When I think of embellishing books, I usually think of crazy quilting-like embellishments:  embroidery, yarn, laces and buttons.  These feel somewhat traditional to me. 

This book transcends that feel completely.  Not only does Leah have a fresh take on buttons and yo-yo’s, but she has creative new uses for hand and machine embroidery, plus a whole host of embellishments I would never have thought of.  The Dressing Room Sampler is designed to allow you to dabble with all of her techniques, yet end up with a cute wall hanging.

The beaded trees in Cord of the Woods is playful and cute, as is the Sea Buttons wall hanging that looks like button kelp.

She also has a few pieced quilts that aren’t embellished, but are unique takes on old favorites.  Her Tie Burst is made up of old mens ties, but have a crazy patch appearance with a contemporary edge. 

I think my favorite is Casual Friday which combines fusible and raw edge appliqué circles with couched cording to create a pretty and unique contemporary design.
