Scraps From the Past

This month we are doing  "Scraps From the Past" for the River Countyr Quilters' Guild(RCQG) Block of the Month (BOM). We are using left over fabric from previous BOM's and previous direction sets to make up the kits. Participants will get to randomly draw their kits from the basket so there is no telling what you get. Sounds like so much! Below is a set of directions that will be in the kits.

Heart of Hearts (January 2007 Block)Download rcq_valentine.doc

Remember, the copyrights of all RCQG BOM directions belong to the guild. We don't mind sharing but please give credit where appropriate.

Teresa, let me know if you would like the Maple Leaf, Jacob's Ladder, Dipped Chicks (basket block), and/or Waves of the Sea directions. I have copies of all the directions we did together.

Thanks! and Enjoy!

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.
