  Review of Wholecloth Linen Quilts - 07/01/2008

  Reviewer: Quilters Newsletter Magazine from USA

  Cindy’s extensive collection of embellished sheets, embroidered tablecloths, dresser scarves, hankies, and other vintage linens parallels her knowledge of their care and of the proper way to prepare them for quilting. The 100 quilting motifs and the photo gallery also demonstrate Cindy’s ability to design just the right quilting pattern for each heirloom. Included are designs for borders, corners, fans, medallions, companion sets, and an especially lovely collection of centerpieces and stars. Twenty additional wholecloth examples are a loving tribute to a past era. Barbara Fiedler
