Hello, TracyLynn
Check your local thrift shops and flea markets. Better Homes and Gardens "Complete Guide to Quilting" is a good resources and their is a website Alibris.com that is really good and the books are really cheap. If you have local fabric store nearby and they have coupon sales you can get basic books. Just some suggestions to help happy quilting.

Cuenca is a good sized city, about 300,000 (and no sewing stores, go figure?). It is in a valley surrounded by hills and our house is at the top of one of the hills. We can see the city from our porch and the city lights at night will be beautiful. My husband is a retired marine and has lived all over the world. He has also done some of God's work in places like India and Scotland after his retirement (before we met).
To make a short story long, moving there is a calling for us. This sounds like a far fetched explanation, and before I met God, you would have gotten an eye roll and a snicker from me if someone had told me that, but we know it is where we are supposed to be. I was an atheist most of my life, and faith is a pretty powerful motivator.
Yes, as far as I know, it is a permanent move for us. Who knows, maybe I'll have an opportunity to make some quilts for the orphanage or for some of the street children.

Please keep us informed of your journey. If you have internet access, you'll be able to download Kindle books with the app from Amazon onto your computer (you don't need a standalone Kindle). There are always free books and many low cost bargains ($.99-$1.99) available every day.
Do you already speak Spanish? If not, you soon will!
