beautiful designs for hand applique, with a spiritual theme and good instructions- If you are looking for inspiration for a meaningful project for yourself or a very special person in your life, this is the perfect book for you!
Quilting Flowers of the Bible.......2007-06-03
Patterns are great and quite different. Explanations are interesting. The projects are done as individual blocks, which is nice. If you want to combine them into a larger project, you have that option as well. I recommend this book.

Minimal Designs, Maximum Back Pain, and Great Vision!.......2001-07-19
Most of the 5,000 plus wonderful rooms designed by Frank Lloyd Wright are not open to the public. Even if you could go behind those doors, you often would find that the original furnishings have been moved, replaced, or lost. This book gives you a chance to go where you often cannot go in any other way to see the best original details of furnishings in 50 of the best. Unlike most architects, Mr. Wright designed in such a way that "the rooms inside would dictate the architecture outside." Even inside, he designed all elements of the room, including floor and wall coverings, art glass in many cases, lighting fixtures, furniture, and where everything should be located. He also specified that those who used the rooms should be limited to bringing in only certain types of objects, and for certain locations. For example, ornamental china was allowed on one ledge of the dining room in Robie House.
In working on furnishings, he had a lot of help. Marion Mahoney often finished his designs for furniture and art glass, and saw them through implementation. George Niedecken was often called upon to execute conceptual designs of furniture. Artists helped with sculptures and murals. Artisans crafted many of the items that Mr. Wright sketched.
The furnishings were never meant to be considered separately from the buildings and rooms they were to reside in. Yet this volume can help you appreciate these details that are often tiny in photographs of entire rooms.
I have had the chance to visit many Wright homes and buildings, yet this book greatly expanded my understanding of his work.
This book is primarily focused on furniture, but has a number of important art glass and decorative arts examples.
Mr. Wright designed what have to be the most elegant, minimal chairs . . . and the ones that were probably the most painful to sit in. I had a hard time appreciating the design while thinking about how impractical they are. Well, every genius has limitations . . . and chairs were that for Mr. Wright.
My favorite furniture examples in the book were the print table from the Oak Park house, Robie winged sofa, Coonley desk, and the Johnson Wax desk. Of the art glass, I liked the Roberts window, the Luxfer prism glass, Thomas vestibule, Dana windows, and the Tree of Life window. In the decorative pieces, I enjoyed the pedestal and butterfly lamps, and the glass-faced "golden" mortar.
As you will see from the examples, each one loses a lot by being seen in isolation from the rest of the room. Ms. Maddex does a nice job of describing each item or ensemble in a half-page essay covering the 50 subjects here.
The photography is superb in the 67 illustrations, including 64 full color plates. That's quite important because you will not usually be allowed to photograph these objects, even if you do have the good fortune to see them in a Wright home or public building.
After you finish examining the items you like best, I suggest that you think about what qualities furnishings must have in order to improve the quality of your life. How well does your best furnishing do so now? How can you make that furnishing ease your way into natural living even better?
Relax . . . then, see, touch, and enjoy the beauty all around you!
Frank Lloyd Wright Excelled at Designing Interior Details.......2000-06-14
Diane Maddex's 50 Favorite Furnishings by Frank Lloyd Wright is a sensual, visual experience. This book has three sections dealing with furniture, art glass and decorative arts. Frank Lloyd Wright excelled at designing the furnishings of the rooms in the famous buildings that he created. The photos show the craftsmanship and pure beauty of the each form. The author has done a admirable job of selecting a wide variety of pieces to share. I hadn't understood that every item that was inside the house was just as important as the exterior design to Frank Lloyd Wright before reading this book. With that sort of attention to details, it is easier for me to understand why Frank Lloyd Wright stands out as a creative genius. I bought this book for inspiration and ideas for decorating a new "Prairie Style" house. Thanks Diane Maddex for helping me dream.

Dining with Frank Lloyd Wright.......2001-03-30
"Frank Lloyd Wright's Dining Rooms," by Carla Lind, is one of a series of "mini-books," each of which spotlights a particular facet of Wright's amazing career. This volume contains many excellent full color photographs of dining rooms and furniture designed by the master architect. Other useful features in the book are Lind's interesting text, a series of sidebar quotes from Wright and others, and a bibliography.
Lind describes how Wright's dining rooms, over the course of his career, mirrored societal changes. Houses pictured in the book include the Rosenbaum house, Taliesin West, Fallingwater, and others. Each photo demonstrates Wright's mastery of color, space, form, and light. If you are interested in the work of Wright or in home design in general, you might really enjoy this book.
For Frank Lloyd Wright fans, this book is a must........1999-01-13
My wife and I are big fans of Arts and Crafts decor and are currently planning to build a timber frame home in which the designs seen in this book will definitely be an influence on our design. The interiors in the book are warm and inviting and are definitely not run of the mill. For Frank Lloyd Wright fans, this should be a part of your collection.
Book Description
From built-in furniture to lighting, textiles, tableware, and mosaics, this book introduces readers to the wealth of interior objects that bear the Wright imprint. Not afterthoughts, but parts of the architectural whole, Wright's furnishings and decorative pieces created a sense of repose--the key in his mind, to a proper home.

