I love Joyce Mori's work, but even discounting that, this books offers fresh designs of interest to sewers, quilters, painters, beaders and those doing embroidery that are ethnic in nature yet fresh and defined. They invite and even leave room for customization. I could also see these designs painted on furniture and clothing...

i cannot tell you how impressed i am with joyce mori's work. i have two of her other books, which are also inspiring. this wonderful new book of designs taken from around the world and throughout history will inspire quilting and applique, and beadwork, and embroidery, and maybe even stencilling. the designs come from borneo to norway, from the bronze age to the 1890s, from pottery, cloth, carved wood, metal work. many are shown in more than one arrangement, some have been developed into continuous line designs good for machine quilting. all the designs are broken outlines, to suggest hand quilting. this particular volume does not have finished examples of quilting or applique. this is a fantastic resource for any designer on any level, not just quilters.
