Quilting Books

I recieved a non-squishie today!!! I got 5 quilting books in the mail today:

1. The Quilter's Quick Reference Guide

2. Thimbleberries Big Book of Quilt Blocks

3. Fat Quarter Small Quilts

4. 24-Hour Quilts

5. Learn to Machine Quilt


I should have some fun ready for the next few days!!!

I've flipped through a few pages, and I can tell it is going to be a wonderful handy guide. Next I need to find a book on applique I think. Or at least a web page. I recieved in the mail today a bunch of hearts and circle type fabric pictures. I have no idea how you would quilt a circle!! lol

Cheryl, I LOVE my Quilter's Quick Reference Guide. I hate to say it,
but in the last year, I've probably turned to that book for advice,
more often than my Bible! It definitely is, a quilter's bible!

Enjoy!

Well Tina, I never saw any quilting advice in the Bible. It's all lilies of
the field in there!

That sounds inspiring enough to want to make a quilt featuring Lillies
of the Field. Doesn't that count?? There's a lot of stories in there
that would make great quilts. Daniel and the lions, The Song of Songs,
the psalms- yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
the loaves and fishes suggest tessalations, Jonah and the whale, and oh
so much more! At one point, I wanted to make an iconic quilt of a
favorite saint. I still might.

On some of the pieces I got, the lady took like picture of flowers and cut a circle around them, so that the piece is now in a circle. And she did so, as they can not be cut back into a square, without cutting off some of the flowers which I dont want to do. I haventmeasured the circles but I am thinking they are 6" in diameter or larger.

Well sure, it's great for inspiration, but there's nothing about e.g. scant
quarter inch seams or how to prevent dye runs or the rocking stitch method!
Written by men who never wondered much where their clothes came from, no
doubt. :-)

Cheryl, have you seen Sharon Schamber's book and CD called _Pieceliqué_?
She pieces all sorts of curves, including circles, with great success
using this technique. Her success is rather good, too, since she won
best of show in Houston this past fall.

Yes, there is room for a seam allowance, but its just something I probably wont get to any time soon.

Is there enough room for a seam allowance?? Eleanor Burns has an
applique method which is fairl painless where you sew a lightwieght
fusible interface on the back (right sides together), cut a small cut in
the interface and turn it, then press it onto a background.....
