words are inadequate
i hope to one day see at least one of diane gaudynski's quilts in person. until then, i have her two books for inspiration.

this woman's quilting designs are the last word in elegance, beauty and skill. her books provide everything a quilter needs to create a masterpiece--including the confidence to try.

the author's writing style is clear and amusing. reading the instructions is as enjoyable as following them. she encourages her readers to develop their skills to their greatest extent.

the photos of her work (and cats!) and the diagrams are detailed and clear.

this title stands on its own, though her other book is equally worth owning. either or both belong in every quilter's library, because, even though she quilts by machine, her design ideas are adaptable to hand quilting.

A must have!
This book is very informative! I have Gaudynski's Guide to Machine Quilting, which is good. This one is even better. There are many pictures that show the quilting close up. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in quilting a full size quilt on a regular sewing machine.

Machine Quilting
This book takes you far beyond the basics. I've been machine quilting for a number of years and I learned a lot from this book. Well worth while! Lots of photos clearly showing each topic.
