Some new books

I bought these three books for the library for my quilting group, Star Sea Quilters, and I think I need to buy my own copies.

I did a on-line course a number of years ago with Jacque Geering and have all the notes but that is not as detailed as the information you find in a book.

The books are

WALK

I have already written about this one here.  This book could keep you going forever with ways to quilt.

Walk 2

This book builds on the first book with a lot more patterns but also good advice about how you compose your quilting and how you suit the patterns to the quilt.

I know that some people like to do the piecing of a quilt and then hand over their work to a long arm quilter, that is what I have done in the past and there will some quilts that I will do just that with in the future but having the ability to design, piece and quilt my work is very appealing.  Since I am slowing losing the use of my right arm this is something that will keep me sewing.

 

The third book is written in collaboration with Katie Pedersen with lots of other ways to quilt.

If you are like me and you find 'free motion' quilting a challenge these three books could give you access to lots of quilting skills.
