Thimbleberries Classic Country Christmas [Hardcover] Review

Thimbleberries Classic Country Christmas [Hardcover]I ordered this book, hoping to get the pattern for the Prairie Pines quilt (featured on the cover). Boy you can imagine how disappointed I was to find this pattern NOT included in the book. Instead the book seems to be devoted to home decorating tips, a few lackluster recipes, and a few small wall quilts.

While I will probably make a few of the wall quilts included, I'm disappointed that I will have to buy another book to get the pattern I want. This book is fine, but misleading... I was hoping to get started on my holiday quilting. Now I will have to wait until next month to buy the book with the right pattern.

The Best Quilts from Thimbleberries: A Collection of 50 Charming Country Quilts and Decorative Accessories [Hardcover]I love Lynette Jensen and Thimbleberries. The problem is if you already own "At Home with Thimbleberries Quilts" and "The Thimbleberries Book of Quilts" than you already own "The Best Quilts from Thimbleberries".Both books are loaded with great ideas and how-to's Lynette Jensen style.I'd buy them both again should they be lost or stolen, I just don't see the need to own two copies! This could be a great value if you don't already have these books in your collection.
