SUMMARY- I'm a big fan of clever, and this book has a big chunk of clever scattered throughout it. I love 3D work. I grew up staring for hours at smocked corduroy pillows my great grandmother had done for my grandmother, poking and pushing the fabric folds side to side to figure out how the pattern worked. To this day, I collect pillow smocking patterns that I swear I will eventually get to use when I have a house of my own. The eye candy here reminds me strongly of that yen. Mom actually made me a quilt using a folded fabric technique, and she likely picked this one up as that interest developed in her quilting.
