check used book stores in your area - never know what they may have. Thrift stores as well. You might get lucky.

half.com
amazon.com
bn.com

I have 2 quilt books I want, both out of print, and apparently everyone else wants them too b/c I can't find them under $50...lol I'll wait. The library has them in the meantime.

If amazon doesn't have it, try overstock.com

but what is the pattern name in the book that you love, sometimes patterns are in different books, and even with different names. Anyway to get a picture of the quilt? But let us know the name of the pattern/design and maybe one of us has it! I know the feeling.

this is exactly the kind of project to put your own stamp on.... you can surely make the patch and star blocks, using basic sq. patterns simply adjusted.. the embroidery is another creative spot... give it a whirl...

Borrow the book and print out the pattern for the people in the group.

I looked all over the internet and can't find it.

I called my local quilt shop to see if she might have it. She is checking. Maybe somebody has it & will sell. Would love to have this one myself. We will keep looking for you. Good luck.

Use the Bing search engine, I just did and you'll get lots of hits. Just type in american sampler quilter. Hope this helps

Try a local quilt guild.

Well, that would explain why it's out of print, try freecycle, kijiji, craigslist, ebay, and library resources too. Good luck.
