How Not to Make a Prize-Winning Quilt

Rating:
Summary: Hilarious and Helpful!
Review: This author is just flat out funny while throughly communicating how to avoid common pitfalls in quilting, how to do it right--or what to do after you run out of beds. She clearly has passion and deep knowledge of her craft. This is not the only book you'll need to get started, but I think it's probably a must have for someone in the beginner to intermediate range. Or someone who wants to compare nuggets of advice with another quilting nut.

Summary: A fun read
Review: This book was cute and as a beginner quilter, I understand it perfectly. Its an adventure to say the least! From misinterpreting patterns to taking up the diningroom with a quilt stretcher is all things we can relate to.

Summary: A must read for all quilters
Review: This is a great book for begining and experienced quilters. As soon as I started reading I was sure that Ami Simms wrote this book for me! She writes about all of the little mistakes quilters make and how they do things to save time, but instead diminsh quality. I laughed throughout the whole book, and recommend it to anyone who knows too well the problems of being a beginning quilter!

Summary: Attention New Quilters!
Review: This is an awesome book! Any person who appreciates quilting will have fun reading this book! Every new quilter MUST READ this book before they run to the fabric store. I only wish that I'd read it years ago. I laughed so hard at Ami Simms' vivid descriptions of "How NOT to Make a Prize-Winning Quilt" that I could hardly contain myself. She verbalized every thought new quilters may have had about their own quilting experiences. I am NOT a great quilter and after reading her book, I've come to appreciate my first (utility) quilt because I had quilted it for the love of it and not it's technique. Now she's given me inspiration to work on my technique.

Review: Three cheers to Ami Simms for "coming clean" with the truth about quilting! And what is that truth? It's a journey, one to be enjoyed and cherished along the way. Every step doesn't have to be perfect. Thanks, Ami, for brightening my day with your quilt catastrophe confessions!
