Customer Reviews

inspiration!
this is one of the best books i've bought for ages - such a relief to find a technically competent and aspirational book, no projects here, just raw and refined inspiration to make your mouth water!
the thought process, artistic journey and treatment of surfaces are all clearly explained and sensitively photographed.

Stunning and Inspirational
I have this book out in my workroom all the time either to try out another techique or idea ....but sometimes just to flick through for inspiration ! The Kemshall's work is stunning =)

You will be inspired!
This book will have you wanting to sew whether you can sew or not you will be inspired! Some of the techniques shown in this book will have mixed media artists drooling nevermind the stitchers! If you only ever buy one book based on quilting or working techniques on fabric this is that book!
