Georgia Bonesteel
Many of you newer quilters might not have seen this PBS series called "Lap Quilting With Georgia Bonesteel". I was surprised to have found them on U-tube. Some of her patterns may seem out of date but her fundamentals of quilting are great. Enjoy

I made a quilt using her book and patterns, I too was new to quilting.. I knew nothing about bias and straight grain. That quilt was a disaster. But she is one great teacher. I am gonna watch these.

Thank you so much for posting this. Georgia Bonesteel was my idol back in the 70's when I used to watch her on PBS but was too poor to buy the material and begin quilting. Now that I'm IN my 70's I can buy the material but find myself poor again because of it :-)

Georgia Bonesteel was one of the first quilters I saw on PBS that helped me get hooked on quilting. I bought her pattern and template sets every month and wound up with 2 binders of her patterns and templates called Spinning Spools. My daughter picked out the pattern for the one and only full size quilt that I ever quilted, she still has it and I think she plans on giving it to our only grand daughter some day, as she won't be having children. I'll have to look for her on You Tube, thanks for the heads up. She had a show on PBS a few years ago, but haven't heard much about her lately. She really had a wealth of information on quilting, by hand and by machine.
