My granddaughter who I've been trying to teach with hands-on along with book she just wasn't intested. Change she sat down and actually enjoyed the book and was ready to try again! Success it worked out of mass of books I have. Thank you😍😍😍

I always enjoy a good quilt book. This one showed me a great new technique. It was well written and was well edited. It also just a nice printed book.A bonus was the patterns in the book. They were lovely and I want to make all of them. All in all I am pleased with my purchase.

I am working on several projects in this book. The photos and written instructions are very helpful.

Cute book. Photos are lovely. I am a handquilter. This book is more for a beginner. Illustrations are nice and instructions are clear.

Wife loved it and her quilters group really enjoyed looking at it and remembering the quilts from their childhood.

Well, I thought it was a book about hand sewing a quilt from start to finish and this is solely about finishing techniques. There are a few patterns but they are expected to be sewn on a machine and the actual finishing quilting is done by hand. I will use it for finishing techniques but I immediately turned around and bought a book on English paper piecing because that seems to be the only start to finish hand sewn technique these days.I also paid more to get a new book, quickly and in good condition but it arrived bent and damaged. I put it under some heavy books overnight and it looks a little better. Just disappointing overall.

5.0 / 5.0 This book was a pleasant surprise to find and I thoroughly enjoyed all the information it contains.I especially liked the history and photos of vintage quilts that demonstrate so well the timelessness and durability of this way of quilting. I have been hand-quilting (big stitch) my work for the last four years, and I improve every time I take up a needle and thread, but this book really laid out the math of repeating patterns, and how to achieve beautiful hand-quilting without needing to take an expensive workshop or know someone who can teach you. The hardest part for me is always deciding how to pattern the quilting, how to make the repeat fit, and being confident in my application of the technique. The author takes the time to demonstrate how you can audition various ideas on your quilts without marking them, so for all of us scatter-brained neuro-divergent makers, we have another tool in our arsenal when it comes to finishing things to our individual expectations.I will look for more by this author; her writing style is very fluid and informative. The book is not confusing and the technical writing is concise. There are a few small projects in this book, simple makes that will take a supporting role to the quilting, which I appreciate as a maker since I can see the techniques from the book in action. It helps my imagination capture the information and apply it to my own projects.I recommend this one for anyone interested in hand-quilting, especially the big stitch technique, which is my absolute favorite. I read and reviewed this book via NetGalley and was not compensated for my honest review.Until Next TimeMC

A great guild to slow quilting. I learned a few new techniques. The photos of quilts are lovely and inspiring. I enjoyed it.

Great book for someone new to quilting

Love Carolyn Forster's books BUT this is more or less the same as her Utility Quilting.Haven't yet found anything much new.Hate it when publishers do this; it's not the first time I've been caught out like this and unfortunately it probably won't be the last!
