I wanted to get as much information about patchwork and quilting with silk as I could before taking the leap and cutting into expensive yardage to make a silk bed quilt; since all of my experience is in more standard quilting fabrics; and I have been away from sewing for a while. The book description stated "This book uncovers the mystery of silk; and demonstrates techniques for bringing out its cooperative nature" and "Simply Silk provides a unique approach to transforming this delicate fabric into an easy-to-use material." While there are a few tips; there really wasnt a lot of help for me here.If you want to make Mary Jos art projects; it looks like the instructions are good; but most of the projects are "stuff"; not quilts per se. (There are slippers; book covers; and stuffed butterflies (really?); and a lingerie bag. As far as quilts are concerned; there is an art quilt of a period style undergarment; an art-noveau/art-deco wall hanging; and one small (60 x 60 in) gathered throw. There arent any bed-sized quilts at all. (perhaps because it requires so much silk).All in all; it is a nice book if you want to copy Mary Jos projects; and s price at less than seven dollars is great; but didnt meet my needs.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
