Summary: More Great Decorating, Thimbleberries Style
Review: If you love Christmas, and you love the Thimbleberries "look", you would do well to add this book to your collection. It has a wide variety of decorating ideas, as well as great projects, all done in the simple, staightforward style that Lynette Jensen is known for. This book is a good buy, even if you just get it for the pictures, which are spectacular. I spent days just browsing through it and enjoying it. I'm sure you will, too.

Summary: Crocodile tears from a Thimbleberries Fan
Review: Why the tears? Cuz I'm used to the quality of the Thimbleberries books and this one fell so far short. If you are looking for a quilting book don't get this. It has pretty pictures, a few projects (though they are the same as in her other "real" books). This would be strictly for the person interested in decorating or a pretty coffee table book. I was hesitant to buy it because the book plainly states decorating, collecting and inspiration...well I was right. I will be returning this book and I have never done that before. So that should give you some indication of just how bad it is. For decorating it is way too cutesy and it's very thin on quilting and projects. Only good for the pretty pictures. Before spending money on this get it from your local library to make sure you are happy with it.
