It is holiday week for us so not a lot of stitching is getting done.
I did have a minute to look at some quilting books!
We all have our favorites for lots of different reasons.
Here are some of mine!
The spiral binding is nice and the best pages ever are:
The oiling instructions!
The remainder of the book is great too.
David McCallum really knows his stuff and
encourages Featherweight owners to be adventurous and
repair their machines. Fun if you are brave but I am still
not removing the tension knob!
Next favorite is this goody.
I must say that this book really inspired me.
I've made three out of this book and 2 actually
looked like the picture (more or less).
The cover photo morphs into a completely different
quilt if you make 150 subunits with the wrong color placement.
Not sure how I managed but it turned out like this!
Also in this book are curved 9-patches.
I cannot (will not, don't want to) sew
melon shapes so I waited until the
Quick Curve ruler came out.
I have 37 blocks made and still
am not thrilled with the process.
See the ruler lurking in the bag?
post a link when I find it. They have so many tutorials.
Here is a picture of another 'looks like a curved 9 patch'
quilt I may try. Always looking for a short cut!
no completions this week.
Stay safe and sew on .
Linking up with:
Two things: I like the not curved curved quilt and, if you find another Cerlox machine, let me knoiw. I already have the coils!
ReplyDeleteI'll keep an eye out for you !!!
Deletesnails trail and friendship star are two of my favorite patterns. I had never noticed their similarity before. I love the stars with the little 4 patches.
ReplyDeleteFor a large mistake/mis-sew it turned out well!
DeleteWhat a lot of inspiration! No wonder it's a favorite book of yours. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

You are very welcome. What a great community we have!
DeleteI know at least one lady in the guild has that binding machine for books.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to know which books other quilters love. I have a problem--I love them ALL! We had one of those comb binding machines in my library back in the day. It's a nice flat finish for anything with instructions.
ReplyDeleteHi Deb, we all seem to have our favourite quilting books. Putting the coil is a great idea to make them more useable. Thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks.
