 Kimball is a favorite December 25, 2005

I don't keep every quilt book I buy, but this one is a keeper. If you're a hand quilter or want to be, you will benefit from this book. Ms Kimball is one of my favorite applique and quilting people. I always learn something new from her. This book is no exception.

With hundreds of quilting books, I didn't need another one. But since Jeana Kimball's needles are my favorite, I took a chance. Wow!! How did she get so much information in 80 pages? She covers quilting through, around, and for applique, popular designs for the body of the quilt as well as the borders(both historical and modern), and tools. Every step is punctuated with a glossy color photo example of an actual hand-made masterpiece. And Jeana is classy, when she discusses needles, she doesn't even mention her own.
 How much is there to say about Hand Quilting? February 15, 2000
24 out of 30 found this review helpful
Just a couple of pages in this book are actually about the process of quilting itself. There is a long part about the history of quilts (quite good if you are interested in that), a gallery of quilts (beautifully quilted) and general instructions on materials and planning a quilt. The author also tries to explain how to make a quilting design fit the size of your own quilt but that is done very poorly. I have seen much better instructions in other books. The quilting part is okay but it is just a few pages. This is definitely not a book every quilter needs even if you prefer hand quilting to machine quilting.
