Stitched with Love: A Mother's Quilting Legacy; with CD-ROM [Illustrated] [Paperback] Review

Here are some excerpts from my review of this book. You can see the complete review on the Quilter's Review website.
"...'Stitched With Love' includes clear how-to instructions and recipes. Not only do you see photos of quilts, you see these cute quilts in rooms showing the other projects included in this book. The beautiful double-page photos by Mark Packo make you think you are looking at a decorating magazine instead of a quilting book...."
"Robyn's easy applique patterns look real nice in her vintage fabrics, but I would like to make the quilts in bright colors for baby shower gifts. She anticipated this by including a nursery brights palette along with a country colors palette and a contemporary fabrics palette.
"There's also a teaching video on the CD-ROM, in which Robyn shows her method of needle-turn applique step by step. The best part of this video is that each step is a separate mini-video, making it easy to repeatedly watch just the pieces on which you need clarification...."

336 Ten-Minute Quilt Blocks: to Foundation-Piece, Quick-Piece, NoSew Applique, Stamp, Stencil, Paint & Embellish [Paperback] Review

I purchased this book, sight unseen, because I am a collector of quilt block books. I love reviewing the books and planning my next project, this book, claiming to have '336' quilt blocks seemed to be ideal. Well, I was wrong. Dead Wrong.
The layout of this book is TERRIBLE. It features six eye-poppingly colorful blocks per page which most of which are not pieced, but are merely DRAWN. There are illustrations which claim to be patterns but there are no actual measurements included. Sure, this looks good....But...The reader is left wondering how to put it all together.
I think it is disingenuous NOT to show completed pieced blocks in a quilt block book or measurements. I probably will try to put a couple of the "Tree" blocks together, but I think it will be challenging.
Recommended: No. A good 'idea' book, but not for careful piecers, and certainly NOT easy to complete in 10 minutes!

Rolling Along: Easy Quilts from 2 1/2" Strips : Jelly Roll Friendly [Paperback] Review

This book has a number of good designs, but I think it's misleading to call it Jelly Roll friendly.Very few of the designs would make efficient use of the number of strips contained in a Jelly Roll -- you'd either need more strips, or additional fabric (FQs or something) or you'll end up with strips left over.A much better book, with designs which use the Jelly Rolls more efficiently, is Jelly Roll Quilts by the Lintotts, mother and daughter.I can't remember the mother's first name, but the daughter's is Nicky.It's available here on Amazon.

The United States Patchwork Pattern Book [Paperback] Review

I purchased this book to assist me in making better quilt blocks. However, I was very disappointed that block measurements were NOT given. Block patterns were supposed to be transferred to fabric, but did not include the measurements of each section. This was frustrating if you are a careful piecer and want to make sure each block is the correct size and don't like to trace. Instead, the piecer is forced to trace every section, which isn't practical for larger-sized quilts.
The lack of block dimensions made this book frustrating for me.I would recommend it only for people who like to trace, and don't mind the extra chore of photocopying the patterns, adding seam allowances etcetera before getting started.

Jelly Roll Quilts & More [Illustrated] [Paperback] Review

This book offers a different approach than many of those currently out there on the market, and I found it to be a refreshing change. It reads a little bit like a blog & goes in a similar (but not identical) personal/chatty direction that a famously exuberant male quilter used in his magazine. But it's all Kimberly Einmo. Her unique voice comes across loud and clear. There are tons of us out here who really respond to that. Even my totally nonquilter, non-artistic-in-any-way-shape-or-form sister was impressed. She said that looking through the book gave her more of a sense of what I go through to assemble a quilt, but in a way that made sense even to her. And she liked the recipe for Nuts & Bolts!

I think many quilters are looking for this type of approach to quilting, and Ms. Einmo is "a right person at the right time" to help the process along. If I were a brand new quilter (I'm probably "intermediate"), I would not be intimidated by the book. I'd be encouraged to try some of the quilts, feeling that, as the author says in her introduction, that I had a friend who knew what she was doing right by my side as I worked.

The book appeals to more experienced quilters as well. I'd be willing to bet those quilters will love the quilt designs and be able to find tips that will make their quilting life easier and their quilty outlook refreshed. The fact that the quilt designs don't look "dumbed down" because they employ pre-cuts is huge. I can see an experienced quilter enjoying the simplicity of using pre-cuts, but also enjoying the fact that the resulting quilts don't LOOK simplistic.

Although you don't need to use the tools recommended by the author (a triangle/flying geese ruler and a ruler designed especially for pre-cuts), they are very helpful, making the subcuts so much easier.One of the other many thoughtful touches is that directions are also provided for those who want to use fabric from their stash instead of (or in addition to) the pre-cuts.

Useful book, fresh approach, great tips, very nice designs and impeccable, well thought out directions.Buy it and enjoy!

A Baker's Dozen: 13 Quilts from Jelly Rolls, Layer Cakes, and More (That Patchwork Place) [Paperback] Review

Another well-written book from That Patchwork Place!I admit to succumbing to the temptation to purchase a couple of those Jelly rolls -- but haven't quite figured out what I wanted to do with them.Until Now!!! I now have a whole selection of wonderful patterns! I love that the authors have also included a "stash option" that provides cutting requirements from yardage -- that was a really thoughtful feature that allows the patterns to be used in ways other than if you have those pretty little "rolls" or "cakes". The directions are well written with well-thought out graphics to support the text. The book is cohesive and clear -- which is important when there are so many quilt designers represented!!!I also like the fact that there's a small bio and photos of each of the designers!!It's fun to pick out a favorite pattern (Scrappy Hunter's Star in my case) and then go look up the bio and see what Regina Girard really looks like!It makes it so much more personal.Thank you for a fabulous new book!!

Jelly Roll Quilts [Paperback] Review

I'm an experienced quilter, and teach new quilters, so I'm always on the lookout for a book I can confidently recommend.The patterns are easy to follow, but unless you know what you are doing, you're going to run into trouble.So far, I've only tried the Garden Trellis pattern.I followed the instructions to sew the tube, and came to the point where I had to cut the triangles.The instructions were very explicit on lining the template up on the seams, but did not point out that the triangle template needed to be lined up 1/4" down the tube, not at the end or your blocks would come out too small....something I should have known to do, but totally missed it my first time around.Also something a beginner would have no clue about.

None of the patterns give fabric requirements for backing fabric. Unless you know how to calculate the yardage for the backing, and how to piece a backing, a beginner will be extremely frustrated.Backing is totally missing from the General Techniques section in the back of the book.

My recommendation.....Go for it!....but be very mindful of the minute details, and DON'T FORGET TO BUY THE BACKING!!!
