Do you have a little boy who needs a quilt? Then AQUATIC CREATURES is a book to get. Darcy Ashton has taken fish, frogs, turtles and toads and turned them into lovely appliqué quilts.Nine quilts, two pillows and a pin cushion are all adorned with aquatic creatures. Even grown ups can like these colorful animals. There are color photos of the projects and the instructions for creating the items are well written. All the appliqués templates are included at full size.Tips on transferring patterns to fabric, hand embroidery, sewing the eyes, how to do the appliqué, making Prairie Points and making a custom label are all covered. If you purchase the book from Ms. Ashton’s website http://www.ashtonpub.com/index.htm, she will autograph it and put a little extra something in as well. It could be a note card or a single pattern or a sample of Steam-A-Seam.Christmas is coming so now is the time to get started on a project for your favorite fisherman, someone who has an aquarium or that special little boy. This book will guide you through the process of making that special gift.
Actually, I have taught many people to sew quilts who have said that very thing. Now they are making beautiful quilts. One gal is in her 80's and has been doing this for less than a year. Her last quilt sold for $90 at our annual auction.
