I found Marsha McCloskey's "Quick Classic Quilts" at a garage sale a few weeks ago. I love the log cabin on page 60 called Sunshine-In-The-Window. It has a yellow center with a lot of light blues in one furrow and dark blues in the other. There is another one called "Grandmother's Dream that is one large (bed sized) log cabin. They used red, white and blue. This is an old book published in 1996 but if you love McCloskey or log cabins this is a book for you!

Crazy Quilting, The Complete Guide, and Motifs for Crazy Quilting, techniques for embroidering and embellishing crazy quilts, both by J. Marsha Miehler. I haven't had time to do more than just browse yet but can't wait to get into them properly and get stitching.
Yesterday I went to what is touted as the biggest secondhand book sale in the world! It is run by a charity here in Aus. called Lifeline and I think they could be right, it was absolutely enormous. There were thousands and thousands of quilting and stitching mags. but I had a lot of them but did find one that had a particular pattern I had been looking for, plus a few more just in case. Mags were $A1 each.
Off the subject but also got several biographies and husband found an encyclopaedia of bread making. He's in the kitchen right now kneading a batch of sourdough.

And I can never resist a book by Gwen Marston and Freddy Moran. They are GREAT together. And alone too. Either way, I love them. Their books are just wonderful!
