Review by Sharla Hicks © 2000

Wow, talk about the best of both worlds for the computer quilter!

A Quilter's Life in Patchwork is the first of many such books that are being prepared for computer quilters. Up to this point the books with CDs have included only instructional videos that are wonderful, but this book takes the CD into the realm of a quilt software program by adding the ability to indivudualize each project with your own coloring choices. It even has the ability to personalize quilt labels with TEXT! This is something that only one of the quilting software can do.

What in this book?

This book has a very broad range of quilts, the styles cut across the gamet of choices of pieced and appliqued quilts.

Find 17 different quilts and related projects (see Table of Contents for the names of the quilt):

Country Style Figurative Quilts (see the front cover at the top of page.) Animal Design Quilts (see quilt on back of cover at top for one example Angel Quilts School Days Quilts Unique Colorado Wedding Ring Quilt

Pieced Block Quilt called Sherbert Novelty Sewing Themed Blocks in a Quilt. Several style of well designed botanical flower and basket quilts. (See Quilt on the right for one example and back cover at the top of page.)

The CD includes:

• Ability to add your own coloring.

• Print out yardage charts and cutting instructions for each quilt.
• Add Text to some of the bonus projects included on the CD. (See more below.)

CD BONUS PROJECTS: Use your printer and June Tailor Colorfast Printer Fabric or Bubble Jet Set 2000 treated fabric to create the following projects that use the quilt patterns:
