SUMMARY- Her collages are colorful and full of charm, and her instructions are clear. She uses blanket stitch around her appliques - my least favorite way of doing applique because I think it looks clumsy(no matter who's doing it or how well it is done). From a distance, you can't really see it, so I don't think that really matters here. I liked her inclusion of buttons and beads that fit the themes of her quilts. There's plenty of eye candy here, too.
