My brother just had a new little girl and her birth has inspired me to design a series of quilts for her, her sister, and my daughter.I tried to use the colors of their various birthstones and limited my fabric pallette to Jinny Beyer's new collection, County Clare. I'm rather pleased with the results.

Quilting Books
- Joanne Larsen Line: Quilts From The Quilmaker's Gift
Just as inspiring as the story books it comes form. This would be a great book for a beginner, novice, or expert quiltmaker. The quilts in the pictures are very inspiring and the instructions for each project are laid out very well. The authur gives a fabric list for each quilt for several sizes and then explains the construction process. - Jeff Brumbeau: Quiltmaker's Journey
This is actually a prequel to the first book. The "life story" of the Quiltmaker is beautifully told and the art work is just as stuning as the first. Inspiring to any quiltmaker. - Jeff Brumbeau: Quiltmaker's Gift
I fell in love with this book as soon as I saw it at my local quilt shop. It practically leapt into my stack of things I was purchasing. I love the arework. Quilt patterns and fabric images are so beautifully woven into each scene. I've bought every book associated with this one and have loved them all. I haven't read it to M- and A- yet, they haven't developed the patience to sit and listen to it yet ..but soon. - Pat Speth: Nickel Quilts
I've wanted this book for awhile but still haven't bought it yet. I'm participating in my guilds' charm square exchange on the assumption I will eventually buy this book. - Jinny Beyer: Designing Tessellations
I need to add this book to my wishlist. I love tesselating patterns and would like to learn how to dessign my own. - Jinny Beyer: Quiltmaking by Hand
I love all of the sewing history in this book. Everything you need to know about hand piecing a quilt. Very inspiring and motivating. An easy read. - Marsha McCloskey: Blended Quilts
I took a class from Marsha one year at the MAQF and enjoyed it immensely. I love flipping through this book to see the beautiful quilts.
