3.0 out of 5 stars Exquisitely lovely, but lightweight, August 22, 2000

By A Customer

Valori Wells' lavish photography alone is worth the price of this book: her lush, colorful garden imagery will be a very comforting re-read on a dreary winter's day here in New England. The quilt patterns, however, are a serious disappointment. There are surprisingly few quilts to be found among the exquisite portraits of rippling lavender fields and dewy pansies; and of the tiny handful of patterns included in this book, there are only two which I like well enough to attempt.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm not a quilter, but I LOVE this book, August 10, 1999

By A Customer

My daughter bought this book for my most recent birthday and it is absolutely fabulous. I love the garden photographs and the pictures of quilts in neat settings. I may even try to make the quilt on the cover for my daughters upcoming birthday!

5.0 out of 5 stars The beautiful quilts & flowers make this a great table book., July 8, 1999

By A Customer

I received this as a birthday gift and it is wonderful. It offers gardening information as well as wonderful quilt patterns. The quality of this book in content and make-up are worth the money. Amazon has the best price. You won't be sorry.
