Customer Reviews

My sister loves it

I bought this book for my sister because she has taken up quilting in her spare time. She is reading it now and says it's a "great little book". Full of humor and lots of great suggestions on how NOT to become completely frustrated with your quilting project.

Zen and the Art of Quilting

Another Christmas present read before Christmas! This is perfect for the travelling Quilter to while away a plane trip.

Not Just for Quilters

Like the author's "Zen and the Art of Needlecraft," this book is both educational and inspiring. It relates the basic tenets of Zen to quilting, but you don't have to be a quilter or Buddhist to enjoy it. If you appreciate the history and the personal stories of the craft, this book is for you, providing insight into your ancestors' art or your friend's latest blanket. If you are a quilter, it will give you plenty to think about throughout the creative process!
