Some times a sequel just doesn't measure up to the "First" one.
You will be pleasantly surprised at......

another BITE OF SCHNIBBLES....

As far as I am concerned, Miss Rosie & Carrie
can keep printing Schnibbles books until they
have no Schnibbles left to publish.

You will find the same clean, easy to understand
layout that Carrie is famous for.

Great photos, 12 quilts in two sizes.
So much inspiration you will want to make them
over and over again.......... trying new color combinations.

I just love this book!

There are so many new fun books that focus on a more "MODERN"
style of quilting.
This book contains the building blocks to get you quilting.
I loved the short, well written, lessons on HUE, CONTRAST, VALUE & SCALE.
There are 16 projects that combine designer prints & solid fabrics.
You will find Quilts, Pillows, Bags & more.....
If you never buy a book unless you plan to make at least 5 projects
from it.....You will be inspired to make so many more.

The projects contain just enough structure to get you creating,
yet not too technical to keep even a beginner from attempting them.
You will never look at solids in the same way!

I think you will really enjoy this book!

WONKY.....seems to be the buzz word in modern quilting.
The Wonky technique is both fun and easy to learn.
Take a traditional block, trim it at a new angle, and
then you have it........a perfectly beautiful yet funky block.

Put a bunch of them together & you have a wonderful
fresh modern twist on a traditional quilt.

Thee "Wonky" technique is very clearly laid out.
The photos and step by step instructions are easy to
follow for even the beginner quilter.

True to it's title, you will only be making 1 block
over and over again for each quilt.

You will also love the charts for Crib-King size.
Great cutting instruction & border options to finish
your quilts to perfection.

I think if you are looking for something fun to try,
You will find inspiration for many new projects
within the pages of this great book!

So many of the wonderful new fresh fabrics available come

in large scale prints.

This may create a challenge when selecting a pattern.

This book packs a lot of punch in it's 20 pages!

You get 9 designs......which will give you a great opportunity

to create using those wonderful large scale prints.

I really love the charts which give you size choices from Lap size to Queen.

There is also a pattern for a wonderful tree skirt and a super fun table runner.

The color photos are very well done and the instructions & layouts

are clear and concise.

With a price of $16.00....I think it is an especially great value!

Little Apples Diamond Quilt

2011-12-31T10:33:00.000-07:00

This darling quilt was created by one of our great teachers
also a former employee at Broadbent's.....
Kristin Barrus from sadiebird.blogspot.com
She just fell in love with the fabric when it came in
and had to create something from it.

The quilt was created as an inspiration piece.....but
it's so darn cute many of you want to recreate it.

Here are some simple instructions, by no means a
pattern yet, but enough instruction that a confident
quilter could re-create it without too much trouble.

"Colorful Quilts for Fabric Lovers"

I admit I am a fabric lover.....
I don't buy for a project, I buy because I love
a particular piece and can't live without it.

I loved studying this book to learning some tricks
to turn my fabric into quilts.

Most of the quilts have a modern flair but they are
very adaptable to what ever you love.

Usually when I review a book there is a lot of reading through background information, introductions, explanations, etc.

This book cuts to the chase and dives right into the projects.

10 different quilt projects, all have their origins in traditional quilts....
but the author has given them a modern fresh twist.

Each project has a simple, short and informative introduction and then off to
the business of cutting & sewing.

What I LOVE about this book:
1.) The graphic, instructions & photos are so clear and detailed.
2.) There are directions to make a crib, lap, twin & queen size for each project.
3.) Most of the projects are in the beginner level and totally achievable.

I really think this is a book I will make each and every quilt once
(maybe even twice), it can be a great go to when I need a quick
darling baby quilt. Give it a look!

Have you ever wanted to eat, shop, photograph, or QUILT....your way
through a country?

I had my first craving to do just that after I read "Under the Tuscan Sun"
(which is much better as a book than a movie).
I love the idea of totally exploring a new experience using all
my available senses.
I think i just makes an experience so much richer.

My next experience was a trip to Europe where I suddenly found myself
sketching tile floors & photographing stained glass windows.
Maybe some day they will make it into fabric creations.

"From Spain with Love" by Roberta Cardew
11 quilts celebrating Mediterranean color.....
brings Spain alive....The colors, the scenery, the foods are
captured within the pages of this quilt related book.

Beautiful Photos, great lessons in color, challenging projects,
and fun recipes to try.

I enjoyed reading about her quilting journey & was inspired to create!
I think you too will enjoy this beautifully done book.

I found it such a feast for the eyes & mind.

For those of you who are exploring the world of "Modern Quilting"...
We are on the look out for books that will give you inspiration
for that next project.
There are 6 different quilt designs.....all very achievable.
I think my favorites are the "Chevron Stripe" because I love
being able to use my scraps from my stash and adding in a little
something to pull it all together. I also love the "Octagons"...
Any time you can sew straight seams and get the look of a circular
block is great in my book.
The graphic and instructions are done very nicely. The price point
on this book is under $15.00 which I think makes it a great value!

SIMPLIFY.......Oh I wish it was that easy!
This is a great book for the Modern Quilter
or as Camille Roskelley says....

"All those Moms who just want to make something that
stays done"

I love the fresh layout, wonderful photos, clear instructions &
most of all the sweet side notes she adds throughout the book.

The book uses pre-cuts as it's main focus, but if you are into
cutting and looking to carve down your stash.....
I think there is much inspiration to be gathered.

I loved it!

Block Party..."The Modern Quilting Bee"

Thinking about trying something new?

Modern Quilting is the newest up and coming quilting trend.....

This book organizes and builds on some ideas that have been out in the quilting world over
the past couple of years.

The forward to the book is written by
Denyse Schmidt....
She is a pioneer in the "Modern" quilting movement.

I love the "Quilting Bee" idea. This makes it easy to
organize projects for a group whether it be in person or
online.

I especially like the personal notes from each of the 12 women who participated.

The photos are wonderful and the projects enticing!

+ a lot of fun blogs to visit!
