Thimbleberries Small Wonders: 44 Quilting Inspirations for the Comforts of Home
Today's review and giveaway is a brand new book from Landauer Publishing called Thimbleberries® Small Wonders by Lynette Jensen. This book by Lynette Jensen, creator of Thimbleberries®, includes 44 projects from table runners and wall quilts to book covers and totes. The book is divided into six sections: Table Runners, Table Toppers, Wall Quilts, Baby Quilts, Pillows and Small Gifts. Each project includes clear step-by-step instructions including fabric and supplies, with beautiful color photos to guide the reader in the process. At the back of the book she includes general instructions that new quilters will find helpful, from getting started, squaring up blocks and using grain, to selecting tools and equipment and working with flannel. I really liked the Button Loop table runner. There are several projects I d like to make from this book. I especially like the small gift section. In that section she includes several notebook covers and totes. For someone who isn t real confident with sewing, this is a real good book to start on. It s also a great book if you want to make a quilt project, but don t want to invest the time or money into a full-size quilt. Thimbleberries® Small Wonders: 44 Quilting Inspirations for the Comforts of Home contains 192 pages. --Lynda Heines, BloomBakeCreate.com: July, 2011
