 Rating:  - Great Projects and super Inspirational!I really love looking through this book! She has some really great projects, and a lot of ideas that could be applied to other projects (i.e. why not matching coasters and hot pads?) I like the tips and information she gives at the beginning of the book, though I do wish some of the information and tips was a little more thorough, I have found other information from other sources to help out. I LOVE the designs and how modern it is. And it seems like a lot of the projects are pretty quick and simple. ...

I don't have the money to pay a copying place to enlarge some patterns on the back, so in my attept to do it myself was somewhat okay. I was able to enlarge 3 pages in the books, but when it came to enlarging quilt patterns---it was nearly impossible--they were basic squares and rectangles and I wish she had written somewhere in the book the measurements.

I have loved Denyse Schmidt's designs ever since she was profiled in Martha Stewart Living a few years ago. I couldn't resist buying her book. Her contemporary update of traditional patterns is fun and eye-pleasing. Many of the projects are quick, and I have already made the stuffed cat and the apron and oven mitt. The directions were easy to follow and the final products wonderful. In this world of mass produced items, aren't sewers and quilters lucky that they can create something of beauty, ... Read More Rating: - SOO GREAT!!I first saw this book in a bookstore on my lunch break. I am an avid crafter and love to sew. I had recently decided to make quits for all of my nieces and my nephew, I have 5 of them, for Christmas. Problem was, I had never actually made a quit before. This book is so informative, I could hardly believe how much I learned. I am so glad I got this book' it is going to get me to through the summer all the way to Christmas and beyond! Rating: - Love the designs but enlarging patterns gets expensiveLove the book and projects but it cost me $8 to enlarge one pattern at Kinkos...next time I will try to fit 2 or 3 more on the same copy
