Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This small book, written by the host of Simply Quilts on Home & Garden Television (HGTV), focuses on the technique of hand quilting. Anderson includes instructions for five wall hangings and one quilted pillow designed to build the new quilters skills without requiring a major time commitment. The author quilted each of the projects in under ten hours. Detailed color photographs of the quilters hand show each step of the quilting process clearly, for both the right- and the left-handed quilter. A good choice for even the smallest public library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant instruction on hand quilting., January 8, 1999

By A Customer

This is probably the best book I have found that gives instruction for hand quilting. The color pictures give very explicit instruction for both right and left handed people. I would recommend this to anyone interested in hand quilting, whether a beginner or a long time quilter. Alex Anderson is one of the best teachers and supporters of quilting. She does an excellant job with her program " Simply Quilts". I would recommend all her books.

Interesting book. Seemed easy to read and wasn't overwhelming in size and scope of projects.
