I'm an avid quilter and love many of the quilts offered by Lynette Jensen. I had seen her on TV and she displayed the very quilt on the cover of the book. I ordered the book for the pattern and was very dismayed when I got the book that it didn't contain the pattern. I'm very disappointed that many of the items featured in her book didn't have patterns to go with them. In the back of the book what how to order them making me feel as if I purchased a catalog more than anything. The craft projects she did feature I found most to be generic.

The book is decent for decorating and a few craft ideas but don't buy the book thinking you can making everything in it without buying more books or patterns.

I ordered this book, hoping to get the pattern for the Prairie Pines quilt (featured on the cover). Boy you can imagine how disappointed I was to find this pattern NOT included in the book. Instead the book seems to be devoted to home decorating tips, a few lackluster recipes, and a few small wall quilts.

While I will probably make a few of the wall quilts included, I'm disappointed that I will have to buy another book to get the pattern I want. This book is fine, but misleading... I was hoping to get started on my holiday quilting. Now I will have to wait until next month to buy the book with the right pattern.

I received this book from one of my sisters for an early birthday gift and enjoyed it greatly! Lynette is a very talented artist and decorator! Next Christmas, along with a friend, I will be decorating a kitchen of an 1840's home and we plan on "borrowing" several of Lynette's ideas. We especially liked the arrangement of the bowls and thought it would be a clever idea for the pantry. Thanks for the primer.

This was just a disappointment from the word go. I was expecting patterns and the few that were provided were mundane craft items, and not any quilts at all. This was a hustle pure and simple.

LYNETTE JENSEN'S BOOKS ARE A REAL JOY. SHE HAS A WAY WITH FABRIC AND DESIGN AND DISPLAY, THAT WHEN YOU OPEN HER BOOKS, YOU CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED ON ONE OF HER QUILT PATTERNS, PILLOWS, OR WALL HANGINGS. THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE EASY TO FOLLOW AND EVEN IF YOUR A NOVICE QUILTER YOU CAN SEW HER PATTERNS. I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK AND PICKED UP SOME OTHER GREAT DECORATING IDEAS AS WELL AS WONDERFUL QUILT PATTERNS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, MRS. JENSEN.

I love this book. It has great decorating ideas for the perfect country Christmas!! Thimbleberries is a must need book!! Look for other Thimbleberries books at your local library. And let the decorating begin!

I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing. I especially wanted the pattern for the quilt that is prominently shown on the book cover only to discover it was simply mentioned as the author's first pattern for Thimbleberries and no pattern was included. There were other quilts shown as well that didn't include a pattern. Even with directions and patterns given for the other crafts and baked goodies this book was, overall, very disappointing.

This is my first Thimbleberries Quilt Book purchase and i can't wait to start using it!! Great and easy to follow directions and beautiful quilts to be made!

Very nice book. I cannot wait to make some of the patterns. Thanks again.

I ordered the 2006 Christmas book. I received the 2000 book. I was told it shipped the day after I ordered it and did not receive it until yesterday.
