Product Description
Product Description
Following on the tremendous success of quilting bestseller "Fabled Flowers", Kumiko Sudo's new book features 30 completely new fabric origami designs. Returning to the ever-popular floral motif, these stunning quilt designs showcase Kumiko's incredible range, in the vibrant, glowing colors that are characteristic of her work. Each block combines simple piecing and applique techniques, showing even beginning quilters how to make perfect three-dimensional flowers. All are complete with step-by-step drawings, easy-to-follow directions, and full-size templates. There are also assembly instructions for six beautiful floral quilts. The introduction explains the inspiration behind Kumiko's designs. A special section on ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging, demonstrates the similarities between Kumiko's contemporary quilts and that traditional art form. Kumiko's first book on fabric origami, "Fabled Flowers", is one of the top-selling books in the quilting industry. Kumiko's flowers can embellish not just quilts, but all kinds of sewing projects - fashions, home decorations, children's wear, and so on. This book includes more than 100 stunning color photographs of quilts, fabric, and fine handwork. Kumiko Sudo is an internationally acclaimed fiber artist. Kumiko's work is today known and respected in the United States, and her quilts are in several fine public and private collections, including the Museum of American Folk Art in New York.

This Book Doesn't Disappoint, 9 Nov 2002
By Barbara Miller - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fantasies and Flowers: Origami in Fabric for Quilters (Paperback)
Many craft & quilting books are disappointing once you actually read through them. They will have one special item (usually shown on the cover) and the rest is the same old thing, tired from repetition in every other book on the market and rehashed once again. This is not the case with Kumiko Sudo's book, "Fantasies & Flowers". Every page, every pattern was new and delightful with beautiful photography and color reproduction. I highly recommend it as an innovative addition to your quilting library.

Inspiring, 2 April 2002
By Anna M. Stevenson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fantasies and Flowers: Origami in Fabric for Quilters (Paperback)
A beautiful book, with story-like descriptions that go along with each design. I'm an intermediate sewer/quilter and found that while giving easy-to-follow instructions, Kumiko Sudo also leaves plenty of room for the imagination, and her designs are sure to spark creativity! I've successfully completed two different blocks: they're enjoyable to make and a pleasure to contemplate once finished. This is one of my favorite quilting books - one I'll use for years and years, thanks to the quality of the designs and instructions.

I LOVE IT!, 23 Aug 2001
By Mariann Miller "memline" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fantasies and Flowers: Origami in Fabric for Quilters (Paperback)
Beautiful book with clear instructions and wonderful choices. In fact, the only problem is you have to choose what to do first. Well, the other problem for me is finding the delicate background fabrics Ms Sudo uses. Whatever happened to small printed white background material? I'll manage and so will everyone who trys one of these patterns. They will have fun and I can't imagine these not being gorgeous whatever material someone uses.
Listmania!
