gable428 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Does anyone have the Diana Phillips books? I have a few books to give me ideas on freehand quilting. So far my favorite one is by Sue Patten, but I would like to purchase some more. Any suggestions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I have quite a few of them.....they are a good resource. If you give her a call, she will give you good insight as to which ones to get based on what you know already...... She and I spoke on the phone for quite a while when I ordered my books....she wanted to double check with me to make sure I was getting the best selection for the price.....

moonwoman Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I mean Diane and Jodi bought a line dancing book too. so simple but I\'m not sure I would have ever looked "down the road" to see how something so simple can be so stunning. so many great minds out there!!

Darlene Epp Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Thank you for your comments on the Pocket Guides to Freehanding, most often referred to as "Darlene Epp\'s little books". I\'ve had several calls from husbands lately, purchasing both the Freehanding Guides (set of 3) and the new Heirloom Feathers Guide & Workbook as Christmas presents for their wives. If this is something you\'ve been wanting to get for yourself, let your DH or significant other know. I\'ve found most husbands are very relieved to know they\'re giving something their wives really WANT, and won\'t exchange after the holidays. :cool: If both sets of books are ordered, the shipping is free. You can see & read about them here. http://www.trilliumhousedesigns.com/PocketGuidesToFreehanding.htm The Feather\'s Guide & Workbook, in addition to the traditional Heirloom Feathers, will show you how to do many VARIATIONS that do not need backtracking over the same stitching. You can still get the same "Heirloom" look, but without the stress and a whole lot of dimension and added interest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 I love, love, love all of Darlene\'s books! I received Formal Feathers for Christmas last year (from myself but my DH paid!) Great gift idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene Epp Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hi Linda, I\'m glad you love my books, but I think you may have a different feathers book. Mine weren\'t released until April of this year and are called "Heirloom Feathers ~ Freehand, Formal & Fanciful". The set includes a 68 page "Pocket Guide" and a 63 page Workbook. The cover of the Pocket Guide looks like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Sorry Darlene! Where\'s that embarrassed smilie? I have Sherry\'s feathers book, but I received your wonderful feathers book on my birthday. My family takes hints well! Love your books! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilterkp Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I have to agree with what others have posted -- the Darlene Epps books are WONDERFUL. I got her new feather book for Christmas and it has tons of wonderful feather designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
