ABSOLUTE BEST BEGINNER'S QUILTING BOOK. EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND A PLEASURE TO FOLLOW. A Beginner's Guide to Quilting by Christine Mann is just what I needed to jumpstart my interest in fabric art. It is clearly-written in a super-friendly voice. The pictures exactly illustrate the directions and make them easy to follow. On top of that, it is so beautifully laid out and colorful that it's a pleasure to leaf through and daydream about my next project (and next and next, as there are a six(!) projects in this one book. This is the best guide on this subject, in my opinion. Ms. Mann really knows her stuff. I have already bought two more to give as holiday gifts and I will buy her next book whenever it comes out.

USING THIS FOR EVERYTHING. I'm new to quilting and I just jumped in on the intermediate level and made quite a few errors. Got in over my head and then took a few back steps and bought this book. It forced me to take my time and smell the roses. Now I appreciate the nuances of quilting and very easily mastered the skills with instruction from this book. I should have gotten this book before I got anything else. Now its my instruction manual for everything quilting. Great buy. The free sewing labels in the front are a great addition.
