Welcome to Moda Bakeshop's National Book Lover's Day Blog Hop.
I am a huge book lover and quilting books certainly factor in to my weekly reads.
I caught the quilting bug by seeing a quilting magazine and saying "I need to make that". I didn't do too bad with that magazine pattern but I needed a little more. I went to my local book store and found the Complete Guide to Quilting. It was a very thorough encyclopedia of knowledge and I still have this book on my shelf for handy reference.
My latest quilting book read is Simply Retro by Camille Roskelley.
I gave away most of the books I got at the spring Quilt Market in our Book a Week Giveaway, including this one. Now I am eyeing it in our store and regretting a little that it is gone.
There is one in there that I am putting on my we-need-this-as-shop-sample list.
I may end up buying a book I gave away.

The BHG Complete Guide to Quilting is one of the first quilt books I bought & is still my go-to book. My favorite quilt book is Jinny Beyer's The Quilters Album of Patchwork Patterns. And my favorite novel is China Court by Rumer Godden. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI had someone come in to the shop talking up Jinny Beyer. I will have to check her out. And thanks for the non-quilting suggestion!
DeleteShame you gave your fave away! I once bought back a book that ended up in the giveaway box by mistake (and I had to pay full price because they didn't remove the price tag :| Two I can recommend are: Improv Quilts by Lucie Summers, and 25Ways to Sew With Jelly Rolls, by Brioni Greenberg. Both awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love jelly rolls. Thanks for the suggestion!
DeleteDo you have any favorites? I love suggestions
ReplyDeleteThese look like great books! I have other BH&G books, but not this one. I'll have to check out the Simply Retro book as well. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. Happy Sewing!
DeleteI am loving, right now, Pam and Nicky Lintott's books that use pre-cuts. I never used pre-cuts until I started with those books. I'm having a lot of fun with them. Would love to visit their shop in London.
ReplyDeletePrecuts are the best. I have London on my visit list. I can't even imagine, fabric, thrift stores, museums, architexture. Too fun
DeleteI am going to check out the Better Homes & Garden Book.
ReplyDeleteIts a great resource. Thanks for stopping by
