Quilting Information on the Web

This lens and it's companions Quilting With Friends, The Quilting Emporium, Quilting Questions Answered, will tell you all you need to know about Quilting - the techniques, the patterns, the supplies you need, all the 'how to' questions you can think of and much more besides. I will be scouring the Web to find out the best sites for you to get what you need to help you enjoy our craft. 

I'm always open to suggestions about what to put on the lens and welcome your input  - leave a note in the Guest Book.  Feel free to add sites to the Plexo's and share any good finds with us all.

My Favourite Quilting Book 

Magic Pillows, Hidden Quilts

Magic Pillows, Hidden Quilts

by: Karin Hellaby

Amazon Price: $16.00 (as of 05/24/2012)Buy Now

I love this book, it has clear diagrams and excellent instructions. By following the step by step guidelines you can create a magical quilt in a matter of hours. Quillows are a wonderful invention, a whole quilt tucked neatly into a cushion cover. I have them all over the place, you never know when you need that extra bit of warmth - and they are neat and tidy at the same time. I even have one in the car which doubles as a back seat cushion!

Sew a Row Quilts

Sew a Row Quilts

by: Karin Hellaby

Amazon Price: $13.95 (as of 05/24/2012)Buy Now

This is a book for anyone who loves fun quilts and likes to do them quickly. Karin Hellaby gives really clear instructions, uses fabric economically and helps you get your quilt done in record time. I have several of her books and they are my favorite quilting books. Excellent diagrams and instructions and good for beginners or experienced quilters alike.
