I am trying to find the book by Jaynette Huff " Quilts from Grandmother's Garden".
It is out of print but I would like to get it cheap. Amazon has it for too much$. Has anyone seen it or have a copy they might like to share or sell???

ouchy ouchy on that price! betterworld supports literacy efforts worldwide and recycles used books. Sometimes they have things you can't get anywhere else... usually free shipping, too.

$20.13 Canadian is the best price I could find, but did not see what the shipping would be.

They have it on sale for twenty bucks at amazon ...

nativetexan 06-02-2010 07:09 PM

also try www.edwardrhamilton.com
search for the name. if it's a really new book, he probably won't have it. but if he does, most books are very cheap!

pbreon 06-02-2010 07:26 PM

I see it for 39.95 at Amazon (USA)

pbreon 06-02-2010 07:42 PM

Amazon Canada is 29.99 and the postage is a killer!!! (10.00)

Yikes... wish I could jsut get the pattern on the cover!

hope you find the book

patricej 06-03-2010 04:01 AM

how many different patterns/layouts does the book include? i ask because i couldn't find a description that provided that much detail.

considering that the pattern on the front would most likely sell for at least $7 by itself, if there are more than 4 different patterns in the book then $20 or so is a fair price.

it's 80 pages long. i suspect there are more than 4 patterns inside.

naturally, i hope you find a copy for a price you can afford to pay right now. if not, save up for it. i don't think you'll be sorry in the end.

I noticed on the order it said, "Find it at your local library". I have gone to our library and was surprised at all the books on quilting so it is worth a try. I have found some patterns that I want to make in the future.

pbreon 06-03-2010 04:28 AM

I did see that about Local Library.... I am going to venture out today and see if ours has it. There is also a used book store here in Town I am going to check out as well...
I many of the sites people who have had this patterns say it is done in small Hex's but have made the larger ones for a bed spread and that is my goal..... i fell in love with the pattrn when I saw in on another blog, but cannot find that site again!!! bummer :cry: :cry: !!!

Up4BigChal 06-03-2010 04:32 AM

It would be worth looking at the Library to see if you'd like to spend that much money, Must be a great book at that price. :P

DeniseB 06-03-2010 04:35 AM

here is a site that has some info about book says 10 projects. BUT, they don't have the book, sorry, looks like a nice book to have.

I'm curious, why is this book so expensive? Is it because it is out of print, or is it a classic? I have never read about it before?

pbreon 06-03-2010 04:58 AM

I was thinking that too. if so many have priced it that high , it could be a treasure... well, will let you all know, in the mean time, keep checking for me gals, appreciate you help!! :wink:

Janetlmt 06-03-2010 06:03 AM

I have that book and it was 23.95 at Joann Fabrics. Of course, the cheap chick that I am..got it for 50% off. They still carry it at our local store.

pbreon 06-03-2010 12:23 PM

Wow!!! I will call mine here in MO and see if they have it!!!
Cheep!!! now that is a NO...that leaves More $$ for the fabric!!! :thumbup:

pbreon 06-03-2010 12:55 PM

pbreon 06-03-2010 01:00 PM

Janet, which store in Penn did you get yours, and I will call them...

ramonasct 06-04-2010 08:28 AM

Have you checked out half.com? It's a division of eBay and has great prices, Plus you can list your books, etc. to sell on there.

pbreon 06-04-2010 08:31 AM

I found it!!! on the Chegg.com site!!! IT IS ON ITS WAY!! :thumbup:

BellaBoo 06-04-2010 09:21 AM

Oh, I saw this post too late. I have all of Jaynette's books. She lives in a nearby town from me and has been to our guild several times. I could have gotten you the pattern. She sells a lot of her patterns separately on her own. She does not use email or internet much at all, says it takes up her quilting time. But will answer all phone calls. She's very friendly and loves to share what she knows about quilting. If you get the chance to have her at your guild, you are in for a treat.

pbreon 06-04-2010 09:25 AM

Well, you sre not too Late!!! I just recievec an e-mqil telling me it id not svsilsble... so I may need your assistance!!!

pbreon 06-04-2010 09:26 AM

whew!! that was a mess of a note!!! sorry!!
So tell me how I can get this book or pattern?
Thank you so much!!

pbreon 06-04-2010 07:33 PM
