Quilting Books

This book has so many amazing ideas. Not just quilt covers but cushions, stands and all sorts of finishing touches to make a room special. Instructions looked a little daunting when just reading them, but once I actually had fabric to play with things went very smoothly. A Very enjoyable book.

This book take a tradional Pattern , folding the material as you do with paper and then quilt it as you go. Thus making a difficult pattern easy. This can be done anywhere, A take along project.

The Joy to the World book is great! It has easy to follow instructions and great pictures of all the projects. I love how it makes all the projects easy even for beginers like myself!

I consider this a basic book in a quilt library. It contains any quilt block you would every desire to construct at any size you prefer. It is a perfect tool to creating and designing just what you want.

The pattern inside is easy to make fit on the most difficult body type. I like the ease of the instructions and the pattern were not difficult to follow.

Debbie Mumm has done an amazing job with this quilting book. Her quilts are absolutely beautiful. The patterns are easy to follow and the directions are explained well.

This is one of the books showcasing the Museum of the American Quilt Society's yearly contest "New Quilts from an old favorite". Each year a traditional block is selected for the challenge and quiltmakers from all over the world produce wonderfully inventive interpretations of the theme block. The quilts selected as prize winners and finalists are shown in the MAQS and a book is produced. Each quilt is presented in color on one page and commented on by the maker on the opposing side. Each quilter tells a little about her quilting and explains a bit about the way she arrived at the contest quilt. In the back of the book there are patterns for several sizes of the traditional block as well as further technical tips by the quilters whose work is presented in the book.

This book showcases quilts derived from the Kaleidoscope block: there are quilts you can clearly trace to that block and some where you can hardly find it, traditionally inspired quilts along with art quilts. Quite a few quilts were inspired by Paula Nadelstern's Kaleidoscope quilts.

All the books documenting this challenge are well worth owning as they are great inspirations and show the many different ways a theme can be interpreted.

I bought the original books as they came out, over 25 years ago, and have never stopped using them. The patterns are arranged, with thumbnail sketches and known names, by groups according to designs. A great help when identifying patterns, or for inspiration in making your next quilt.

This book is just packed with projects - 23 of them! Beautiful photos and illustrations and lots of kid appeal. A real value for the money. You won't be disappointed with this bargin.

A real must have for teaching kids or first timers of any age.

If you collect kids quilting books or just want the one really really good one - this is the one to buy. Something for everyone and more topics than I would have expected for the increadibly low price. Everything from making a knot to flower pounding.

I gave this as a gift to my wife. She loved it. The book covers her two favorite things, Cats and Quilts.
