I got an ebook copy of More Free-Motion Machine Quilting 1-2-3 by Lori Kennedy.  Martingale sent to me as a promo copy that I could review here on the blog if I wanted to.  Well I checked the book out and  liked it.

The bad part about writing a review for an ebook is that I can’t get photos of the things I really like.  I have to only use the photos of the things that are online.  Thankfully there was a picture that showed one of the practice sheets.  In the previous page they showed how to make the arrow design.  Then they offered a practice area.  Personally I wouldn’t write in my book but I would make a copy with my printer and then practice it.  I do like how it is shown how to draft the design on grid paper so that I can “see” it more easily.

The illustrations are good.  They are very step by step.  Which is exactly what I need.  See the spider web design shown here?

…and the kites.

Aren’t the step by step photos great?

I loved looking at the designs and imaging quilts that could use the designs.

My only comment on the book that isn’t completely positive is that most of the quilts that I make, don’t really “match” the quilting motifs.  I make more busy quilts that don’t need the more whimsical motifs.  It was great fun to look at and I’m glad I got a chance to check it out.
