The book surpassed what I even imagined it would be like.
My all-time favorite quilting book!! And quite possibly my favorite book reviewed this year!
The combination of the letters from the Lucky Pony Winners of 1915 sponsored by Webb Publishing company, and fantastic quilt block designs for each letter, the book spotlights 90 beautiful blocks to be put into a sampler.
Original concept, fantastic photos, brilliant historical recollections, and absolutely beautiful quilt blocks.
One of the plusses of this book is that regardless of your type of quilting; using templates, foundation piecing, or rotary cutting, the directions are written for each. A CD is included with the book that provides cutting instructions for each block and the assembly diagrams. This book can easily be used by a beginner through advanced quilter and the options for color design, or placement are endless for your finished quilt.
The history alone from these Pony Winning kids, born in the early 1900’s and the photos along with many of the letters makes this a fantastic read even for those who don’t personally quilt.
A MUST for anyone you know who quilts, or loves to look at quilting books. Laurie has outdone herself in this book, and to think she did it all with young ones still at her side, and a home to take care of.
I can’t say enough about the historical aspect of the book, and the merging with the design of the quilt blocks to represent each letter. ( )
