This quilt book will be a classic in the years to come!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Thimbleberries Book of Quilts: Quilts of All Sizes Plus Decorative Accessories for Your Home (Rodale Quilt Book) (Paperback)
When a quilter is introduced to Thimbleberries designs and fabrics for the first time, it becomes an awaking. Lynette Jensen clearly and concisely gives the quilter tools to create new traditional quilts - easily! Lynette's 25 quilts are a delight to the eyes. Her graphic patterns allow the quilter to enjoy the fun of quilting for themselves or for someone else. Now I look at quilts with a different sense of color, textural delights and simplicity. This is one book that I own but it's not collecting dust. I just keep using it all year long. nChristmas season has a new look, one that lasts all year. Keep in mind that this is a quilting book for many levels of skilled and beginner quilters. Lynette, when is the next book coming out? I can't wait to order it, too.

This is one of the best quilt books I own. It is jam-packed with tips and suggestions and the pattern directions are clear and VERY easy to follow. The quilts are simple, yet elegant. This is a great book to leave on the coffee table for anyone to look at. Lynette Jensen's quilts are beautiful. I can't wait to purchase her latest book.
