My first quilt book was by Eleanor Burns and was spiral bond. It was recommended by a quilt store, because I had to wait 2 months to take their beginning quilting class. I had just dropped off my only child, a son, at college for his freshman year and needed something to do to fight the empty nest syndrome. I started quilting that day in 2001 and made a Ohio star quilt. I don't know the name of the book because I loaned it to a sister-in-law and never got it back. It featured 3 quilts and I think "Trio" was in the title.