The artistry of Frank Lloyd Wright.......2001-03-31
"Frank Lloyd Wright's Furnishings," by Carla Lind, is one in an excellent series of "mini-books" about the work of this great architect. This volume is devoted to the various items that went inside the houses designed by Wright. The book reveals Wright to be not only a skilled architect, but also a master of interior design.
This book contains many of the praiseworthy features of other volumes in the series: a concise text by Lind, a treasury of wonderful full-color photographs, and an interesting series of sidebar quotes from Wright and others. The book covers many topics: bedroom furniture, dining room chairs, office furniture, lighting fixtures, cut stone decorative panels, and more. Lind also makes mention of some of the craftspeople who collaborated with Wright on these furnishings. Overall, this little book is a fine tribute to the work of an architectural visionary.

Divorce. Once the lawyers get into the act, the blood really starts to fly, and if there are children, things can get endlessly worse. This workbook from Nolo Press is a thorough approach to a do-your-own child custody agreement. If there's any chance you can work together (and there's information about negotiation and mediation here, too) this book will help you avoid a costly and adversarial situation. At the very worst, the information and worksheets will help you define the problem areas--the areas you want the lawyer sharks to attack first.
Customer Reviews:
very comprehensive; lots of resources; user-friendly!.......1998-04-21
This is a self-help book for parents dealing with custody issues, which encompass residence, decisionmaking and child support. The book deals with more than 40 custody issues in a step-by-step fashion, utilizing worksheets and forms (for calculating child support, etc.) and is very comprehensive. State-to-state variations in pertinent law would require further research by the reader, as they are covered in only a sketchy way here. (However, the author provides guidance in doing the necessary research.) Nontraditional families (e.g., homosexual parents) and intercultural marriages are included and their situations given due respect and consideration. The material is presented in a readable and nontechnical style.The number and complexity of issues that must be dealt with in creating a parenting agreement would overwhelm most parents attempting to reach agreement on their own. The book's subtitle seems to imply that this is possible; however, the author does strongly recommend the assistance of a mediator, arbitrator, or lawyer in crafting a parenting agreement. The book is so user-friendly that some parents might be tempted to proceed without help from a third party, but it would take two very committed and patient people to navigate this process, using only this book. The best use of this guide would be to help parents who are working with a mediator to come to the process as prepared and as knowledgeable as possible, so they can participate intelligently in creating a parenting agreement, in spite of the painful and emotional situation they find themselves in. And, although not the target audience, mediators, lawyers, or other professionals assisting in parenting agreements can find sound advice and helpful suggestions here.

Customer Reviews:
Solid.......2006-04-29
Mimi Lyster presents in a very even handed way. I felt comfortable taking her advice. The worksheets made it apparent that we agreed on more than we disagreed on. The fill-in-the-blank samples of the parenting agreement brought us through the process without either of us feeling manipulated. Buy this book.
A civilized voice in an uncivilized battle........2005-08-15
A voice of reason for those willing and able to listen. If you are able to remain calm and fair you may be able to keep the situation stable. The 6 page Index is well organized and the book is worth the $20.00.
Valuable Only if you agree to agree.......2003-05-12
If the other parent shows up with this book it MAY WORK OUT. If you see the other side as being abusive and uncooperative, that's probably how he or she sees you. This book really tries to help in reaching an agreement, but you will probably end up asking the court for help.
Very Helpful, Even If You Can't Agree.......2001-05-05
I found this book to be very helpful in explaining the practical terms of raising a child or children after divorce. My ex is abusive and was uncooperative in reaching an agreement, and I ended up seeking relief in court. However, I found the worksheets to be essential for putting into concrete terms what it was that I wanted for my son. In addition, I would say that most situations are not like mine, and if your ex-spouse is somewhat reasonable this book will provide the essential tools for creating an agreement with or without going to court. It features one of the best written fill in the blank samples of a parenting agreement I've seen anywhere.
