The Promise Of Joy
I've been looking forward to this book for a long time...
Don't you just love the title...
Each quilt has a LOT of information. From the concept behind the quilt, fabric tips, handy technique tips, instructions and LOTS of wonderful photos and clear diagrams.
Talk about eye candy, hooly dooly!! All the combinations of colourful fabrics are a feast for the eyes. I feel as though the more I look the more I see. I've been drooling over this book since I got it on Monday and each time I look again I see something I hadn't seen before. A clever border, wonderful fussy cutting, desirable fabrics...
Towards the back you'll find lots of big, clear patterns.
Finally the photo on the back cover.. How beautiful is that quilt blowing in the wind, it makes you want to open up the book and start gazing at photos and planning quilts again.
Yep!! Making Quilts...The Promise of Joy has been worth the wait and is better than I hoped for.

ReplyDeleteThere's no hidden story to the signed copy, I just ordered the book from Material Obsession and I would think Kathy signs all copies. It does make it extra special though. :)
