Great ideas for Quilting Fillers! — Review by Patty Martin

Overall Rating

The author, Renae Haddadin, was inspired to write this book after she quilted "Fiesta Mexico," an award-winning quilt by Karen Kay Buckley. She had three goals when writing this book: to help you see how different fillers will interact with other elements of the quilt; to give you several examples of new fillers; and to give you several examples of finished quilts using these fillers. I felt she has accomplished all of these goals very well. Several of her fillers are similar to fillers I've seen before, but she shows variations of these that I have not seen before and I really like. (Posted on 1/25/14)

Fill'er Up Quilting Designs — Review by James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief

Fill'er Up: Quilting Designs teaches how to finish quilts and provides a lovely reference for sewing filler stitches. It comes from the author's own award-winning secrets and approaches and pairs oversize photos and a long oblong shape allowing readers to closely study design with patterns and step-by-step instructions. The opportunity to closely inspect the designs makes for a fine guide highly recommended for any who would receive specific approaches to design structure and unique approaches to design. --James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief, The Midwest Book Review, California Book Watch, October 2013 (Posted on 10/22/13)

Fill'er Up Quilting Designs — Review by Kathie R Kerler

This is a great reference for anyone who wants to build a quilting design library. The book is divided into types of designs, such as natural textures, grid work, and feathers and swirls. The close-up illustrations clearly show the stitched-out designs, making it easy to see how to do them. (Posted on 8/11/13)
