Elaray Intermediate PA USA Member since 4/20/05 Posts: 723	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 1/25/12 11:03 AM I've been a garment sewer for almost 40 years. I took my first quilting class about 1 1/2 years ago and have made 2 quilts in addition to my class quilt. I'd like to purchase a comprehensive book for quilting, much like the Reader's Digest Complete guide to Sewing for garment sewers. Any recommendations? ------ I sew, therefore I am.

It's a skinny book but it teachers a huge amount. ------ sarah in nyc www.sewnewyork.blogspot.com

Quilter's Complete Guide -- Marianne Fons and Liz Porter Better Homes and Gardens Complete Guide to Quilting Quilter's Ultimate Visual Guide from A to Z Ellen Pahl Quilter's Academy Vol 1 Freshman Year - Harriet Hargrave That may get you started! I really want the Harriet Hargrave series. While they are different volumes, and lessons, I think they could be bound in a spiral or two. Otherwise, right now, I have started with Nancy Zieman's Quilting with Confidence. Not a huge book, but it does cover everything pretty well. ------ Bernina 730E, 530, and 350PE Juki TL2010 Singer 221 FW, 403a When life gives you green velvet curtains, make a green velvet dress.

I have done the first project, and now on to the first full quilt project. I have quilted before, but mostly an apparel and misc sewer. I feel like I am getting an excellent start with the freshman book. My fantasy goal is to finish this book this year. Love adding and subtracting from my Amazon cart several times a week--excellent pasttime as long as you don't push the final button!
