This book would be a compliment to any public or school library. The author seems to have done thorough research on each president represented and it makes for a very good resource for any student doing a book report. I am extremely impressed with the artistic portrayal. The likeness of each president is very lifelike. If you haven't already seen this book, please review it yourself. You will be pleased.

Redwork is experiencing a revival and taking the quilting world by storm. There are several good books available today dealing with redwork embroidery quilting but none quite like "Presidential Redwork: A Stitch In Time." The author approaches the subject from a new perspective and includes the whole family in the experience. The book features all 42 U.S. presidents in easy to embroider redwork patterns, updating a form of redwork quilting popular at the turn of the century. Also included are bonus patriotic patterns such as various American eagles and U.S. landmarks. While the book isn't being used for quilting, the family can read the interesting biographies on each president, many revealing little known facts about our nation's leaders. Alternatives to embroidery are explored to include children in this fun and historical past-time. Other interesting books on this subject are "Love to Quilt...Penny Squares" and "Favorite Redwork Designs", both published by the American Quilter's Society.

I found this book to be informative, and easy to work with. My quilt came out very nice but it was short George W. Bush. There should be a way to get anupdate of the new presidents.

LOVE IT, BUT PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DRAW GEORGE W. BUSH AND SEND IT OUT TO QUILT SHOPS OR MAKE IT AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET.

LOVE YOUR BOOK... AND LOVE THE QUILT..... ALTHOUGH I CANNOT COMPLETE IT WITHOUT GEORGE W. BUSH( BUSHY AS LAURA CALLS HIM)

PLEASE DRAW HIM SO I CAN FINISH MY QUILT......I NEED IT YESTERDAY.

I saw this book and just had to have my own copy. A wonderful way to demonstrate to young people the real power of America: The peaceful transfer of power.

LOVE YOUR BOOK...... BUT MY QUILT WILL NOT BE COMPLETE UNTIL I HAVE GEORGE W.BUSH (BUSHY AS LAURA CALLS HIM) PLEASE DRAW HIM SO I CAN PUT HIM IN MY QUILT.

I LOVE THIS QUILT AND IT LOOKS EVEN BETTER WHEN STITCHED, BUT WHERE IS GEORGE W.??????? WOULD LOVE TO HAVE HIM ADDED INTO MY QUILT.

EXCELLENT.....I LOVE IT AND HAVE HALF OF IT STITCHED. BUT AM DYING FOR GEORGE W. PLEASE SEND ONE TO ME IF YOU HAVE ONE. THANK YOU.

The patterns for G.W.Bush and Obama are available to download free at the American Quilter's Society website. Do a search of their free patterns to find them. Have fun.
