Memory quilts for young and old alike.......2007-05-24
I remember making "hand turkeys" as a craft project in Kindergarten. I was so proud to bring it home to Mom. Now you can go back to your childhood with Marcia Layton's book "Calendar Kids".
With a little bit of paint, some fabric and a small child, you can make wonderful quilts. Aww heck - why not a big child??? Use your own handprints! Either way, this book gives you ideas for quilts to make for every month of the year. Make seasonal quilts - like the four seasons; make a whole year quilt - something for each month of the year or use your imagination and make themed quilts such as beach or a Christmas quilt. Anyway you choose to do it you will have a quilt full of memories.
The first twelve pages give you all your basic instructions such as the best way to create the handprint itself and then ideas on embellishments and how to finish the quilt. Then come the quilts themselves. Each quilt, of which there are a Baker's Dozen, has a color photo, a materials list, fabric measurements, which handprint block to use and the best way to put the quilt together all the way through to finishing it.
There are "Special Design Tips" scattered throughout the book to give you some extra ideas on using the handprints to make other themes for the quilts. There is a four page gallery of quilts which will add even more ideas to your list of "want to makes". Whether you make the quilts as a project to include your child or grandchild or make them as a memory quilt using your own hands, they will be ones full of memories to keep forever.
Fabulous Ideas for Children's Quilts.......2007-03-08
Our elementary school is celebrating 50 years of learning this year. We are in the process of creating a commemorative quilt to be hung in the school. The ideas in this book are outstanding! Instead of designing the squares ourselves, we selected areas of learning for each classroom and asked the children to submit their ideas. The outcome was incredible. The committee plans to use the ideas in this book to embellish childrens' handprints for the classroom squares designed by the students.

Thimbleberries Four Seasons of Calendar Table Toppers.......2007-01-23
Excellent book including several sizes of projects. Beautifully photographed with Lynette Jensen's detailed and illustrated instructions for the construction of each project. Good choice for the quilter who is interested in making smaller projects with the Thimbleberries quality.
Great Projects!.......2006-08-03
I just received my book and cannot wait to try the projects in it. This book is full of patterns that look both easy and beautiful to make. A lot of times I'll purchase a quilt book and find that I like about 50% of what's in there. Four Seasons of Calendar Table Toppers is one that I like 100% of what I see! I highly recommend this book.
Thimbleberries Four Seasons Table Toppers.......2006-07-29

Book Description
Journey through the calendar year with three top quilt designers and teachers. These special friends have designed a quilt pattern for every month and combined their diverse styles to create unique and exciting new designs. They also share fabric selection ideas, how-to sections on Stack-n-Whack and Appli-bond, and techniques and tips to use all year round. Joan Shay's designs feature her easy and popular three-dimensional Appli-bond method for creating flowers, birds, and fish. Bethany Reynolds presents several fun, new Stack-n-Whack designs -- a method that has taken the quilt world by storm. Karen Combs adds her special insight with quilts of illusion that delight the senses. From enchanting applique to dazzling patchwork, the great variety of projects offered will bring quilting excitement throughout the year. AUTHORBIO: Karen Combs is an internationally-known quilter, teacher, author, and designer whose students nominated her for Quilt Teacher of the Year in 1995 and 2000. In high demand as a teacher (she began teaching quilting in 1989), Karen encourages her students, makes learning fun, and makes the complex easy to understand! Karen is fascinated with optical illusions in quilts, a fascination that has become the subject of her many workshops, magazine articles, and books. AUTHORBIO: Joan, who was taught to sew on a Singer treadle machine by her grandmother, has been a quilter for many years. She has her own pattern company, Petal Play, which she operates from her home in Massachusetts. In addition, she has taught and lectured extensively throughout the country. She has appeared on television on the PBS show "Quilting from the Heartland" with Sharlene Jorgenson, and on the HGTV program "Simply Quilts" with Alex Anderson. AUTHORBIO: Bethany Reynolds is best known as the originator of Stack-n-Whack, but her design interests don't stop there. She has a knack for finding ways to get great results with less work, and she loves sharing her tricks with quilters worldwide. At home on the coast of Maine, Bethany and her husband, Bill, produce a line of specialty rulers and patterns under their BSR Design Inc. label. REVIEW: The Midwest Book Review says: 'In 3 Quilters Celebrate The 4 Seasons: By the Calendar Girls, Karen Combs, Bethany Reynolds, Joan Shay (three famous quilting professionals) collaborate to provide their specialties showcasing over a dozen quilt projects emphasizing diverse patterns and styles and approaches, providing a diversity of original styles. The color photos are wonderful embellishments.'

