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.
