This is an excellent contemporary instructional dvd set. It included a wide variety of quilting instructions, tips, and up to the minute information on techniques, supplies, and innovative design. The presentation by the two hosts is warm, competent, and informative. The filming made each step clear and easy to see. I particularly enjoyed learning some new techniques for piecing. I am so impressed with this dvd set that I not only intend to rent their other series, but also plan to subscribe to their Love of Quilting magazine!
