Comfort and Joy: 14 Quilts for Christmas (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

Comfort and Joy: 14 Quilts for Christmas [Paperback]Ms. Hickey has written a quilt book for quilters of all levels.While I consider myself an experienced quilter, I enjoyed her tips on how-to pick fabrics and why to pre-wash them.She takes you through all the steps on how to make q quilt right up o adding the label.

The first section has all kinds of helpful sewing and cutting tips which is a great place for a beginner to start.And, like me, even the more experienced can learn/refresh their knowledge with a tip or trick such as using a battery operated mustache trimmer to rip seams FAST!

The next section has 14 patterns from quilts to table toppers to wall hangings to table runners.Each project comes with a materials list and cutting directions.How to assemble the blocks, the quilts and finishing suggestions are given.There are plenty of graphics to go with the directions and, of course a color photo of the finished project.The projects range from simple piecing, simple appliqué, fusible appliqué and finally 3 D appliqué.A final page tells a bit about the author.

COMFORT AND JOY is a book that will be used to make wonderful Christmas presents for many years to come.I will use it when I teach my granddaughter to quilt her first quilt because the instructions are written in simple, straight forward language.With these time-honored patterns, it will be a book to keep and hand down for generations to come.
