I was going to buy some other stuff. But I thought I haven't brought a new sewing/book in a long time. So I'm not really up to date on the good ones. Any particular ones you like? ------ quiltingwolf.blogspot.com

It's fairly basic, but was a good fill in for quite a few techniques that no one ever bothered to teach me! Plus it comes with patterns. The BurdaStyle Handbook is similar - I'd say look at both and see which would be better for you. It's main feature is that they show several variations for each pattern - so for the more advanced it's more of an inspiration book. Both have several reviews on Amazon.

Cruise B&N for the used but in good shape books - oh how I love using gift cards for used books or NOOK books!Seems like saving twice! I have gotten so many used sewing books in really good shape - maybe even unread. That way I don't feel bad giving them away either! I meant to add that I got that Quilting book I reviewed used as well. ;) Quilting Projects By Machine from the Singer series - great! -- Edited on 1/22/13 1:27 PM -- ------ "Be kind whenever possible.

Date: 1/22/13 3:27 PM QW, that's such an open-ended question I don't know where to begin Do you want to learn something new? Traditional? Art Quilt? FMQ? Applique? Color theory? I'm a gadfly when it comes to quilting books - I want to learn everything I see. ------ Tess On threadpainting flowers: "How many colors are in a flower? ... How many do you have?" - Ellen Anne Eddy

All the quilts are from scraps and there is a large section on organizing, what to save and such. I've been looking at some of the Japanese quilting books...way too complicated for me but fun to look at. You might enjoy them. Japanese Quilting ------ 2009-113.25 yds 2010-115.5 2011-80.25+30+donated 2012 86.3 yds.. 2013 21.0 Everyone who sews seriously has a stockpile of fabrics, because it is natural to purchase more than can be sewn in any one season" Singer, Timesaving Sewing, 1987
