I have acquired a few new
books this year (yes, I know I said I wasn’t going to buy any more but…) and I
wanted to share my 3 favorites with you.
1) – Treasury of Quilts by
Betsy Chutchian
I have every one of Betsy’s
books and each time I get a new one it becomes my current favorite! This one is
no exception. The patterns are easy to follow (even for someone like me who
can’t follow a pattern without changing it) and the photographs are beautiful. I
want to make every quilt in this book!
Debra (Life’s a Stitch) is already
making my favorite one, the “42 Cent Forever Stamp”. Look at this stack of
delicious fabrics! Can’t wait to get one started. Thanks for the inspiration
Debra!
If you can’t find it at your
local quilt shop (to help keep them in business), you can get it directly from
Martingale (here).
2) – Little Handful of Scraps
by Edyta Sitar
I think I am going to be very
busy in the coming year because not only do I want to make all the quilts in
Betsy’s book, I want to make all of these little gems as well. This book is
just full of little treasures.
Cyndi at Busy Thimble made this
little top from the book. I love it!
I highly recommend it to
anyone who likes vintage quilts and/or small quilts.
3) – Feed Sacks by Linzee
Kull McCray
I have every feedsack book
published in the last 20 years and I do love them all, but this is (currently)
my favorite. It is chock full of the most fabulous photos of feedsack prints I
have ever seen. Linzee is a wonderful writer and it is a joy to read. She has
packed the pages with an amazing amount of information on vintage feedsack
manufacturers.
It is published by Uppercase
magazine and available (here).
Hope you all find some time to drool over your favorite books too!
Those first two books have been tempting me, but I have been trying to resist. Thanks for making it harder. : )
ReplyDeleteCyndi's little quilt adds to the temptation. I need to get out of here.
