Customer Reviews

If I could rate this book lower that 1 star, I would........
This book is certainly not for quilters nor is it for those who love to paint with Donna Dewberry, either. From a quilting perspective, the book is useless. The process of quilting is not dealt with at all. The project instructions are too vague for a beginner and the projects too simple and boring for a quilter or a sewer. The book provides general instructions for making simple, pieced throws, pillows, bedding items, etc. using Donna's newly marketed fabric designs. Donna's fabric designs, patterned after her flower and nature painting, are indeed very pretty, but all but impossible to find at fabric stores. The pictures of the projects are cute and colorful, but without using Donna's fabrics, are just pieced throws, pillows, and bedding. In my opinion, this book is nice to look through, but useless to actually use in making quilted projects.
