Pennies from Heaven: Celebrated Quilt and Companion Projects

I love this book. I know it is an older book but the designs are great. The first part of the book is devoted to recreating the large quilt on the cover. The instructions are clear and all the patterns are provided. The second part of the book though shows how to use the individual blocks from the quilt to make other things. The patterns are beautiful and all instructions are provided. Oh, and the patterns are from pages in the book so you don't have to worry about missing cds or extra pages falling out.

I treated myself to this book because I love doing wool applique. After a lot of quilting for "work" I can not wait to start the quilt featured in this book. The instructions and photo`s/illustrations are clear.I would have liked more setting ideas for the blocks, but any experienced quilter can figure that out by them selves.I also like the idea to work with wool and cotton combined.I did not see that before.

Thank you for a lovely book, can't wait to start stitching. Your delivery to New Zealand was amazing.This book is a bit different as is using woollen fabrics for part of the patchwork , but as the availability of these fabrics in NZ will be very hard to obtain and with shipping from US it is a bit too costly, so will try using all cotton fabrics.Diagrams and instructions seem very clear.

Gretchen Gibbons just spoke at our quilt guild in Newark DE. Her work is beautiful and her sense of color is something to see in her work. I love the combinations of fabric and wool in her pieces and have done some wool work using flannel as the background fabric. Now I plan to use cotton after seeing how Gretchen uses it in her work. She is a very talented lady and her book is worthy of adding to your quilt book library especially if you are dabbling in wool projects.

Using the extremely detailed directions, I made this quilt one winter. I used wool felt applique on cotton base fabric - really easy! No needle turning. It was SO BEAUTIFUL! I'd like to make it again, as I sold the first one.

Pennies from Heaven bookit was fabulous I love it and have started making my first one. I want to make the spread on the cover a family keepsake. Excited to get started. . Grateful my friends showed me this and are teaching me. try it ladies you will love it instructions so easy. Yvonne

Im so excited by this book that I want to start right away. I shared it with some friends and they all plan on getting their own copy! The color picture of wool choices is a wonderful tool!

This book is great. Illustrations are terrific and the instructions are clear. You have the option of one large project or breaking blocks out and doing smaller projects. It gives you room for innovation.

The book is very well illustrated and explains in detail the construction of the quilt as well as showing other projects that can be undertaken using the designs. Would be enjoyed by quilters interested in different quilting techniques and is a striking quilt.

Lovely book well illustrated and great patterns. Highly recommend.

Quilt is wonderful and has many different items to make using the various squares used in the quilt.

Es un libro bonito, yo esperaba que fueran aplicaciones de tela, no de lana. Se pueden sacar ideas de sus dibujos.

Très beau livre. Aucun regret pour cet achat. Les modèles sont superbes et même sans connaître l'anglais, il y a moyen de se débrouiller.
