Review   Michigan Bishop Sewing Council - July 1, 2008
“…Some of them are more simple-the narrow leaves on pg. 39, the one on pg. 70 that looks like a train of spools of tread, the one on pg. 12 that looks like a row of spectators at a parade. There is one on pg. 67 that look like I fell asleep while sewing…Another on pg. 31 would be great on a quilt at someone's cottage-it has sailboats; and my favorite for a kid's quilt is on pg. 44-it shows kids splashing in puddles. If you want some clever, pretty, fancy, or easy continuous designs, take a look at this book. The directions all have the starting arrow, you follow that until you are all the way around your project…I thought some of these would even be cute/pretty on the wide hems of curtin or skirts, or even a toss pillow…create!”

"I so love to be inspired by artisans of such great talent. They encourage a newby to at least try and that's not all bad. The design is so flowing with the elegance waves and falls creating a wonderful peaceful place for the eye to see let's not forget to ebrace within the comfort of this amazing quilt. One appreciates all the hard work that went into the making and accomplishment of  not only peasing the eye but the body as well and that makes for a very successful quilt."

Review   Debra's Design Studio - August 22, 2009
"Laura Lee has taken the 5 basic (or classic) patterns in quilting and in a free spirited way turned them into fun, imaginative designs. Those basic patterns are clamshell, waves, serpentines, baptist fan and the serpentine curve (always used for the feather designs). It was good for me to have the patterns categorized and then to see some of the ideas. Once you have the overall movement of the "structure" under control, then you begin adding interesting bumps and dips to the structure. Inspiration is really everywhere... I don't view the book as a "pantograph" styled book where you follow the designs/lines exactly but more as a jump start for some of your own imaginative ideas..."
