5 Favorite Quilting/Fabric Art Books
Do you have favorite books that have helped you with your quilting and fabric art? Perhaps they are instructional. Others may be inspirational. Maybe they delve into quilting history. Also, you may read some for pure enjoyment.
These also may change, depending on your current quilting needs and interests. Some of your favorites may be out of print, but if someone searches diligently, they probably can find with a copy.
I asked my daughter Beth (Meandering Threads) what her five favorite books currently are. She actually came up with six, two by the same author.
1. The Painted Quilt by Linda & Laura Kempshall
2. Landscape in Contemporary Quilts by Ineke Berlyn
3. Hand-Dyed Fabric Made Easy by Adriene Buffington
4. Contemporary Quilts: Design, Surface & Stitch
Creative Quilts: Inspiration, Texture & Stitch both by Sandra Meech
5. Mixed Media Explorations by Beryl Taylor
Let me know what your 5 favorite are and I’ll mention them here.
