Raves and Reviews

M'Liss Rae Hawley is an excellent quilt artist and the content of this book is excellent -- it is a very good guide to color and design. However, the colors in the copy I received were so bad that one could hardley distinguish a dark red from a dark green. The colors in the whole book are dark, deary, and undifferentiated, hardly what you want in a book to inspire you to experiment with color and design. If this is what a POD book delivers, then books on quilting, color, design and anything artistic should NOT be ordered POD.

Beginners seeking a user-friendly quilter's guide will find the vivid colors and unusual designs of M'Liss Rae Hawley's Get Creative! to be inviting. M'Liss provides only 8 projects to serve as a foundation for gathering skills, but each easy project offers important lessons in color and design and offers enough flexibility for beginners to incorporate their own designs and interests. A lovely collection of formulas and stories.

– Midwest Book Review

This book is excellent. I would recommend starting at the beginning and reading through each project. It is set up as a a workbook and one chapter leads into the next. A color wheel is a must and really helps one select the fabric for each project. Not all sales persons in the fabric store have the knowledge that you will obtain from this book.

– M. Ross Feeney

This book is great. I like the format and the clear instructions. Beautiful photos. The price was also great. I like saving money for more fabric.
