I've tried my hand at some pieced quilts in the past and was very interested in this technique using panels. Multiple techniques for enhancing, embellishing and altering panels are shown. My favorites were the more natural scenes (heron, poppies, landscapes) using mainly thread painting and quilted patterns in the backgrounds, but Hughes also covers adding embellishments such as crystals, sequins, lace and more. She also shows how to add 3-D fabric elements which add fun detail and texture. I love learning new ways to express my creativity and expand on the hobbies I'm already involved in.
