New Books 

September

If you paper paper piece or applique you will love this book of quilt blocks. It really does have a block for every season or special occasion.  It has both pieced and appliqued numbers and letters as well as a substantial floral collection.

Quilt Mavens by  Deb Karasik and Janet Mednick.   This is a book for those members who enjoy paper piecing. The first few patterns look quite easy and the author assures us that the method for putting them together is simple. Many of the following patterns are really spectacular. The book comes with two CD's, one with instructions and the other with a bonus pattern. Paper piecers take note - this could be your entry for next year's quilt show.

Beautifully Embellished Landscaping. This book covers 125 tips and techniques for creating stunning quilts. Everyone who has seen this book wants to take it out so I expect it will be a very poplular addition to our collection.

Even though some of you couldn't make it to Paducah, you can still see the show.  We have the American Quilter's Society 2007  "Catalogue of Show Quilts" in our library. These quilts are the best of the best - a truly amazing collection.
