Amazon.com Review:
For years the talented folks at the Muppet Workshop have been turning out characters that are adored the world over. And it seems the Muppeteers are also quite adept at making friendship quilts to mark special occasions among their extended family. From this tradition has sprung Quilting with the Muppets, a celebration of Muppet characters and the humans who create them. Each of the 15 quilt block projects features a different Muppet, with brief directions for reproducing it in fusible appliqué. The quintessential furriness and dimension of the puppets read instantly in many of the blocks as shown, made as they are with fake fur and sculpted foam, but since the very basic instructions explain only flat appliqué, some readers may be disappointed. Still, the personalities of Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Oscar, Big Bird, and the rest of the gang shine through clearly even when rendered in simple fabric form, and Muppet enthusiasts will enjoy having good templates of the characters. The book's second half documents about two dozen of the delightful friendship quilts made by the Muppet artists. --Amy Handy

Received book after 12 days when it should have been 3-5 days! Book was listed in good condition with no remarks. When looking through the book, a MUCH needed page is missing. Very disappointed in shipping method and description of the condition. Other than that it is a great book.

Apparently, it is a tradition among the artists and craftspeople in The Muppet Workshop to make friendship quilts to commemorate special occasions (births, retirements etc).

Because the different quilt blocks were designed and made by different artists, ... Read More

My sister got me this book for my birthday in May. I have some experience with basic quilting, but have never done applique. It is December now and I have made all nine sesame street character blocks in the book and they turned out GREAT! They were EASY and FUN! I subsequently taught my sister, who has no sewing skills, to make the blocks and she has made some of the muppet show patterns already. We are having so much fun and my 6-month old daughter is already fascinated by the bright, multi-textured ... Read More

I bought this book a year ago and finished 2 Sesame Street quilts for my children for Christmas. The book gives a lot of great ideas. I did not use all of the templates that were provided but purchased a kite that had better scale characters to recreate. The stories about the quilts the author made are fun.
