\"Dec-Feb<\/a>
Dec-Feb Books<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I love books, am coming to love eBooks and Kindle books, but I just generally love books. I try not to buy too many regular fiction books as the Library has a perfectly good collection and I, mostly, don’t read fiction books more than once.<\/p>\n

My downfall is quilt books. I love quilt books. I used to buy every quilt book that came out. That was in the dark ages before a new quilt book came out every week. Now I have to pick and choose and still they overflow my shelves. Still I keep acquiring them. I love quilt books.<\/p>\n

I promise I am not gloating, but I wanted to share with you the books I received as gifts or bought with gift cards I received over the holidays and for my birthday. Most were off of my wish list, which I am thrilled about.<\/p>\n

I am part way through Adventures in Leaders and Enders<\/em> and have marked blocks I want to make in Modern Blocks<\/em>. Of course, I’ll do full reviews eventually, but I have to say that Bonnie K. Hunter does a nice job slipping tricks and tips into her book. I am using the Color and Design<\/em> book in my preparation for the podcast series<\/a> with Sandy. I will use Transparency Quilts<\/em> for the color segment when we get there.<\/p>\n

Setting Solutions<\/em> has been mentioned to me several times, so I finally bought it. I thought I saw today that Sharyn Craig had another book on the same subject, but I don’t remember where I saw it and can’t find it again. I am sure that Setting Solutions<\/em> will provide adequate insight on the subject.<\/p>\n

I still have some hope that I will, someday, renew my acquaintance with machine quilting. Foolproof Machine Quilting<\/em> is bound to be a good choice for that. Mary Mashuta is an knowledgeable teacher and clear writer.<\/p>\n

I heard about How to Keep A Sketchbook Journal<\/em> on Mark Lipinski’s Creative Mojo<\/a> and it is a beautiful book. It feels beautiful and the drawings are inspiring.<\/p>\n

I think drafting is a really important skill. Sally Collins is a meticulous quiltmaker who works in miniatures. Her Drafting for the Creative Quilter<\/em> will be a great addition to my teaching materials.<\/p>\n

I have a lot of good books to which to look forward this year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