The color photos are wonderful embellishments.......2004-05-16
In 3 Quilters Celebrate The 4 Seasons: By The Calendar Girls, Karen Combs, Bethany Reynolds, Joan Shay (three famous quilting professionals) collaborate to provide their specialties showcasing over a dozen quilt projects emphasizing diverse patterns and techniques. Quilters will delight in the fact that these three veterans have very different styles and approaches, providing a diversity of original styles. The color photos are wonderful embellishments.
Wow!.......2004-04-21
I am floored by the 3-D Appli-bond of Joan's quilts as it is something I have never seen before but have to say that the three ladies work well together. I have seen Optical illions and the magic stack-n-whack before but have never attempted to try them. Not often I get to learn three new techniques all in one book. So often, I purchase a book and think it is beautiful but too difficult for me to do - not this one! It is definately full of beautiful and new ideas but looks easy with all the detailed instructions.

A Quilt of Life: A Patchwork of Devotional Thoughts.......2007-01-03
These devotional stories are very well related to quilting. Mary Tatem has written several Christian books and this is a good one to start with. She is easy to read, genuine, and speaks from the heart. It is hard to limit yourself to only one devotional a day.
The Quilt of Life.......2006-03-03
Everybody should read this book. This book will help you get past a lot of infirmities in your life. Very easy reading.
Beautiful devotional thoughts.......2005-09-07
A great book to share with others. Wonderful quilt tips.Encouraging Bible thoughts. Enlightening quilt descriptions and stories.
The Quilt of Life: A Patchwork of Devotional Thoughts.......2000-11-25
I found this book at the right moment in my life. My Spiritual growth and interest in quilts have coincided with each other. After the completion of a huge quilt project with a mother's organization, this book put into words the loving touch of God that we felt with every stitch. As an indication of how I feel about this book, I am buying 25 copies for Christmas gifts!
Memorable Stories, Easy Read.......2000-10-28
I found these stories easy to read. The book is set up as a series of devotional stories. I often found myself thinking about the uplifting stories during the day. I especially enjoyed the story "Down in the Dumps" about a quilter who survived by making quilts from scraps at a neighboring garment factory. A excellent feel-good book.

Quilting Fun.......2007-05-10
Fun everyday. Finished two of the projects already! Looking forward to doing more.
Quilting Calendar.......2007-01-31
I have used the scrapbooking calendar by this same company for over a year & purchased this quitling one for a friend. I have looked through the calendar pages & really like the looks of it. Since I am not a quilter, I cannot comment on the patterns provided, but to a non-quilter, they good good to me.
Not really a block a day.......2007-01-06
Good Calender,but some of the pages are just days are just pieces of the same block.
Nice but cumbersome.......2006-12-17
I bought this calendar for myself a couple of years ago. The calendar is really nice but the individual daily sheets are cumbersome in that you either have them loose and laying around or you have to slide them in the back. I certainly didn't want to throw them away. It would be nice if it was a flip calendar.
Nice idea, little pieces can be annoying.......2006-09-20
I purchased this product last year, and while I enjoyed many of the patterns, I disliked having the loose leaves floating around cluttering up my space. I think the design would be better if the calendar were flippable on a ring for archiving, otherwise the pattern pieces tend to get rumpled and miss-placed.
Many of the patterns were cute though. Although I admit, I used it more for the patterns than as a calendar.
Customer Reviews:
looked everywhere.......2006-02-01
I looked all over for this calendar and finally found it shopping at home . Great for any quilter.
Wonderful source of quilt square ideas.......2001-11-27
I was so impressed with my copy that I bought another for my cousin for Christmas, who encouraged me to begin quilting by swapping quilting squares monthly. This will make a fantastic addition for her quilting library as well. The index allows for quilt square sizes, the beautiful diagrams and the measurements for cutting make this such a wonderfully simplistic way to learn or expand your quilting knowledge. I have also used it to make quilt squares for swaps at my local quilt club. Since it is a perpetual calendar, you use it every year. Five stars just isn't enough!
Pattern a day for inspiration and challenge.......2000-01-04
This perpetual calendar with a majority of pieced patterns for rotary cutting will delight any quilter. Inspiration for new projects, Block of the Month, and just a lovely place to rest your eyes. The paper and spiral are good quality and should last many years.
