I have to admit to being a collector of books and don't necessarily have a favorite. I just love having them to leaf through on a quiet night when hubby is in bed already!

I love all of the Kaffee Fasset books. Such wonderful eye-candy that just soothes the quilter's soul!

To shake it up a bit - New Cuts for New Quilts - More Ways to Stack the Deck by Karla Alexander. Whole lot of shaking going on there!

Yes, indeed, the "Quilter's Bible."

Don't you just love her? Have you seen her on "Simply Quilts"? She is a stitch. I have her books too.

Question: is the Complete Guide to Quilting the same as Quilter's Complete Guide?

That is also my favorite. I have used it for years. Everytime I look through it I see something different.
