Review

You can tell wool appliqué is just exploding on the appliqué scene by the fact that so many of the new books are wool appliqué themed. My Enchanted Garden - Appliqué Quilts in Cotton and Wool is one of those exceptional books. Gretchen Gibbons designed her quilt "My Enchanted Garden" using wool, cotton, beads and embroidery. It won the blue ribbon for "Best Use of Embellishment" in the 2009 Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza. Patterns in the book are for all [of] the 9 blocks found in the quilt. There are also 8 stand-alone projects. Gretchen spends a great deal of time discussing wool and how to work with wool including felting and collecting. Wool appliqué techniques are also covered. Hints and tips are sprinkled liberally throughout the book. One of my favorite types of patterns is those that are filled in with color, not just the outline of the shape. This helps when you start to select colors for your blocks. All the patterns for the quilt will need to be enlarged 200% to use them full size. The patterns for the projects are printed at 100% and will not need to be enlarged. You will learn a lot from Gretchen's book as you learn to mix cotton and wool to give your projects added depth, richness, contrast in texture and color. --The Applique Society Newsletter, May/June 2014

My Enchanted Garden: Appliqué Quilts in Cotton and Wool is the beautiful new book by author, teacher and quilter extraordinaire, Gretchen Gibbons. Gretchen takes us on an appliqué journey through nature and our surroundings.



The main project in this book is called "The Enchanted Garden", which is just a breath taking quilt. Inspired by a nineteenth century quilt called "Birds of Paradise", Gretchen takes us through the steps to create our own "Enchanted Garden" quilt. From the basic appliqué instructions, to choosing fabrics and actually making our own wool felt, Gretchen covers all of the general sewing requirements right at the start of the book. Excellent images are also included with the instructions, which assist those of us who like to learn through images. The projects in this book are created with a combination of wool and cotton fabrics - then finished with beautiful embellishment. After creating "The Enchanted Garden" quilt, the sewist has the opportunity to create a number of other, smaller, projects in this same appliqué style. Projects include a purse, pillow and numerous smaller wall quilts and blocks.



My Enchanted Garden: Appliqué Quilts in Cotton and Wool is an excellent resource and is a wonderful addition to any sewing library. --Anorina Morris, Samelia's Mum Blog, April 2014

This quilt is nice enough and there are a number of other designs ...
This negative side of this 3-star review is entirely my fault. I didn’t look closely enough and assumed this would be the same quilt offered as a BOM project by many online quilt shops. I didn’t want to pay the costly price of pre-cut fabrics and monthly block projects and assumed this finished quilt would be the same as those. However, after receiving the book, I discovered that it was an altogether different quilt. This one was designed by Gretchen Gibbons and the other (after post-receipt research) was designed by Jason Yenter. The photo on the left is the Gibbons’ version; the one on the right is Yenter’s.This quilt is nice enough and there are a number of other designs and projects in this book other than the quilt shown in the photo. It just isn’t what I was expecting

These patterns are wonderful and will make your fingers itch to get busy on one of them. Ms Gibbons uses a combination of wool and cotton, but they could as easily be done entirely in either fabric. They will make wonderful pillows or tote bags if you don't want to do an entire quilt. Be sure to go to her web site where you can also buy kits for some of them if you don't want to have to figure out the fabric choices. The birds and flowers can also be used independently with other applique designs.

What a fun and great quilt design! I can't wait to start my quilt! I'm glad there are quilt designers that like to share their designs with those of us that know what we like, but can't design ourselves. And Gretchen Gibbons is a talented designer! I loved her quilt when it appeared in a quilt magazine after she won an award for it. So I was so happy to see she had made a book about it!

I love wool embroidery and a friend had this book. After looking through it, I decided to order it. Pictures and drawings for templates are quite good. The quilt is very colorful which i like. It is possible to do the entire quilt or just one block and use it as a miniture hanging. Now i have to find time to make this.

4.0 out of 5 stars How to enlarge pattern
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2018

I really want to make this quilt and read from reviews on this site that patterns would have to be enlarged so I knew what I was getting into. Got the book and rushed it over to copier without reading. It is expensive and I also had the book spiral bound. Reading directions tonight and on page 6 buried in the text you can go to shopmartingale and the pages are enlarged and you would have to print 4 pages per pattern and then tape it together. Would save you about $20 for copying. These pages at this site are the correct size if your copier doesn’t enlarge. Actually, if this isn’t your first Quilt you wouldn’t even have to buy the book but you should. The book is very well written and the patterns besides the Quilt are adorable. Plus I think you would be stealing.

This book has the most beautiful and fanciful applique projects I have ever seen. What a fabulous artist !!! I could not get enough of just looking through this book at all the delightful projects---trying to decide which one to make. The colors used are gorgeous as well as the woolens used. One can even order the wool --- what a blessing that is !!! Jean Wells
