5.0 out of 5 stars Country But Not Too Cute, August 3, 2000

By A Customer

I love to buy quilt books, perhaps it's an addiction. This is one of the few books I will read over, again and again. There is a real warmth to her colors and her quilts, without being too cute (like Debbie Mum). I could even make one of these quilts for my 18 year old son without complaints. Even if you don't quilt, I think you would enjoy seeing how she incorporates her quilts into her decor. If you do quilt, even better! Your only dilemma will be in trying to decide which quilt to make first.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for both novice and more advanced quilters, November 19, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: At Home with Thimbleberries Quilts: A Collection of 25 Country Quilts and Decorative Accessories (Hardcover)

Excellent instructions along with beautiful sample pictures add up to a well-rounded book for all quilters. Lots of projects from the simple to more advanced, small to large. Good info on use of color, pattern, etc. A great reference area on basic quilt construction from cutting (rotary) to binding. I have made several projects already and am very pleased with the book. Lynette also includes a section on decorating your home with your quilts.
