AWSOME BOOK!.......2006-04-02
When I bought this book I was IN heaven It had all of the pictures I wanted to see except for the cover car.It hardly had any of my cars but Im okay with IT.
best purchase ever.......2006-01-17
This little book fits right into your pocket. You can take it with you when you go on your "treasure hunts"
Good information, but too incomplete........2004-02-29
This book has some good information, but is very incomplete. It does not even contain the deora car that is on the front cover and title page of the book!!! This book only lists mint in package prices and many cars have been left out. It also contains very little variations. If you are looking for a complete price guide, look somewhere else.
Wish this Guide was more comprehensive.......2003-07-24
It is not clear in the description of this book that only a relatively small sample of Hot Wheels are featured and the only values listed are for "mint packaged vehicles". Because of these limitations, this book was of little value to me.

Quilts of Virginia, 1607-1899: The Birth of America Through the Eye of a Needle
Congratulations to the creators of this book, the Virginia Consortium of Quilters. This is beautifully illustrated and very well written. I very much enjoy reading the history of quilting and learning about the States of America, this book is one of the best that I have read. Virginia is such a rich source of inspiration and the material that these authors have found is just wonderful. Sometimes history books can be a bit dry and technical, this is one that should find a home in every quilters collection.Well done and I look forward to any further works that may be currently a "work in progress".
Quilts of Virginia, 1607 - 1899.......2007-09-07
I have almost every State Documentation book published, and this is one of the best. There are wonderful stories that go with every quilt. The pictures are in gorgeous color. Loved every page.

Fantastic Book. Can't stop looking at it. Fabulous addition to my
quilt library!!!!
Quilts of Virginia, 1607-1899.......2007-03-15
This book was a joy! It contained many beautiful quilts of the time frame. I loved the quilts, of course, but I really appreciated all the historiacal information that was included as well. Virginia is rich is early American history. Tie that in with quilts and I am hooked! I came back and bought another copy for a gift. Every quilter in Virginia should own this book!
Wonderful history of quilts in Virginia.......2007-01-25
This is a beautiful book, very well researched, that presents the quilts of Virginia along with the history surrounding the quiltmakers. Virginia was the home of so many early political and prominent figures in American History. In these pages you will find many familiar figures from Martha Washington to Willa Cather, but not only the famous and their quilts are highlighted. Reading the stories behind these quilts, one experiences a true connection to the times in which the quiltmakers lived. The book documents over 270 quilts made before 1900, all of which are beautifully photographed. The information is presented regionally and includes a partial listing of museums and facilities where the quilts can be seen in person. Of all the books of this kind which document the quilts of our ancestors, this is by far the best I have seen. This is a book to treasure.

Quilting is much cheaper than psychiatry..........2000-04-25
... and you have a thing of beauty when you're done!
I was lucky enough to scoop this book up in our public library. It was the beauty of the cover that attracted me. I had never quilted before, but had wanted to learn how. I knew this was not a how-to book, but was aimed at an audience who had more experience than I. It assumes you have some knowledge of terms and techniques, like strip piecing, but a short beginner's class will bring you up to speed fast enough! I have never been disappointed when buying a book by Liz Porter and Marianne Fons. The instructions are clear and concise, and you can avoid some pitfalls if you follow the instructions literally, as in assembling star pieces in the same order as they do - it makes it lie flat and you can ease the seams together better.
I also like the little tidbits they throw in. They're a wonderful team and they write wonderful books. I did my first strip-pieced Starburst quilt in a class that made alot more progress than I did and I used this book to finish the project. It's a great addition to any home quilting library.
Book Description

