5.0 out of 5 stars Great Christmas gifts for a beginning quilter, August 25, 2008

By	Barbara Rhoades "Jackie of all Trades" (O'Fallon, MO USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Christmas 2008 is sneaking right up on us. If you need an idea for a gift for the season, this is a good book to have. It jumps right into the projects of which there are six.

A photo of the project, a skill level and the finished size start the directions. A paragraph about the project is next, followed by a materials and cutting list. These are written clearly. Making the quilt is the next set of directions and contains graphics to help you understand the written directions. Templates are provided but need to be enlarged. Finishing directions complete the pattern.

Tips are found throughout the book in a box with a red and white striped top. Beginner and Intermediate are the skill levels for the projects so you don't need to be a 20 year veteran to make any of these. The projects range from a card holder, to a Tree Skirt to a quilt. Each author has a good sized paragraph about how she got where she is.

Grab this book now and you will have wonderful presents to gives when the Season arrives.
