This book contains some wonderful patterns for quilts for kids (and you might end up making one for your inner child, too). There are fishes, snakes, geese and pigs; a princess and a dog nap quilt; samplers with farm animals, clowns and faces that can be individualized.

I have made a quilt with the brothers and sisters pattern and it was a lot of fun to play with the different fabrics for the dresses, stockings, shirts etc. It is not a quilt for a beginner, but not that difficult to sew either.

The wonderful color photos that are included always make me itch to try another pattern.

This book is a good addition to my library. As an elementary art teacher, I am always looking for ideas to add to my lesson plan resources. Even when the students are just making quilt squares out of paper, this book was useful. The color pictures, and easy to follow steps, can give even a very meticulous planner, some extra help!

I read "No Dragons On My Quilt" to my daughter about 12 years ago after borrowing it from a library. Of course we ordered our very own copy. Back then we got it in hardback. Our whole family loves the book so much that we tried to order an extra copy for my son a few years ago. We wanted copies for each child to be passed down to their own kids when they were grown. (It is that kind of book.) We were able to get the second copy only in paperback. It is a great book about a child whose grandmother calms his fears by making him a quilt and by just being there for him. My children are 14 and 10 and will never stop wanting this book read to them. It is a classic.

Don't know what baby quilt to make for that grandchild on the way? This book combines a story and a quilt that will last. Imagine having your grandchild read all about the quilt he/she is wrapped up in. I would love to see more books like this.

An incredible book. Really brought tears to my eyes...to rekindle all the memories as a child. Who doesn't have a Grandma or someone special they remember quilting.

What an amazing book! If you appreciate the creative "let your hair down" style, this book is for you. Can you say Peace, Love and Freespirited? Those kids on "That 70s Show" need their costume designers to get this book. The embroidered clothing is so colorful and fun, not making any kind of statement, just enjoying the expression. Macrame dresses, Tie dyed halters, patchwork capes, funky bright tennis shoes, all telling the story of free expression through colors, seemingly free form designs and attached baubles. If you are down, feeling low and in a funk, looking through this book will lift your spirits and make you want to head for the closet and get out those boring jeans and tops and give them real style. I loved the 70s, the jean purses, the torn washed jeans, the joy of the time and this book takes me back to that time with fond memories, wishing I was 16 again and could dress the way I wanted to.

This book is a very good guide to all sorts of transfer methods on fabric for any kind of fabric work. It is very user friendly because the wording is clear and concise with very good full color examples that go along with the text. Troubleshooting hints are included with each method as well a lot of other useful hints. The examples and pictures of the actual work are very helpful in that they show many different applications of each technique and really help to get you thinking of ways to be able to further play with and modify the methods shown. Also, it is very clearly laid out into categories per chapter that make it very easy to use as a quick reference. A reference chart is included in the book telling the basic overview of each technique with information concerning the permanence of the method, fabric types recommended for each method, as well as many other useful info that really make this book very easy to use and covers the basics of most any kind of transfer method you could need. I originally had to buy this book for a fibers class I was taking but it has been more helpful after the class ended because it really was a very easy to use by being very easy to quickly reference with it's clear layout and detailed description of all of the advantages and disadvantages of each of the methods clearly labeled. It is a very good book and would recommend it to anyone interested in any kind of quilt or fabric work.

After seeing the demonstration today on the Carol Duval Show on HGTV, I am definitely ordering this book! What intersting ideas for quilting fabric! Loved it!

From high tech computer photo transfer to the ancient art of leaf hammering, this book is a comprehensive presentation of fabric manipulation and imagery. Avoiding the "cutesy" trap of so many crafts books, this volume is sophisticated and will be useful to artists and crafters of many styles and sensibilities.

Imagery on Fabric is smartly organized by method, rather than individual project, allowing for much more creativity from the reader. Each process is thoroughly explained and accompanied by fabulous photos of work by professional fiber artists as well as hobbyists. Laury also includes a useful list of resources for the various products and equipment that she discusses in her book.

When I bought this book I was just fiddling with fabric and art quilts. Laury and her book singlehandedly motivated me to fully embrace fiber arts as an exciting means of artistic expression.

This little booklet includes drawings and a short text on each page. It tells about Sunbonnet Sue's trying to find the perfect working space in her home. She moves from kitchen to living room and even does a stint in the bathroom... Most quilters will be familiar with this hunt for a space where you can spread your stuff out and be creative.

This booklet makes a nice gift for a quilter, but there is no need to rush out and buy it. Get a fat quarter instead...

This is a little booklet with drawings and a little text. It tells about Sunbonnet Sue and her trip to a quilt show. Most quilters will easily identify with Sue as she goes crazy in the Quilt Mall, loves the exhibited quilts, has a pyjama party and is happily groggy in the end.

It would make a nice little gift for a quilting friend, but if you don't own it, you don't need to rush out to buy it.

I found this book was not as advertised. I expected a variety of methods and products. Perhaps this is all that was available in 1999. There are a great number of products and techniques currently available that are not mentioned in this supposed "handbook" It containes the same info transfer paper packages contain, a gallery of projects and some bad quilting advice. I was very disappointed.

I purchased this book in the hope of discovering a new way of transferring computer-generated line drawings or pictures onto cloth in order to then embroider the images. I had experimented with two types of computer transfer papers and found them totally unsatisfactory for my needs (stitching on rubberized fabric is not my idea of fine art). This book was simply filled with crafty ideas about what could be done with these unsatisfactorily transferred images ... something even worse than T-shirts. I think the rag dolls with photographs of people's faces said it all.
