I've got Angela's two books in this series, Shape by Shape. (Only difference in the Cover is "collection two" layout is very similar to the first book, don't get confused on that! ). For those looking for a how to book these two books do that with great diagrams showing direction of stitching,traveling and variations. For example, she shows pebbles on p 92,(start with a circle in one direction, then stitch in the opposite direction for the next circle... Shown in a diagram with arrows and tips like" traveling in the opposite direction helps them stick together") and variations like on p. 100 echo pebbles, with a tip like "add a defined look...by going around the first inner circle a few times before echoing..." then she throws in some pebbles without any echo in-between those echoed pebbles, a variation that's a combination. She also clearly shows traveling which is a repeated stitch over to get into position for the next step. I found by repeating over the pebble on any of my non-circular pebbles that I finally was able to execute the pebble better and then my next pebbles came out circular the first time! So her tips are very useful in learning a new stitch pattern. I also found her overall book structure of stitching in shapes very helpful in figuring out which stitch to use in what area of my quilting. I tried out some of her diamond (3&5) stitching, on a diamond "kite" shape (not as symmetrical as the diamond shape) for example and ended up with my own variation on it! She also has online videos that really helped me understand to slow the speed way down at first. While it says 70 + designs for marketing, not really all those are original but with the variations the reader can see how small changes make it look totally new! Very well written and an easy to use guide! Love it! Thanks Angela!

Best Free Motion Quilting Books in My Library
Great book for any level of quilter! This is my third book by Angela Walters and I love them all! Since my quilting room and library are totally full of books, I have ordered this one and the first SHAPE BY SHAPE book in Kindle format. Cheaper and easier to lay on the quilting table for a guide. Angela's common sense , completely unpretentious language and advice all appeal to me. She simplifies what others have difficulty explaining and can express her ideas so well that even beginning free motion quilters (I was one before her first book) can follow. For those quilters of any level who have difficulty in planning how to actually quilt the quilt, her books are invaluable. This one does not disappoint as it expands on the possibilities. I have used several of her suggestions in quilts and been very pleased. She makes everything look so easy and so it is with a little practice. Attached is an example of straight out of the book quilting (back side).
