MUST BUY this one! After you read it, you won't let it go.

You'll want to start this project right after you read. This is the same quality as LANDSCAPE QUILTS with Nancy Zieman & co-author- the Best Quilts on earth.

Most beautiful reverse applique gated gardens, clear instructions with pictures, and paper TEMPLATES to help you get started. How to arrange colors for a garden, even mountain-scapes and stain-glass like designs included, and you don't have to include the gates if you don't wish to.
There are pictures to inspire as well as a couple projects to start with. I am keeping this one next to my bedside!

Enchanted Views: Wrought Iron Designs

This book really helped stretch my abilities to make a unique and one of a kind wall hanging and quilt for my collection.
I really recommend it for the directions are easy to follow to help you create your romantic scene.

Demonstrates examples of appliqued garden gates

Window views and garden scenes may be created with fabric and thread using Enchanted Views, Dilys Fronks' "user friendly" guide which demonstrates examples of appliqued garden gates, windows, grilles and more. Projects include patterns and instructions for a range of projects and skills levels, and are loaded with photo examples.

Lovely book

Strong graphics and clear instructions make this one of my favorite quilt books. The gates are lovely, and give you the idea that you really are wandering into a secret garden once you have one of these hanging on your wall. I am researching the gates and rails of New Orleans, looking for the perfect one to use for a special piece of fabric I want to use to make one of these lovely quilts. What fun!

Quilting with a difference

The ideas and techniques in this book are so unusual and make you want to start cutting up fabric straight away. However, although not too difficult, you'll need to be a little experienced to achieve what Dilys has done in this gem.
