Barb Adams & Alma Allen – A Tour of Homes
Dec 17th, 2007 by Penny Haren
In their latest book by Kansas City Star, Barb Adams and Alma Allen take you on a tour of the homes of three of their friends who have combined their love of art and nature with their passion for decorating.Â
The photography is absolutely beautiful so don’t even bother trying to read a word until you have feasted your eyes on the pictures. Once that is done, read every last word to see what you may have overlooked. There is just so much to stimulate your senses – eye candy for the soul!
You’re Invited!

I love to applique so I anxiously await the arrival of their new books. But, I was pleasantly surprised to realize that Barb and Alma did not design everything! They have included projects from four other designers who have their same sense of style, color, and obvious joy for life!Â
The applique quilts are exquisite. Some of them even include a touch of rickrack. When used as stems, it adds just a touch of whimsey to a beautiful quilt. The cross stitch patterns are also endearing. And, when you see them grouped on walls, you’ll want to start a whole collection!
That is the true gift of Barb and Alma – they let us dream.  We too can create this perfect home where peace reigns, stitching is always waiting by the fire, and every bed is covered by an heirloom quilt….one project at a time……
