FINALLY, a book that understands the hand quilter!
From one hand quilter to another, "Quilting With Style" by Gwen Marston and Joe Cunningham is fantastic! It's concise, down to earth, and LOTS of information on the actual hand quilting Designs! It's about time!! They emphasis the importance of the quilting being as beautiful as the piecing or applique of the top itself. What brings a quilt 'to life' and...

Not exactly a "how-to" book
While this book gives general instructions on machine quilting and it has some interesting quilting pattens, I found it was too long-winded and self serving. It doesn't deal with hand quilting at all. Most of the quilts shown (and poorly photographed) are of the author's making. I will say that it does do a good job of showing how to mark quilt tops with some...

From one hand quilter to another, "Quilting With Style" by Gwen Marston and Joe Cunningham is fantastic! It's concise, down to earth, and LOTS of information on the actual hand quilting Designs! It's about time!! They emphasis the importance of the quilting being as beautiful as the piecing or applique of the top itself. What brings a quilt 'to life' and how to choose your designs to accent your quilt top. It's a MUST READ! Karen Bush, Professional Hand Quilter

My creative juices were nudged to boiling through this book.,
By Pat Braley (PBquilt@aol.com) (New Bedford, Mass.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quilting with Style: Principles for Great Pattern Design (Hardcover)
From page one the reader is engaged in the creative process that brings us to the 'look' of quilts that has evaded us. Not only does Ms. Marston identify the character of quilting that has drawn so many of us to the art and, until now, been miising from our quilts.....she invites us into and through the process. Amazingly simple techniques are reviewed and once implemented, make 'nice' quilts.....'remarkable' quilts. This one is for any quilter out there who's quilts need "something" or is contemplating their first heirloom quilt. It has redefined my craft and creativity.

I will say that it does do a good job of showing how to mark quilt tops with some basic patterns. All in all, I was disappointed in this book. |
