MY THOUGHTS
Mother’s Day is right around the corner and if your Mom is a quilter (either beginner or experienced) you won’t go wrong with giving her the Quilter’s Bible as a gift. The information provided in this book is so useful. 

I love how quilting looks, but beyond the simplest form of quilting I become intimidated. The Quilter’s Bible is written in a way that makes quilting understandable. The graphics are also easy to follow which I really appreciate it and the photography is just lovely.

The author also includes lots of tips to help make your quilting easier. These are found throughout the book in “Bright Idea” boxes. 

There are numerous quilting projects listed and I can’t wait to get started on some.

I’ll be featuring more gift ideas for Mom over the next week. Stay tuned for more great gift ideas.

Cheers,

WINNERS
