What people are saying about the book:

Dresden Plates Rock They’re gorgeous. Could I really do it? After reading her book and understanding her construction methods, I found I could! Read the entire article

Anelie, the book is terrific!  The only problem is choosing which pattern I want to make - I've already been through it at least 3 times!!  And the colors - you know, the usual agonizing! The ruler is very clever. I'm looking forward to the class.
