Surprised no one listed this sooner --RICKY TIMS' CONVERGENCES and if I can add a dvd --- Quilting Caveman Style and Fishing. I am sure Grand Finale will also be a favorite as soon as I get it. P>S> This is not an entry added to gain favor with the author but a true and accurate response. Convergences sits on my sewing table or on my cutting table all the time Thanks Ricky-- Ann

I mentioned this book in a different forum but decided that I should mention it here. One of my all time favorite reference books is Rotary Magic by Nancy Johnson-Srebro. Even though the basic topic is rotary cutting, she delves into all kinds of techniques and areas. The pictures and diagrams are clear and it is easy to read and understand. You can't go wrong withthis book.

I love Earlene Fowler books.

My favorite quilt book is anything that Diane Gaudynski writes. I love that she is so free with sharing her quilting knowledge and she loves it when any of her students enter quilts in shows.

Can anyone recommend this book...
The Quilt Maniac's Playbook-Fuel for the Quiltmaker's Imagination by Nicole C. Chambers
Each month, my quilt shop offers a Book of the Month at 20% off, and would be interested in this book if it would help a novice, such as myself!

Of all the books I own, I use "All About Quilting from A to Z" the most. I'm self-taught through library books, magazines, and of course,
alex's show. This book has lots of good details and hints and tips.

My favorite quilt related book is A PEOPLE AND THEIR QUILTS by John Rice Irwin. I grew up near Cumberland Gap, Tennessee...sitting down and reading bits and pieces from this book is almost like sitting down and visiting with my mother who passed away in 1996.

Not to be TOO cute, but it's usually the last one I read!
