  1. I don't have a favorite because I don't have them. But I've been really wanting the Beginners Guide to Free Motion Quilting and Sweet Celebrations.

  2. My current favorite is Rayna Gillman's "Create Your Own Free-Form Quilts." Not only is it eye-candy, she addresses the need to sometimes just sit down and sew mindlessly, rather than feeling like you have to make a masterpiece every time you enter your sewing room. Definitely takes the pressure off. I'm doing to try to do more of that this year. 🙂

  4. (oh — I don't have any of the ones listed above so I don't know which of those would be my favorite. I'd love to see the Beginner's Guide, though)

  8. I haven't really quilted before and I don't have any quilting books, so I don't have a favorite yet. I'm really wanting to make a cathedral quilt this year so maybe I'll catch the quilting bug.

  10. What a wonderful give-away! So many great books. I would love the stitching book, but would be happy with any! Thanks so much.

  15. My favorite quilt book is Tradition With a Twist by Blanche Young and Dalene Young Stone. Don't have it yet, but Skip the Borders looks really good too.

  18. A recent favorite of mine is the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt book. I love seeing the stories that go with each block… even though I haven't made any of the blocks yet!

  20. My favorite is The Practical Guide to Patchwork by Elizabeth Hartman, I am a relative newbie and this book taught me how to quilt.

  21. I don't really have a specific favorite quilt book, however, my favorite type of quilt book are books that help to build technique . Right now I'm trying to perfect my machine quilting skills.

  27. My favorite quilting book is Modern Patchwork by Elizabeth Hartman.
    I would love to have Julie Herman's new book: Skip the Borders.

    ks(dot)eyles(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk

  32. The one I browsed the most is Material Obsession. The one I used the most is Carol Duke Sensational 9 patch stars ( paper piecing). Great list of books above … So much inspiration 🙂

  34. My go to and all time favorite in my small library is Sue Abrey's Pick Four. I do so love Sue's book.

  46. The book that I keep going back to is Fast Quilts from Fat Quarters by Barbara Chainey. I love the cutting directions and all the block diagrams.

  213. I would be interested in Beginner's Guide to Free-Motion Quilting, because I am just starting to include a lot more patterns to my quilts. I believe that the "quilting" is just as important as the pattern, and I love the feel of a piece that has a lot of stitiching. It also adds texture to the project. Look at the Amish quilts. They're pieces are limited on the color, but amazing on the stitching.

I have had it for over 15 years and I still can say that about it. -Jen Jeffery
    jenmjeffery@yahoo.com

  329. Choose just one? Sorry, it's a toss up between Barbara Brackman's Encyclopedia of Pieced Patterns (which I guess can be eliminated because we now have Block Base") and Jinny Beyers Blocks and Borders (because Barbara and Jinny enabled me to become a quilter "way back when."
    I would love the opportunity to spend enough time with some new books to be inspired in new ways!

  348. I don't own too many quilting books yet, but my FAVORITE so far is Simply Fat Quarters! The patters all totally appeal to me, they aren't too terribly complicated and each one is shown in several sizes. I do love this book!

  349. I love all quilting books but I would say right now my fave is Barbara Brackman's Civil War Sampler…very cool! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂

  350. I'm very new to quilting and because there is so much information on the Internet I've never even looked at a quilting book!! It would be great for me though, to learn new techniques and styles. Thanks!!

  352. Such a great give away. Thank you!
    I have always enjoyed the Quiltmaker's Gift series – the story book and the quilt pattern books.

  353. I'm new to quilting so have just started building up my library but my favourite so far is camille roskelley's simplify and my favourite fabric designer is aneela hoey!

  356. I have many favourites, but lately it has been Some kind of Wonderful by Anni Downs. Just love to browse through it, over and over again.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  360. What a fabulous collection of books! It would be wonderful to win one. My favorite quilting book is one I have had for a long time called Classic Patchwork and Quilting by Margit Echols.

  362. This is a terrible thing for a quilter to admit, but I don't own any quilting books! I think, though, that if I had to pick a favorite on my wish list it would have to be "Geared for Guys". Thanks for the chance to win!

