"If you're new to making fiber postcards and ATC's or if you're looking for some new, unique and fresh ways to make them more interesting then you'll love this book.  Gladys gives you creative ways to use unusual items such as wine labels, driftwood, birch bark, sushi wrap and even beer cans to make some wonderfully whimsical and fun postcards, ATC’s and wall art pieces.  Learn how to make kunin felt beads,  easy beading and fabric painting techniques as well as unique ways to finish the edges of your pieces beyond the usual satin stitch.   I was especially taken with her technique for creating fused landscape postcards and the painted hibiscus postcard project.   Easy to follow directions along with clear photos and diagrams insure that the reader will be able to successfully recreate all the projects in this book.

Review   Quilter's Connection Magazine - December 1, 2009
“…for any quilter who likes to 'sew outside the box', this book will delight your imagination and inspire you to create ATC's, postcards, and wall-hangings made from objects found in everyday life. Try your hand at one of the Beer Can Calendar Girls trading cards, or the Fused Landscape postcards-it could be addictive!”

"...There are so many great books with ideas for embellishing so today let’s look at Embellishing with Anything: Fiber Art Techniques for Quilts–ATCs, Postcards, Wallhangings & More Books that include embellishing techniques are always a great source of inspiration because there are so many different ways to embellish on fabric, and I often find that even if an idea as presented doesn’t inspire me so much it can sometimes be just the spark that inspires a whole new series of ideas. Embellishing with Anything has simply tons of great ideas and some little gems such as how to use a sketchbook to capture inspiration, cutting and piecing curves seams, twin needle topstitching, using ephemera and fabric beads, as well as a bunch of small projects including postcards, atc and wallhangings. I particularly love the way she does the little raw edge three dimensional ginkgo leaves. If you’re looking for some great ideas for embellishing, you will love this book.
