This book is more of a sequel to Whitework Quilting that is now out of print. The book itself is more scrolls and designs than any information, but the DVD that comes with it is fantastic. It covers the how to from the Whitework Quilting book and more. Can't wait for her next book to come out.

Karen Mctavish has done it yet again. She never seems to let me down with her easy to follow instructions, and her books are always inspiration for me when I need ideas for another project. A+++++++

Karen McTavish is great at presenting her "Secrets of Elemental Quilting" in a detailed, but easy to understand book. You will enjoy reading about her ideas for machine quilting designs and may even want to try some of them out.
Another great thing about her book is the DVD that is included. You can watch the DVD and actually see highlights of the detailed processes she describes in her book.
Even if you never plan to make a show quilt, you will still be enthralled by the techniques she presents in her book and DVD.

I just love this book, very informative for long arm quilters.

Karen McTavish is a wonderful quilter. I love everything she does. The book gives all kinds of ideas and she shares here wonderful techniques. I hope to own all of her books. The are a great addition to my quilt book collection.

This is a very informative and delightful book. I especially liked the CD with Karen McTavish's demonstrations. Her quilting is fascinating and I have been a fan for some time. I am very thrilled to have this excellent reference manual and will put it to much use.

Great book but beyond by skills at this point. It has some great ideas and suggestions that I can use in a more simplified form.

Karen McTaVish makes trapunto so doable! Great written instructions and an excellent dvd. I always thought trapunto had to be difficult! Karen takes the technique and inspires you to get in there and DO IT!!! Loved the book and the dvd.

I just love this book! It is full of patterns in the typical Karen mcTavish style. Also a brief explenation on how to quilt them. The accompaning DVD explains in more detail. Great book if you are searching for patterns.

IF I COULD quilt like this, i would win every prize at every show! It is a 'drool over these quilts' books. ONe I couldn't really use for how-to. Donated my copy to our local library.
