The Rose of Sharon Block book by Sharon Pederson
I have always loved the look of the Rose of Sharon block but thought all the hand applique was too much to do. In reading this book, I find that Sharon Pederson shows a way to do applique by machine. You could, of course, do hand applique but if you are like me, this book will make the applique proc

Quilt Calendar 2011 by TPP
The 2011 quilt calendar with patterns only has five that I would consider making. Usually all twelve are ones that I like but not this time. As usual, the calendar has large squares to keep track of daily life. Each quilt is shown on a full page and the bottom has a full page for the calendar. This

Award-Winning Quilts 2011 Calendar by IQA

Most are what I think of as Art Quilts and they show such things as a butterfly with autumn leaves, a girl running, a Christmas Night scene and a bridge with autumn foliage. The size, name of the quilt maker and whic

Country Threads Goes to Charm School by Mary Etherington and Connie Tesene
I was very excited when I began reading this book. Our guild has accumulated a “horde” of scraps! They fill a Hefty XXL bag and we were wondering what exactly to do with them. This book answers that question! With the 19 patterns and some background fabric, we can create to our hearts content. No fa

Scrap-Basket Surprises by Kim Brackett
All those pieces of left over binding (if you make yours 2 ½ inches like I do) are just floating around waiting for this book. Each quilt is made from 2 ½” strips. Of course, if you are a new quilter and don’t have the “left-overs”, you can always buy a jelly roll or cut your own 2 ½” pieces from ya
