Fabulous book for crazy quilters

I bought this book several months ago to learn how to patch the squares and finish a quilt. It has been a wonderful resource book and very inspirational. There are tons of color photos that show great detail and there are several templates to give beginners some ideas about embelishments. I have made several projects since I got this book and I refer to it all the time. It's a great book to have if you love to do fancy emboidery stitches and crazy quilting. I definately recommend it!

This is the most Complete Crazy Quilting Book I have Seen

I have been doing Crazy Patchwork for about a year now and collecting books for about that amount of time, and this is the best one on technique that I have found. Michler takes you from choosing supplies to finishing techniques. I picked this one up because I was needing to learn some techniques for actually finishing a quilt. This was perfect and also taught me some new ideas on embellishing. I disagreed with a few opinions in the book, but as far as technique goes, this is THE book for Crazy Quilting. If I had had this book a year ago, teaching myself would have been so much easier.

The most complete book I have seen yet!

I have seen many crazy quilting books, but none compare to this one.It guides you from suplies, fabric, methods,embroidery, and borders. The only wish I have is that I had this book before I did my first crazy quilt. Anyone who is starting out should find this book a must, and anyone who wants to learn new ideas should find this book a must.It is a joy to own and one I would never give up.If you need information on crazy quilting this book is the first place to look for the answers.

An excellent resource!!!

I absolutely love this book! It provides a wonderful summary of many embroidery stitches, ribbon embroidery and other techniques possible for embellishments. I would truly recommend it to anyone wanting to start a crazy quilt or to someone who is interested in doing additional hand work on their quilts. It is near the top of my "Best Quilting Books" list.
