And I forgot that while at the Carol Doak workshop I bought her 40 Bright & Bold Paper-Pieced Blocks for $5 from the lady right next to me. I guess she wasn't enjoying paper-piecing as much as I was. LOL[/quote]
I've had this book for a very long time. I wouldn't trade it for any other book. It's great. I had it turned into spiral bound at Office Depot and love it even more now that the pages are so easy to copy. If you like paper piecing, as I do, you'll really love it. You know Carol Doak is the Queen of paper piecing!!

Joann's Fabrics has my number, when it comes to buying quilting books. I'm always getting those 50% off coupons.
This week I bought Patchwork Table Runners.

Last week our local library had a book sale. All the books you could get into a shopping bag for $2.00. All were sewing & quilting books! ;-)

As a new quilter I have been buying lots of books on Ebay.

I'd love to read your review on this book.

Bev, I will have to look into Collaborate Again.

I have Freddies House, one of my all time favorites. It is one of two I have turned into spiral bound.

I like this thread, hope it keeps going.

Yes, I have seen books for charm packs and jelly rolls at Field's Fabrics, JoAnn's and my LQS.

Eightlady - I recently purchased "Schnibbles Times Two - Quilts From 5" or 10" Squares" by Carrie Nelson, published by That Patchwork Place". I can't wait to try out the one on the cover - if I simply must buy some fabric and can't decide what, I usually end up with a charm pack so I really need this book.

Pat Speth's collection of "Nickel Quilts" books uses 5" charm squares to make har quilts - many ideas there.
