this book, because I was looking for a hobby. Something to use my computer and still be crafty. I experimented briefly with Scrapbooking, but it didn't suit my personality, but this book seemed to. The major problem was the inability to locate the inkjet fixative in my local stores, but after going through the book, it told me how to buy the supplies online, which I did. I did a test project and it worked perfectly. I have not performed any of the projects listed in the book yet, but I've used the book as a guideline and have created my own projects. This is great fun, even though it stresses the HP Printer, it works equally well with my Canon Printer. You can buy inkjet printable fabric sheets in the stores, but I liked this because I am only limited by the printing size of my printer. I can use any fabric, not just the pre cut sizes.