  364. Wow! Thank you so much for the giveaway!
    My favourite quilting book is Pumpkins & spice, by Terri Degenkolb (Whimsicals)

    Best wishes,
    Tatyana

  365. I'm usually drawn to Kim Diehl, Kansas Troubles & Renee Nannerman; but, I can't stop looking at & falling into quilt envy with Julie Hermans latest "Toes in The Sand" BOM. Ummm,good bye budget, and hello JayBird design 🙂

  366. I don't really have a quilting book. I have Amy Butler's style stitches and a quilting block book but no quilting book. I have wanted to try out Modern Patchwork but that has yet to come 🙂

  369. Like many comments before this one, I also have a hard time picking just one book as my favorite. But, I'll follow the "rules" and select one I am currently using a pattern from – At Home With Country Quilts by Cheryl Wall. Thanks for the chance to win some new books!

  374. What a great givaway! My favorite book is Malka Dubrawsky's Fresh Quilting – great projects and overall a beautiful book 🙂

  376. I absolutely love "Baltimore Beauties and Beyond" by Elly Sienkiewicz, I have most of her books and love to applique. So I certainly would love some new books to expand my quilting knowledge.

  377. Wow, what a great giveaway. Quilters Complete Guide, by Porter and Fons was my first quilting book, and it's still a favorite. I would love new books, they all look great.

  379. 🙂
    I'm not sure if this is open internationally, hope so
    I don't have a favorite book, but have been looking at some of them in the web, and "The Spirit of Sacagawea" looks like a good one to have
    thanks for the chance

  388. I would love Sweet Celebrations by Moda Bakeshop Chefs. I love to buy layer cakes and jelly rolls so I'd love some new patterns.

  389. I love books. I collect quilting books like many who collect cookbooks. I love the ones that tell a story, give a background for the inspiration of a design. I'm 57, but adore anything with the new modern quilting theme. I also love interior design so "Where Women Create" would be a great pick. Thank you for divulging your "confession". You're very generous.

  390. I have Pam & Nicky Lintott's More Layer Cake, Jelly Roll & Charm Quilts. I found it at at yard sale! Am using it right now. So many titles, I would love to live in your house!!!!

  395. The quilt book that I use the most is The Quilter's Catalog by Meg Cox. Lots of wonderful articles, but her section on binding a quilt has very clear diagrams of making a mitred join of the two ends once you've sewn the binding all around. Thanks for the great giveaway – I love quilt books.

  398. My favorite quilting book (at the moment) is Civil Was Sampler by Barbara Brackman. I'm doing the blocks in a more modern fashion and loving how they're turning out!
    Thanks for the fab giveaway!

  400. I have a few good quilt books but my current favorites are the Simple Series by Kim Diehl. I have them all and love them. Have been wanting to get Sweet Celebrations though. Thanks for a chance to win.

  402. My favourite book at the moment is one I was given for Christmas – it is Shape Workshop for Quilters – it has so many blocks and some lovely patterns.

  404. Oh wow! Just one! I guess right now, I recently purchased Barbara Brackmans Civil War sampler and I really like that. Honestly I think my first life was in that time span because I really seem to be drawn to quilts in that area! Thank you so much for the wonderful giveaway.

  408. thank you so much for your giveaway, I'd say my favorite is Sweet 'n Sassy Templates' Diamond Quilts only because I have a thing with diamonds ^_^ and Sweet Celebrations hits my interest.
    I am italian and if this is not international, my cousin will keep the books for me with pleasure!

  409. I am very new to quilting. As of yet I haven't acquired any quilting books. I have madea few smaller wall hangings and baby quilts. Bu I think I woud really love the Beginers Guide To Free Motion Quilting book. Or the Moda Bakeshop book , But to be quiet honest I probably could benefit from most any of them.

    Marie Claude

  412. I love books and have many favorites but the latest (and for the time favorite) is Stunning Angleplay Quilts

  413. I love the MODA "cookbooks" and the homestyle quilts book – quilts and recipes together – what's better than that! I also love Edyta Sitar's books!

