The Sewing Room Sampler Quilt: 16 Blocks, 8 Applique Motifs & 1 Stunning Quilt by Yoko Saito

A delight to read and see her wonderful blocks. Her use of taaupe fabrics are so soothing and sent me on a shopping spree to find similar fabrics.Her instructions are clear and precise. I recommend this book to anyone who would like to try this method.

This patter has the best collection of blocks to learn new skills. The price is good for an intrinsic design. It would be nice in bright fabrics or the traditional neutral. Or do as I do just look at the pictures and enjoy the craftsmanship.

Nice

Love all of Yoko's work.

amei, mas ainda nao tive tempo de utiliza-lo

Yoko Saito's work is outstanding. I love her muted colours and hand stitching. This is not a book for someone in a hurry to finish a project...pure meditation.

Love Yoko Saito. Liked this sampler. Just wish there was more.

Great book would recommend

This was a bit disappointing. I know the reputation that Yoko has as a quilt designer and her work is utterly fantastic, but this book was a let down. There are quite a few foundation pieced blocks, which I personally don't like as a technique, and not so many applique or pieced ones. What bothered me was that the tree in the bottom block is crooked, maybe this is so it looks more natural but this would bug me if I produced it. I have made the dresden and will probably make one or two more but overall I wasn't over enamoured with it, I'm not sure why as the finished sampler does look nice. I intended making the whole thing by hand but as the block size is only 6" and some of them have numerous small pieces, I may not do this now.
