A quilt book that has recipes, shower and other types of party ideas is a great idea. I do so love a book with more than one purpose and Quilting In The Country is that type of book. Each quilt brings another recipe for some wonderful food or party idea.

The first quilt shows a quick way to make the Bow Tie Block while the next quilt incorporates handprints! Farther on is a quilt out of Yo-Yo's and buttons. A felted tea caddy, a table runner, a memory quilt, a log cabin square with leaf printing, appliqué fall leaves, trip around the world, and Christmas Ornaments are all in this book to keep your interest going. So no matter what time of year you purchase this book, you will have a quilt and recipe or party idea for that season.

Each quilt is shown on a full page in color and the instructions are clearly written. There are graphics to help visualize what is being explained. There is a materials and cutting list as well. Six pages give you basic quilting instructions if you need a review and there is a resource list in the back if you are having trouble finding a certain supply.

There is no excuse one can give on why not to buy this book. It is appropriate no matter what the season and any quilter will enjoy making the quilts shown.

Jane Quinn's QUILTING IN THE COUNTRY: PROJECTS AND RECIPES TO CELEBRATE LIFE'S SPECIAL MOMENTS presents some sixteen projects from wall and lap quilts to ornaments and table decorations, and is a theme-oriented pick for any who would create unique quilts. Accompanying the quilt design suggestions are tips for parties and holiday celebrations and how to display and use the quilts for maximum advantage.

This is not just another quilt book, but one with beautiful presentations. Each person who opens this book will enjoy the pictures and the great instructions. Just don't eat the recipe results on the quilts.
