beginning to quilt at 70!

being an OAP and very much long in the tooth, I was very much taken with this book as it was so helpful to me in that i could easily follow the instructions given and I have managed to make several lovely items which I have entered in exhibitions and a few of my quilting friends have also purchased this book.I did meet Barbara Chainey in Malvern last year and she was very helpful to a complete beginner. I look forward to seeing her again this year to thank her in person for the copy of a quilting pattern which has turned out really well in one of my quilts.

More quilting than patchwork

This book is wonderful if you are looking for a quilting book. It has a lot of techniques and patterns for actual quilting (not necessarily patchwork). It is for machine and hand quilting. I have seen other quilting books and this one is good. The work done on the projects can be applied to many different projects. I would highly recommend it to a beginner, intermediate, or advanced quilter.
