New Books!

I love my Kindle and I love Nook on my IPAD. But there's nothing, nothing, nothing like having a new quilting book in your own hands!

You should get a look at all these new publications!  Love it, love it, love it! This one

will come in handy when I get the Gammill down here

and you get to try out quilting on the machine YOURSELF! 

Yep- going to have some lesson, THEN you can rent time on

the machine and finish your own quilts!

I've been enjoying all the quilts lately that use solids. In my case, I might

use more fabrics that *read* as solids. We DO have some solids

on order so keep watching!  Now this quilt - in the MIdnight Quilts book-

I might try using a slate gray or something....

This is an interesting book! Always good to have quilting bees- even

for modern quilt blocks!  

LOVE this one! 

 and this one!

 And this one too!

Right now, the one below is my favorite book.  I took it

to the local Staples and had it wire bound so that it would

lie flat . Great, huh?

You might have noticed that these all tend toward "modern".  I've really been enjoying the simplicity of the "modern" quilts.  Did you know that there's a Modern Quilt Guild in Oklahoma City?  The recently held a Quilt Show of their modern quilts.  I didn't get to go but the pics klook great! 

If you'd like to visit the BLOG you can see their snapshots.  I'm hoping their guild

will bring their quilts to our place for a show....maybe in
September???????
