Quilt Marking

This book was wonderful for teaching me how to better mark my quilts. I'm always nervous whenever I mark a quilt, but this book helped me know what markers to use in which situations. I also loved the new quilting designs in the book. Highly recommnded!

Fun to read and Informative

What a wonderful and charming book to read. Pepper Cory writes in a easy going manner that makes a person feel like she is right in the room with you. Great ideas on making templates and marking a quilt. I love how she discusses methods of the past as well as the future. It is also fun to look at the older quilts and see the methods as well as read about them. She shows patterns and methods from all over the world, and takes the mystery out of marking a quilt. She encourages a quilter to be creative and take chances, and I plan on taking her up on it. This book is a definite must have for any quilters' library.
