Piecing the Piece O' Cake Way: 15 Skill-Building Projects / 27 Quilts Today's Guide to Quilting Basics Color Choices Made Easy (Piece O'cake) [Paperback] Review

I am a tried and true fan of Piece O Cake designs.I have been quilting for seven years and I have almost all of their books.Although they generally concentrate on applique designs, this book is a very useful guide for piecing. (Piecing is when you sew patches together to make blocks.Applique is when you sew one fabric on top of another, often to make a pictorial design like a flower.-- I hope that makes sense.)
If you don't already have a good general knowledge book on piecing, get this one. They walk you through all of the general techniques quilters should know and in a way that is very easy to understand and is not intimidating.I lent this book to a beginning quilter friend of mine and she read the whole thing and now owns it, too.
If you are interested in applique, the Piece O Cake ladies really know their stuff and have several books covering a wide variety of different applique projects.They have such a positive and engaging teaching style which I have always found encouraging and stimulating.I have completed several of their projects that, if I'd stopped and thought about it for a minute before jumping headlong into them, I might have abandoned because they were beyond what I thought was my skill level.But, these ladies helped me find the confidence in myself to tackle and complete the projects and they break everything down in such a way that you won't feel lost and in over your head.

Garden Club Quilts [Paperback] Review

This book is superb.Mary and Connie combine elements of the main quilt to create other great wall quilts.Plenty of material to come up with your own ideas also!Patterns for a tea cozy and set of placemats are included.
The Sun Block would be sweet made into an "over the door" quilt.The dog block would make a nice throw pillow for the little one in your life.Each block could stand alone as a little quilt.Great for that small area that needs just a little something extra.
These quilts will satisfy the experienced quilter, yet are easy enough for a beginning quilter to enjoy working on them!
If you like Folk/Primitive, you should love this book...
