In the pages of A Beginner's Guide to Quilting she has drawn upon her years of experience and expertise to craft an ideal and unreservedly recommended instruction manual and guide for the non-specialist general reader who would like to learn the basics of quilting. Packed from cover to cover with illustrative full-color photographs and a wealth of creative inspiration, every detail of A Beginner's Guide to Quilting features step-by-step instructions in a lay-flat spiral binding that is designed specifically with the beginning quilter in mind. Readers will also find a brief history of quilting and helpful guides on cutting and coordinating colors, plus delightful extras like templates and quick-reference guides in the back pocket of this book. Even better, each book comes with a pack of 4 quilt labels so even the most novice beginner can proudly stitch their very own labels onto their first quilted creation!"—Midwest Book Review
