5.0 out of 5 stars Debbie Mumm Delivers Again, May 14, 2004

Any quilt book by Debbie Mumm can be counted upon to deliver certain things: lots of charming designs organized by theme so you can mix and match, excellent instructions, and inspiring photos. This book also gives you numerous small projects you can make for gifts, some really quick decorating ideas, and a nice section on organizing your holiday preparations.
In addition to the specifically Christmas designs with Santas, angels, nutcrackers, and such, there are projects with hearts, tools, fish, apples, and animals which could be made at any time of year. The general directions are excellent. While there are no projects for full-sized quilts, the book has enough information and enough attractive quilt blocks that you could easily come up with one yourself. Contrariwise, if you have a book of quilt blocks and need directions for putting them to use in gift and household items, this book will also fill that need.
Quilters need this book for their Christmas shelf, and people who might like to dabble in quilting can use it to get started.

An oldy but goodie. Things change and then again they don't, just become recreated into something else. Nice to have "original" designs that probably came from an even older version incorporated with the new materials of our time.
