Ruth B. McDowell's Piecing Workshop: Step-by-Step Visual Guide Indispensable Reference for Quilters Bonus Projects [Paperback] Review

Ruth B. McDowell's Piecing Workshop: Step-by-Step Visual Guide  Indispensable Reference for Quilters Bonus Projects [Paperback]Unfortunately I missed out on a live workshop with Ruth and sent my best buddy in my place instead. She LOVED it!!! Even though I tried to practice her techniques in her other books, I never quite 'got it'. I guess I'm just more of a 'show me what you do' kind of person.
This book changed all that and I made her sugar maple quilt quickly and easily and I'm thrilled with the outcome! Also, with her guidance on inset seams, I finished a difficult navajo quilt that had had me stumped because I couldn't get the seams set in just right. But with her latest book, it was like having this amazingly talented and wonderful lady right there with me! She is such inspiration, her quilts are outstanding and absolutely fabulous! Thanks Ruth, -can't wait for the next one!!!

Pieced Flowers [Paperback] Review

Pieced Flowers [Paperback]This book is an absolutely must-have if you are into pictorial quilts and if you are experimenting with paper piecing techniques. If you are like me and love to flip through pages of quilting books for information and inspiration - you will never regret your purchase.
All the blocks in this book are for medium to hard level of experience:complicated and time consuming, but the end product is very rewarding!

If you are trying to find a book that will help you learn the paper piecing technique, this book is not for you. Try Easy Machine Paper Piecing
