good resource

This book has a lot of good tips on how to make quilting easier. Especially for the beginner.

Very Easy Quilting

This book makes an excellent addition to any quilting library. It covers applique', tea dying, fabric selection, rotary cutting, and provides 10 tried and true quilting timesavers. Helpful hints for projects are sprinkled throughout the book.All of the projects include clear, concise instructions and illustrations. The projects provide exact amounts of fabric to pre-buy. The illustrations in the book are very helpful and really motivate one to experiment. This book truly takes the fear out of quiltmaking and you can easily do this as a beginner. All you need is the desire to sew the multitude of provided projects. I've made four of the projects out of the book with no difficulties and in a very short period of time. Honestly, my greatest challenge with the book has been selecting the project to start on. There's just so darn many good ones.

A fun and easy way of quilting

This book is fabulous not only for the experimented quilter but also for the beginner. The instructions are easy to follow and the photographs of the finish product as well as the setting are inspirational. Debbie Mumm took advantage of her background as a designer resulting in quilts that are perfects in every sense. Her suggested color combinations are suitable for every taste. Since I bought this book I am always looking for her books.This book should be on every quilter's library.

Quick Country Quilting

This was the first quilting book that I purchased as a first time quilter. What a great book!!! I would highly recommend this book to anyone just starting out, since the quilts are set up as smaller more managable wall hangings. Debbie's rotary cutting method is simple understand and clearly explained. I'm definately looking forward to purchasing more of her books.

For do-not-have-time quilters, it's inspirational and easy

For working women with very little recreational time available, this book truly inspires you to WANT to quilt. For young and inexperienced quilters, it's truly easy to follow, with great tips and ideas. I've just started quilting to alleviate my stress levels. The suggested patterns and time saving advice have started a whole process of lateral thinking where I can now generate my own concepts and patterns. It has enhanced my creativity tremendously and is just what the doctor ordered. I've bought Quick Country Quilting and More Quick Country Quilting. I have found that they are ideal for situations in teaching others how to quilt because it's so easy follow. What ever your style, the patterns would fullfil everyone's taste!
