My favorite book(s) is Lynette Jensen's "The Best Quilts from Thimbleberries" and also Eleanor Burns Quilt in a Day books. When not quilting, I enjoy reading the books by Jennifer Chiaverini. Her series follows some quilters, their lives, retreats, etc. I have decided to read her entire series--I'm just about to begin book #3. Thanks for doing this giveaway.

That all depends on what type of project I want to work on! <br />I've found that rather than a pattern book or techique book I've been drawn to inspiration books. My all-time favorite and the one I pick up almost daily just to look at the photos is "The Art of Annemieke Mein" Annemieke Mein is an unbelievably gifted textile artist who creates realistic renderings of bugs, birds, and things most of us would stay away from just because of the ewwwww factor. If you ever get a chance to get your hands on this book, you won't be disappointed in her truly amazing artwork.Sonia Hensleyhttp://www.youcanquiltit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378175096875819173.post-3749026278900393452010-05-27T05:42:09.969-07:002010-05-27T05:42:09.969-07:00What a wonderful giveaway!

My favorite(s) are probably Quilts from the Quiltmaker's Gift and More Quilts from the Quiltmaker's Gift. They're full of detailed instructions, multiple pattern sizes, design challenges, block history, and at least three different quilts made from each pattern. Each book features at least one or two quilts that were made by children (usually with help from an adult). I find them to be not only inspiring, but a great reference.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
