Customer Reviews
Innovative!
Casting Shadows is a well-written, user-friendly book that I thoroughly enjoyed! Colleen has a comfortable style of writing that kept me interested in learning more about her fascinating ideas of adding dimension to quilts. The illustrations and directions are clear, and the photographs are amazing. I was fortunate enough to see many of the quilts at one of her trunk shows, and she is truly an incredible quilt artist. I am looking forward to another book from her in the future!
Casting Shadows a review
This book is easy to read, and with great illustrations. Lots of the information can be used in many other ways.The information on Appliqued shadows including using sheers and discharging and painting is very useful and very clearly illustrated. A wonderful book to help you in trying experimental techniques in your quilting.
A Wonderful Book
I have already made a project from this book. I saw the author on TV and ordered the book right after. It does not disappoint and my quilt is gorgeous.