  414. What a treat it would be to win these books! I don't have "With Fabric and Thread Quilt Book" by
    John Wiley & Sons, Joanna Figueroa but at this time its my favorite and on my list to get.

  416. I have a lot of books and love many of them so this was a hard question. One of the first to come to mind is Kim Brackett's Scrap Basket books. They are great and I'm excited that she is coming out with a third one.

  417. I don't have any of these books, but Sweet Celebrations I would love to explore more
    vharrah[at]aol[dot]com

  431. My favorite quilt book of all time is Liberated String Quilts by Gwen Marston. I love all of her liberated books, but that one is number one with me! Thanks for the chance to win!

  433. My heart's desire would be SOLIDS, STRIPES, CIRCLES AND SQUARES! I'm just beginning to work with solids or fabrics that read as solid, and I'm discovering elegance through simplicity in rich colors and well-constructed linear designs.

  438. I am just getting ready to try quilting out so I don't have any books, but I've been eyeing Julie Hermans Skip the Borders for some time. Good luck to everyone!

  439. Thanks for the giveaway. All would be wonderful but I do have the books in the 2nd selection, so maybe not that one. Thank you

  446. My current favorite is Denyse Schmidt "Modern Quilts Traditional Inspiration". Just love the quilt designs and patterns in it! Thanks so much!

  448. My current favorite that I received for Christmas is Simply Fat Quarters—I'm making myself finish up some UFO's so that I can start Carousel!

  449. I like so many different books but Quilts Made Modern is a good one. Thanks for the chance to win and add to my library.
    Shawn

  452. My favorite quilts books are from Need'l Love. They have such a range of projects that really appeals to me. I've been purchasing them for many, many years! Be especially blessed…

  454. I LOVE all books and currently quilt books. I would have to pick Miss Rosie's quilt collection book as my favorite! Your bundles look scrumptious and it would be awesome to win one for a cold winter's day:) Thanks for the chance.

  455. I love the quilt artist Kim Diehl, so I really enjoy any book she has written, but I would have to pick "Simple Blessings" as my favorite.
    I have been wanting to add the new Moda Bakeshop Sweet Blessings book to my library also. MBS is one of my special places to gather wonderful patterns and ideas.
    Thanks!
    Nettie

  456. I have been wanting Julie Hermans book "Skip the Boarders" but just haven't broke down to buy it. Would love any of the books your giving away.

  461. well, "skip the borders" sounds like my kinda book.. the only one i have is "where women create"and i love that!!! gets me in the mood to tidy up and get going!!

  462. I have soooooo many favorite books that it is way to hard to pick one!
    What a lovely gift these books will make for the lucky winners.
    Thank You!
    Judy

  464. My favorite is The Modern Quilt Workshop.It's detailed and concise with full size templates, and I love the graphic qualities of modern quilt designs.

  465. I'm wanting to delve into modern quilts this year and would love anything pertaining to that like Diamond Modern Patchwork!
    Thank yioiu so very much for the chance to win one of these bundles.
    My favourite for the holiday season is my copy of Linda DeBono's Merry and Bright.

  469. Wow what a great opportunity, thanks! But I have to be honest: I love learning so my favorite book would be the one I am working with at the time. The way I work it is if I have learned something valuable from each book I have then I keep it for 6 months to make sure I have it down right and then it goes to my library if it is something that someone else would like to learn then after 6 months I will loan it to that person. For all other books that I really did not get the concept or like what I did I will pass it onto our Kids group that are learning to quilt and they get to add it to their library. So it is a win win for more than just me. Believe it or not I have been doing this for years and I have never had a book not come back to me that I have loaned out. Right now I am into FMQ and would love to win any of those books. Have a great day

  471. I love Simplify by Camille Roskelley. I have just started to learn about quilting, and the Vintage Modern fabric line was what first inspired me.

  473. I don't have any particular favorites right now but I see a couple in those groups that are on my to get list…. sweet celebrations and the no borders!

  474. It is hard to choose, but I think I would have to say Kim Brackett's Scrap Basket Sensations. So many wonderful patterns there. Thanks for the chance to win.

