Quilts From Lavender Hill Farm: 12 Projects Inspired by Life in the Country [Paperback] Review

Quilts From Lavender Hill Farm: 12 Projects Inspired by Life in the Country [Paperback]Darlene Zimmerman is a major contributor in the quilting industry. I bought this book because I know this veteran will always teach me something new.And her color combinations are divine.

This book has a chapter for each month of the year, and most chapters include a simple recipe, motivating quotation, or household tip.There is nothing too complicated here, and color schemes range from 2-tone to too fabulously floral.

You might be familiar with Ms. Zimmerman's name from some quilting tools she has developed (the Tri Tool and the Recs Tool) and these tools, along with The Easy Angle and The Companion Angle) are featured in the very helpful last section entitled "Tool Tutorials".You might be able to make the patterns without these tools, using some you already have, but they do indeed help trim up and size those triangles and rectangles.

My favorite design is the month of June's "Wild Roses", not only for the color combo, but also for the peaceful photograph of two Adirondack chairs looking over fields and hills.This could almost become a coffee table book if it ever left my sewing room!!
