Summary: A "Must Have" book
Comment: In an era of "quick and easy" quiltmaking, this book is a breath of fresh air. The authors remind us that the "quilting" of a quilt is just as important as the as piecework and/or applique design. This book will take you through the step by step planning and drafting of your own quilting designs making it unnecessay to rely on retail patterns. You DO NOT have to be an artist to create successful designs. Hurrah! to Gwen & Joe for reminding us of the beauty of the vanishing art of hand quilting. This is my number one reference I reach for when planning my quilt designs.

Summary: My creative juices were nudged to boiling through this book.
Comment: From page one the reader is engaged in the creative process that brings us to the 'look' of quilts that has evaded us. Not only does Ms. Marston identify the character of quilting that has drawn so many of us to the art and, until now, been miising from our quilts.....she invites us into and through the process. Amazingly simple techniques are reviewed and once implemented, make 'nice' quilts.....'remarkable' quilts. This one is for any quilter out there who's quilts need "something" or is contemplating their first heirloom quilt. It has redefined my craft and creativity.

Summary: FINALLY, a book that understands the hand quilter!
Comment: From one hand quilter to another, "Quilting With Style" by Gwen Marston and Joe Cunningham is fantastic! It's concise, down to earth, and LOTS of information on the actual hand quilting Designs! It's about time!! They emphasis the importance of the quilting being as beautiful as the piecing or applique of the top itself. What brings a quilt 'to life' and how to choose your designs to accent your quilt top. It's a MUST READ! Karen Bush, Professional Hand Quilter
