Combines patchwork, hand embroidery, and hoop craft into one in this eminently helpful volume.-- Publishers Weekly I'm a librarian who quilts and welcome a book on a new way of quilting. There are great explanations of techniques--the one on scant 1/4 seam is the best I've seen. A good book for beginners and also experienced quilters who may have lost their enthusiasm and will be tempted by a small project that is just a bit different.-- Kathy Neivandt, Librarian at Wheelers Books If you want to create a hoop quilt, Hoop Quilts for Beginners is the perfect book for you. However, even if a hoop quilt doesn't match your style, this book will teach you how to quilt very effectively and efficiently.-- DianeReviewsBooks.com This book is everything I look for in a crafting how-to book. Lots of beautiful, colourful photos to follow along with and very detailed step-by-step instructions. You do have to have a basic knowledge of sewing, and need some specific tools, but overall I think this a craft anyone who is interested in sewing or embroidery can get into without prior experience. The book includes 15 hoop quilt projects as well as some bonuses and general instructions that can be adapted to your own imaginative ideas.-- Rachelle Timar, Reviewer at Lyrical Junk What a great resource!-- Kirsten Lauren, Fable or Fiction
