It's a stitch - Karen Bolesta

Even though today's quilters can have their pick of fashionable hand-dyed fabrics, vibrant colours, and bold, dramatic, contemporary prints, it's easy to understand why beloved old patterns such as Lo-Cabin and Double Wedding Ring have stood the test of time. Quilters will find their creativity challenged as they devise their own interpretations of Schoolhouse. Amish, Star, Basket, and Nine Patch quilts. The 21 beautiful, easy to make projects range from quilts for twin, queen, and king-sized beds to spectacular wall] hangings. Step-by-step directions and hundreds of how-to illustrations ensure that even beginners will complete these projects with ease, while numerous "Sew Easy and Sew Quick" boxes offer in-depth: guidance on tricky situations. "Isn't Quilting a Stitch?" tip boxes add to the fun. Whether the quilt is for the quilter's own home or for a special occasion gift, there's nothing like, home-made, comfortable, snuggly quilt to warm heart and hearth.
