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.
