Quilts from The House of TULA PINK by Tula Pink



I have been waiting for this book to come into the store so I could devour every page!

Tula Pink is such a creative genius........she loves design more than structure and rules, she is fiercely brave in her discovery of unique techniques for construction.

Many of the quilts and projects (there are 20 of them) have a more modern flair, but pair your slightly dated fabrics with a fresh current solid and you'll have a great creation.

The patterns, instructions and layouts are hand sketched instead of computer generated which gives the book a real artistic feeling.

She takes great care to include tips on choosing and combining fabrics,
selecting a quilting motif, and even sketching your own fabric designs.

This is such a fun and interesting book, with many quilts I am itching to create.  I hope you take a look for yourself!

Fast and Fun FIRST QUILTS by Sara Diepersloot

Martingale - Fast and Fun First Quilts (Print version + eBook bundle)

I love the title alone on this book. 
It says......18 Projects for Instant Gratification!

Now who wouldn't go for that?

These quilts use large pieces, strip piecing, and simple techniques.
They are simple yet stylish.

Sometimes starting to quilt can be intimidating and a book like this with these
great designs can have you on your way in no time.

Photos and layouts are great, instructions are easy to understand.
The author has included an alternate color way for your interest.

I think these would make fun quick quilts for gifting, or the book
would make a great gift for that blossoming quilter in your life.
Put it with a few fat quarters and "Perfection".....
What more could you want?

String Fling by Bonnie K. Hunter

StringFlingcoverlg1

If you are familiar at all with Bonnie Hunter and her magnificent use of scraps
in her quilt creations, you will be equally drawn to her latest book
"String Fling".

This book contains 13 string based quilts which will have you digging
into your scrap bins.

String quilts are most definitely one of a kind quilts. 
You can never make two alike.

Bonnie has gone into great detail instructing you from the basics of
what a string quilt is, to how wide strips should be, paper foundations,
sewing guidelines, sizes to cut your scraps into as you "pre-cut"
your scraps and much more.

The quilts are all great starting points for your imagination to run wild.

I think you will enjoy the creative, economical, fabric wise,
String Fling...Scrappy, Happy and Loving It!

"We Love Color"....by 16 Iconic Designers



This book is both a tribute and a celebration of "Kona Cotton Solids"
The introduction to the book is very interesting as it explains the history
as well as the process of producing this Iconic quilting solid.

The projects in this book are a partnership of 16 leading designers in the
Modern Quilt Movement who created quilts using Kona Cotton exclusively.

I think you will come away inspired and excited to use more solids in your
quilting projects.

I really loved examining each quilt closely, especially the quilting.
I just love the graphic qualities in each creation.

Photos are wonderful, Instructions are clear and easy to follow.
The quilts range from beginner to advanced in construction.

The back of the book holds an interview with Denyse Schmidt as
well as short bio's. on each of the designers.

What will you do with the more than 200 colors of Kona Cotton?
