This is a delightful hardcover (with dustjacket) book called "301 Country Christmas Quilt Blocks". The author is Cheri Saffiote. The book is 160 pages long, including patterns and index. The book has lots and lots of pretty, full-color photos of all the cute quilt blocks you will learn how to make. I think they are all totally adorable! There are some different stitching & quilting techniques represented here such as applique, embroidery, pieced, and template pieced. There is such a variety presented; I think quilters who like the country look will definitely find some blocks they want to make for the holidays. In this book you will find angels; santas (Santa Claus); gingerbread men; multiple snowman designs; reindeer; "the twelve days of Christmas" including partridge in a pear tree, 2 turtledoves, 3 French Hens, etc; stars; candy canes; holly; Christmas cottages; sheep; moose; stars; candle; shepherd; doves; Christmas trees; stockings; jingle bells; wreaths; and lots of other great Christmas themes. 301 blocks all together! Use your imagination for different ways to put them together, or do the projects in the photos! Either way you'll end up with some really cute gifts! If you start now, you should have plenty to go around by the time Christmas is here!Read full review
This book is exactly what I had been looking for. I enjoy primitive quilts and I had purchased this same book several years ago, right after it came out. My daughter collects angels, and for her first Christmas wanted a Christmas Tree Skirt with angels. I was able to use the patterns and examples in this book to make her a round Christmas Tree Skirt in primitive style. We both loved it. One year ago I lost my home to a fire and everything was destroyed, including all my quilting books and materials. After eight months of designing and rebuilding our new home and moving in, I began to work on re-stocking my sewing room with quilting books, fabric, etc. I started purchasing quilting books and patterns over e-bay and was very excited to find 301 Country Christmas Quilt Blocks by Cheri Saffiote. This book is truly a book to treasure and use.Read full review
Great patterns by a great folk art / primitive artist. Patterns can be used in so many different ways ! Like appliquing a cool christmas shape on simple aged burlap pillow. A simple wall hanging / quilt can be made using a favorite shape. Book was used yet in perfect condition ! I buy used books very often. If there are notes in the margins I actually like that as I have gotten some grea tideas from them. I will always buy used and in all the books I have ordered I have never had a problem !
