My kind of inspiration July 23, 2008
This is a fabulous book for the person who loves the warm country style of quilting and Kim Diehl has excelled herself in the use of her colour palette in her fabric choice. Simple through to something more challenging, you will be sure to find something appealing here. Her use of colour and applique has turned traditional blocks into works of art and the photography is to die for! If you're a beginner, there are lots of tips and the patterns are very easy to follow and for those who love to collect scraps or smaller cuts of fabric, this book is a 'must have'! I treasure mine!

Simple Blessings: 14 Quilts to Grace Your Home
For anyone who loves pieced and appliqued quilts, in glorious fabrics, this is the book for them. There are 14 quilts to make, and I want to make all of them!
The photography is stunning and gives one all sorts of ideas on how to display quilts, colours to use. And there is an article on Fabric Selection and Preparation and another on Patchwork Principles. This article covers everything from beginning to end, even how to press seams and pressing triangle units.
Then there is Completing the Quilt Top; followed by Finishing Techniques. Of particular interest to me is Kim's method of Machine Applique.
And then it is on to the stunning quilts. I am gathering my fabric and just about to start my first project and it is called Cobblestones and Cartwheels Lap Quilt - 72 1/2" x 72 1/2". Can't wait to get started!
Beautifully illustrated, well written patterns. July 22, 2007
