Every quilter should own this

Posted by The Canadian Quilter, Autumn 2015 on Sep 14th 2015

This is one of those books every quilter should have in their quilting library. It is not being released until after I submit this article to my editor, I do not own it, but I do have something every similar in my reference materials. It is a go-to book when you are trying to remember something not necessarily new, but you have not done before, or you need to refresh your memory. Even with my experience, I still refer to my book. Alex's book will have the advantage that it is brand new, so products mentioned are current. The pictures included are wonderful, if not inspiring! This book is a complete quilt-making class from beginning to end.

A Master Class From an Expert Quilter

Posted by Library Journal, July 2015 on Jul 1st 2015

Prolific quilter and TV host Anderson (Scrap Quilting with Alex Anderson) has been quilting for over 35 years, and her expertise shines in this extensive guide to the quilt making process. All of the basics are included, such as supply and fabric selection, tips for cutting and piecing, and instructions for quilting and binding. Anderson also includes in-depth explorations of pen-and-paper quilt block drafting and the mathematics of quilting—topics that are rarely covered in most foundational quilt making books but are essential for those interested in turning their ideas into physical items. Instructions for appliqué, hand-quilting, and hand-piecing are also included, and these slow-sewing techniques are experiencing a renaissance as the contemporary quilting boom moves beyond the essentials. Overall, it’s like taking a master class from an expert quilter who not only knows the material but understands the best way to teach others. VERDICT This thorough yet not overwhelming guide is ideal for novices, but experienced quilters will find it a useful reference as well.
