I think this book is wonderful for a beginner quilter. I just started quilting about 6 months ago and always refer back to this book for the basics!

Janet Wickell knows how to put the needle and thread in your hand in a book form. What more could you want from the printed word than good directions and positive information? You are walked through the process step by step, with wonderful directions and illustrations. A FIND.

I got this book as a present for my mother who has taken up quilting as she has recently become a grandmother. She loves it and said it was an excellent resource. She had been using another book but switched to this one and said it was better than the one she had been using. She was having difficulty with certain stiches and found this book very helpful in that regard. Highly recommended.
