A Passion for Piecing: Breathtaking Quilts from Easy Paper-Pieced Units; 16 Projects + Award-Winning Quilts [Paperback] Review

A Passion for Piecing: Breathtaking Quilts from Easy Paper-Pieced Units; 16 Projects + Award-Winning Quilts [Paperback]This book by Claudia Clark Myers is the best quilt and design book to come down the pike in a very long time.I have far too many books in my quilt library, and had sworn to downsize.I realized that many of the new books on the market are repeats of what I already have.I have always admired Ms. Myers work, and was excited to see that she had written a book.

I was definitely NOT disappointed. This book is fresh, exciting, and packed with beautiful pictures and galleries, and the instructions and tips are superb.Claudia comes from a background of costume designing, and it shows in her work and instruction. Her method is paper piecing, enabling the quilter to obtain perfect results. Even though it has 16 projects, it isn't merely a pattern book.It encourages the quilter to explore her/his own style and design sensibility.It is loaded with ideas and inspiration.I can say that it truly is a cut above most of the new quilt books I am seeing on the market today.

Do you want to move your quilting up to a new level?Do you love traditional, but want to breathe new life into it?Do you want to move into art quilting?Do you want to find your own style and signature?If so, this book is for you.It is suitable for all levels of adventurous quilting.This talented quilter has mastered not only her craft/art/talent, but also mastered the ability to show and encourage us how to do it.

At a time when I decided to be very mindful of the money I spend on quilting books, I can say that this book gives me more than my money's worth.

Thanks, Claudia.
