I HAVE PURCHASED JUST ABOUT EVERY HAND QUILTING BOOK THERE IS, AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY BEAUTIFUL BOOKS, WITH GREAT PHOTOS, AND INSTRUCTIONS, BUT THIS BOOK, WAS THE ONE TO INSPIRE ME TO ACTUALLY TRY MY HAND AND ACTUALLY HAND QUILT MY FIRST WHOLE CLOTH QUILT. THE AUTHORS WORK IS SO MOVING AND BREATHTAKING. HER INSTRUCTIONS, ARE SO CLEAR, AND PRECISE, AND COVER EVERY ASPECT OF HAND QUILTING. I COULDN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED, AND I MUST SAY, IT TURNED OUT GORGEOUS, AND I HAVE BEEN HOOKED EVER SINCE, NOT TO MENTION ABSOLUTELY THRILLED WITH MY PROGRESS! THIS IS A DEFINITE KEEPER! AND WELL WORTH ANY PRICE! ONE OF THE BEST HOW TO BOOKS, I HAVE EVER PURCHASED!!!

i had seen this book reviewed in a quilting magazine, and made a vague mental note to look into it. then, i found it at a local quilt shop, looked into it, and bought it.
the author is an award-winning quilter, and it is her work that is featured in the book. her quilts are breathtaking, varied, and beautiful. the photos and illustrations are first rate. the instructions are detailed and straight-forward. the author assumes her readers have functioning brains and the desire to learn and excel. there are instructions for specific quilts in the text and also many additional quilting designs. the author also includes suggestions for adapting designs to quilting which are very helpful.
highly recommnded.
