Quilting Books

Rather than getting a book, try going to Quilterscache.com and look through the patterns there. There is alot to choose from, and they are 'pinned' beginner, intermediate and advanced. Directions are included with each pattern block and they are FREE!

I recommend the series by Harriet Hargrave -- Quilter's Academy. So far 4 books have been printed with the 5th out next year. These books take you from beginner quilting to designing your own quilts.

Both Eleanor Burns and Harriet Hargrave are great. I would also recommend Fons and Porter's, The Joy of Quilting. Beginner classes at a LQS are great and there is someone right there to give hands-on help. In addition Burns and F&P have very helpful videos on their websites. It's good to look at several books. Might try the library before you buy. All these people have different techniques and ways of doing things. Try different ideas and techniques to see what suits you.

I have the books from my mother's collection of patterns. I look through them and drool, but I have found the Quilter's Cache to be the easiest and neatest way to do the "job"! Edie
