Bonnet Girls: Patterns of the Past

Summary: the Best
Review: Helen R. Scott's Bonnet Girls examines applique block designs which present eighteen Bonnet Girls, their children and pets in over thirty interchangeable props and backgrounds. Use this to recreate patterns of the past: each project opens with a color portrait of a finished work and provides pattern templates, materials dimensions and needs, and everything needed for a finished product.

Review: I just received my book yesterday and spent hours looking at it and making templates. I can't wait to start my quilt. These patterns are exactly what I've been looking for and I can see endless possibilities for quilts and wall hangings.

Review: I love applique and these are so great, but I also love to do woodburning and these patterns are great for that too. I especially like the cover girl and have put her on a pillow and will make more pillows as gifts with these patterns. I really like the faces covered with the bonnets.

Summary: Charming and versatile
Review: There is no way to describe how appealing these designs are if you have not seen them for yourself. It is like watching Little Women come to life through fabric. They are in every position and doing every daily chore you can imagine, including dipping their bare toes in the creek. Their gowns blow in the wind, they carry candles or cakes or babies. They fly kites with the children, teach school, offer up a baked turkey or decorate the tree. There are even three male figures to incorporate. Helen uses embroidery floss to appliqué the figures, which outlines all the pieces in sharp relief. She teaches you to braid hair, twist it in a bun or display a head of tousled curls. The pieces are infinitely interchangeable and all the faces are hidden by stylish bonnets. I don't do appliqué and my little girl is grown, but I love these every time I see them.

Summary: Bonnet Girls
Review: This is a very useful book in creating applique design scenes for the bonnet ladies. The book comes with several different bonnet ladies and along with the different ladies come items like the little dog that is on the front cover. These accessorie items make the bonnet ladies come to life. This is not a beginning applique book but for someone more advanced.
