Lark Books

Lark Books, 2008

Love it!!
I really love this book. The projects are all so pretty! They are fun, clever and easy to do in a short time. I've made a couple already and want to make them all. Plus, the ideas are really customizable to your own taste. The book is well-designed, the photos beautiful and tempting and the illustrations add charm...and maybe describe the project a little. But the instructions are so clear, ...

Stewart, Tabori and Chang STC Craft Melanie Falick Book, 2007

My go-to how-to book
I bought this book for the inspiration and beautiful photos, and it's worth having for those qualities alone. The author's taste is impeccable (without being imperious), and she often combines fabrics in fresh ways. I love the melding of modern and traditional sensibilities. I'm fairly new to sewing and quilting, and this book has become a real resource for me. I have made several projects ...

Patchwork Patterns

Jinny Beyer

Howell Press Inc., 1979

Learn to draft your own patterns in any size!
This is one of my all-time favorite reference books. Jinny Beyer shows you how to take any block and break it into smaller units (4-patch, 9-patch, Mariner's Compass, etc). Instead of "copying" that pattern you admire in a quilt magazine (in the size THEY give you), you'll learn to enlarge or shrink it to the size YOU want! Every new quilter should learn to draft patterns...and many old ...

The Patchwork Girl of Oz (Books of Wonder)

L. Frank Baum

HarperCollins, 1995

Patchwork Girl leaves you in stitches
This book marks Baum's return to the world of Oz after trying to quit his fabled story land in an attempt to muse upon new subjects--thankfully, it was an unsuccessful attempt, and he came back with delightful vengeance in this remarkable story. "The Patchwork Girl of Oz" is one of Baum's longer Oz books, and it is also very plot-driven, somewhat of an exception for him. Luckily, this plot--the ...

Quilting, Patchwork and Applique: A World Guide

Caroline Crabtree, Christine Shaw

Thames & Hudson, 2007

Quilting, patchwork and applique: a world guide
Great overview of these needleworks, but I thought it would be more of a visual review of quilts from around the world, instead of detailed sections on each type of needlework. I had no way to know what was inside the book prior to purchase. Beautifully put together and very informative.

Anne Tyler

Ballantine Books, 1999

The World's Greatest Living Author
She remains an amazing author. I've hit a patch where I read about a man leaving his family, a suicide and a brother who blames himself for it, and a woman leaving her family. Anne Tyler always hits very close to home regardless of what the book is allegedly "about," because that's part of being Anne Tyler. But this wasn't quite so "heavy" a book as the others, so I welcomed it. It's one of those ...

Insider Look at Homeschooling
We have a 2.5 year and 10 month old, with hopefully more on the way. Having been formally trained in elementary ed., homeschooling sounded more do-able without all of the bureaucracy or parent-teacher headaches that come with it. I did not have the 'guts' as my oldest would say to do this until I read about the REAL experiences of these other brave mom and dad teams that are providing the best ...

Bettye Stroud

Candlewick, 2007

A Well-written Fictional Story by Gifted Georgia Author
This memorable book is based on a story of quilts and The Underground Railroad passed down orally from grandmother to mother to daughter. Instead of nonfiction, this book is a well-written fictional story about a young slave girl, Hannah, living on a Southern plantation. Bettye Stroud's sensitive prose, illustrated by Erin Susanne Bennett's bold, angular drawings, is an excellent way to introduce ...

That Patchwork Place, 1997

Welcome to the North Pole
I found this to be a charming project. Very versatile for making one block or many. Also, the possibilities were endless for decorating and using materials, buttons etc on hand. Instructions were clear and it could be easy (iron on ) or more experienced (hand appliqued completely.) I will be making several for next year. (Not enough time for this year)!
