But as I want to learn new projects that is when I buy a book on that style. And since my family has a habit of never getting rid of books (I swear it is genetic) I keep them forever. (I did send my sister the Eleanor Burns book "Egg Money Quilts" so I can share.) I'm sorry that isn't much help. Are you just putting together a library or trying to help someone else?
This would be for me. I would say something like the encyclopedia you mentioned. I am going to try to go out side the "block" so to say. I want to try applique and Freel motion and would like to try some crazy quilting.
