This review is from: Ruth B. McDowell's Piecing Workshop: Step-by-Step Visual Guide Indispensable Reference for Quilters Bonus Projects (Paperback)
Unfortunately I missed out on a live workshop with Ruth and sent my best buddy in my place instead. She LOVED it!!! Even though I tried to practice her techniques in her other books, I never quite 'got it'. I guess I'm just more of a 'show me what you do' kind of person.
This book changed all that and I made her sugar maple quilt quickly and easily and I'm thrilled with the outcome! Also, with her guidance on inset seams, I finished a difficult navajo quilt that had had me stumped because I couldn't get the seams set in just right. But with her latest book, it was like having this amazingly talented and wonderful lady right there with me! She is such inspiration, her quilts are outstanding and absolutely fabulous! Thanks Ruth, -can't wait for the next one!!!

This review is from: Ruth B. McDowell's Piecing Workshop: Step-by-Step Visual Guide Indispensable Reference for Quilters Bonus Projects (Paperback)
As with all of Ruth McDowell's books, she is very detailed and comprehensive on her instructions for accomplishing flawless piecing with minimum effort. She also makes you want to break out of all the quilting boxes and explore your own world of creativity.
I really enjoyed the book and will add it to my collection of reference quilt books.

This is a WONDERFUL book. It's so easy to understand, very visual, neat projects, and a great addition to my library. Ruth has done it again with one of her "How-To" books. Thanks for making it so easy for us.
All levels of quilters can use this.
