Kids Can Quilt by Dorothy Stapleton (2004, Paperback)

I first checked this out from our local library but found that there were so many things I wanted to copy that buying the book was the logical decision.

I have two elementary aged children that want to learn to sew. This book has some easy and very cute children's projects that will give them handsewing and machine sewing skills while also teaching them the basics of quilting.

Lots of color photos and illustrations, many of the templates are full size. Outlines basic equipment and materials and basic skills in very easy to understand terms. Projects are broken down in easy steps. There are very simple projects and a few more complex so that the beginning quilter will be challenged and motivated to build on their skills.

This is one of the best books, I've seen for beginning quilters. . . I'm even going to try a few of the projects myself just for fun.