Customer Reviews:
She doesn't disapoint.......2007-08-31
Eleanor Burns has been around a long time and knows her way around a quilt pattern. Her instructions are suitable for beginners and the designs are beautiful enough to interest even the most experienced quilter. She continues with her traditional approach and classic patterns, but with some design twists.
Easy to use and filled with some history too........1997-09-29
Stars Across America has beautiful quilt patterns with a star representing famous women in our American history. Along with the easy to follow directions for the quilt is a written history of the woman highlighted with their own star design. Each quilt has it's own unique border also. I made the Eleanor Roosevelt Star quilt and enjoyed the straight forward directions that even a beginning quilter such as myself could make with few mistakes. If you like stars, quilting, and some interesting historical information this is a good book
Customer Reviews:
Quirky quilting history.......2007-05-13
This is a quirky little book full of newspaper excerpts about quilting. The best part is the background printing on each page which is a close-up of original fabrics used in the featured quilts. A lovely book to go back to and browse over coffee.
Lots of old newspaper snippets about quilts.......2007-04-11
This book was enjoyable, but got to be a little redundant after awhile. I loved the photographs of the antique quilts and quilt tops. A good read, then pass it on to the next quilter you know who is interested in quilt history. I don't consider this a book I would read over and over again.
Bringing together closeup images and close up news reports.......2007-02-18
From the beginning of the 20th century, through 2 World Wars, the Great Depression, the Great Society, the quilt revival, and continuing into the 21st century, quilters have searched their local newspapers, national magazines and books for new patterns and mention of quilts, quilt shows and famous quilters.
In Ms Reich's beautiful new book we will read news of noteworthy quilts and quilters of the 19th century directly from local newspapers of the times. Especially newsworthy were quilts made from "gazillions" of tiny pieces of fabric, painstakingly cut apart and then resewn together in set patterns. It is obvious to this reader that as the 19th century advanced the men who wrote those little filler blurbs became less and less amazed at the feat, and more and more incredulous at why anyone would even attempt such a thing as cutting fabrics into tiny pieces only to sew them back together again into gorgeous patterns. We quilters know why, and so does Ms Reich.
The photos that accompany the text, both in closeup of the fabrics used and the quilts seen as a whole, are incredibly clear and true as to color. Those fabrics are as packed with mouth-watering goodness as a good bar of dark semi-sweet chocolate, and are just as satisfying. In addition the short news articles are often good for a chuckle. This book gives joy on many levels, and as a new addition to the history of quilting is invaluable.

Another Brackman Hit.......2007-04-03
An invaluable resource for the quilt historian ,conservator or just an interested quilter. The illustrations helped me to identify fabric by period,style and color. The text gave me invaluable information to help identify a puzzling old quilt which was found stuffed in a chimney undisturbed for 90 years. Barbara Brackman is the author to read when one seeks information about quilts and their history. I enjoyed the chapter identifications allowing me to quickly access the fabric type I was seeking.

America's Printed Fabrics 1770-1890.......2006-06-29
This book gives a very good compressive over view of fabrics in a certain time frame. While I bought it for reference I discovered it is quite enjoyable just to read. I'd recommend it to anyone with an interest in fabrics. It would be especially useful to a beginning fabric aficionado.
brackman/america's printed fabric 1770-1890.......2005-09-17
what a wonderful resource book for anyone who is interested in fabric/fiber arts.
i'm a quilter who likes to create quilts with a flair from yesterday. this book not only helps me to be closed in my interpretation of that time, it does guide me through the decision which colors have been more used than others. the contents/pictures are very clear and the instructions to recreate some of the quilts are outstanding. i would give this book 6 stars!
Wonderful book.......2005-03-25
I really like the layout on this book - full color pages of historical fabric swatches on the left pages, and comparison reproduction print swatches on the right. Wonderful book for anyone wishing to glean a good understanding of what historical prints look like and how they evolved.

Customer Reviews:
Beautiful and inspiring--.......2000-07-11
A quality paperback book: large color photos of the finished projects, heavy paper stock. Techniques are straightforwardly explained, easy to follow. Humorously written. If you never sew a stitch, this is a book you will turn to again and again, just for the pleasure of viewing a whimsical and colorful approach to quiltmaking! Highly recommended.
Peaky and Spike.......2000-01-21
This is a wonderful book with clear instructions and lots of pictures. Doreen is known for using bright colors and the quilts in this book are no exception. Many of the fabrics used came from places where she travelled. The reader may need to be able to translate the fabrics into what is available in their own locale. The quilt projects are well illustrated. The quilts were made during (or inspired by) quilting tours to Hawaii, Alaska and the Caribbean. Doreen's sense of humor permeates the book. It is written as if she was talking to you in her easy going manner. Her two triangular friends, Peaky and Spike are used over and over again to make the colorful quilts. Doreen passed away suddenly in Ireland last year (1999) while leading a quilting tour. This second book of hers should be a popular title for those who knew her as a friend, teacher and tour guide.
