Projects from Books, Mags and Patterns

I love buying and reading quilting books, mags and patterns almost as much as quilting and blogging. I suspect that many quilters have more quilting books, magazines and patterns in their quilting studio libraries that most quilt shops. I know that I probably do!

I thought that it might be interesting to highlight some of the books, mags, patterns and courses that I've used and the projects that they helped create. I will attempt :-) to organise them by alphabetical order, with links to the publishers as well as the related post.

Note: I do not support Amazon and try to buy from other sources, but I have linked some of these books to the Amazon site particularly when publishers have gone out of business. From that link, you can preview the book and then probably find the book elsewhere.

Resources are in alphabetical order:

      Hi Anne, yes, the cardinal and birdhouse pattern was taken from the book, The Quilter's Home: Winter by Lois Krushina Fletcher, published by Martingale. The project is the "Winter Vacancy" wall hanging. Here is the original post: https://quiltinglearningcombo.blogspot.com/2014/01/finishing-up-winter-quilts.html and here is the link to the book. https://www.shopmartingale.com/quilters-home-winter-ebook.html
      It's only available in E-book. I'll add this one to my page. Thanks. Enjoy!
