I LOVE books and there is nothing better to me than a quilt book ! ! So, here is MY opinion of the 15 MUST HAVE Quilt books for ALL Quilter's

I've added a link for each book, MOST may be purchased  new or used and I've seen a few at our local Goodwill book store, so shop around. Don't forget the library too !

A Wall Quilt Done and UP - It's a Big ONE

Pin It

I've wanted to do this for a VERY long time. I have drawn it out, measured and re-drawn it. And, it's up and as I've said before I LOVE IT ! 

The Quilt measures 82 inches wide and 92 inches long! 
Machine pieced and machine applique.
Wall Quilt on a Frame

I wanted it to cover the windows behind our bed. It's so sunny and light, this makes it dark, the older I get sleep is needed.... I don't sleep I don't keep up with Husband.

Husband made the frame,
