5.0 out of 5 stars terrific for continuour machine quilting, July 3, 2006

By	J. Teeter "quilter" (aberdeen, wa usa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is her latest and greatest for the home machine quilter. I
had viewed this book from another quilter, and just knew I had to\have this one, so I bought 2 of them, one for myself, and one
for another quilter. The patterns are easily adapted for hand
quilting or machine quilting. Several seasonal patterns included