  475. Hola, soy de Argentina, no sé si puedo participar. tengo muchos libros favoritos pero el que más me gusta es "The Quilter's album of Patchwork Patterns" de Jinny Beyer. En fin, si no participo o no gano, me gusta mucho la página, y estoy suscripta a todas las publicaciones. Les envío un cordial saludo desde Argentina. Cariños. Eva

  476. What a great contest. Quilt books are so much fun to read and gain knowledge and inspiration! As the librarian for our quilt guild I am always on the outlook for books that will appeal to multi levels of quilting expertise. Any of these would be fabulous to have on our shelves. Probably my personal favourite is "Fat Quarter Quilts" and subsequent editions. The versatility of small pieces of fabric for fun, quick projects keeps me intrigued.

  478. There are many I love, but I have to say Skip the Borders has made a huge impact in my quilting life. I love quilts without borders and love making them! Thanks for a great giveaway.

  480. I would like Sweet Celebrations and Skip the Borders the best but I would like the machine quilting books as well. Thank you for this great giveaway!

  481. I don't have a favorite book since I am just beginning to quilt and build a library. Any of the titles you showed would be a great start. Thank you for your generosity.

  482. Material Obsession! Just looking at the cover makes me want to go sew! What a great giveaway and standing ovation to all creative designers out there who put these lovely books together! 🙂

  483. I don't own any of these — yet — but "Skip The Borders" has been tempting me since it came out. Borders are such a chore to me!

  486. I looked at my collection of books and the one that resulted in the MOST quilts for me is Ami Simms Picture Play Quilts. I was a nut for kids and novelty prints for SOOOO many years. I'd like to think I've grown up, but it was sure nice pulling that book out and paging through it just now — like visiting an old friend.

  487. most favorite I own now…Angela Waters FMQ book because of it's wonderful content, clear instructions & design. Thank you for letting me be a psrt of your giveaway.

  492. My favorite is Moda Bake Shop's Fresh Fabric Treats……..I've made several things from it. I love the variety of projects!!

  494. I have a number of them I really like but one I have used lately is "The Border Workbook" by Janet Kime. I also check out a lot of books from the library and I like Free-Motion Quilting Made Easy by Eva Larkin. I LOVE books!

  496. My current favourite is Elizabeth Hartman's Modern Patchwork but I have a few of your giveaway books in my Amazon wish list, especially Aneela Hoey's book and the moda Bakeshopmbook.

  499. My all time favorite book would be anything from Blackbird Designs. I also have most of the Minick and Simpson books and would love to win a copy of their latest! Thanks for the chance!

  504. My fav is "Quilter's Mix and Match Blocks" over 200 block patterns (50 patterns,each with 4 different color schemes) I have made many, but would sure like to branch out and learn different techniques. Everyone you have here sounds great!

  505. I don't have any quilting books, so I don't have a favorite. Being pretty new to quilting, a great book would really help me. Keeping my fingers crossed!

  506. Oh Please, Please don't SKIP over me for the winner of the quilt book "Skip the Borders" by Julie Herman! I can't wait to try her technique!

  507. I love all of the moda booksthat give me ideas on how to use jelly rolls and layer cakes!!!

  510. I would love the book Aneela Hoey's Little Stitches, or Natalia Bonner's Beginner's Guide to Free Motion Quilting.However any of the books would be awesome!!!!

  511. Wow – so many great books! I don't own any quilting books now, but I'd lve to try some. Homestyle Quilts: Simple Patterns and Savory Recipes sounds very nice. Thanks!

  512. There are so many, Sweet Celebrations is definitely ine of my favorites as is Sunday Morning Quilts, love all f the ideas for the huge pile of scraps I have!

  513. Some call it a magazine, I call it a book. I am crushin' on my newest edition of Primitive Quilts and Projects. Has features with Kim Diehl, Pam Buda and Lynn Hagameir. Love it and reread dozens and more times. Thanks

  514. I have three favorites right now, but I'll try to be good and give you only one: Fresh*Quilting-Fearless Color, Design & Inspiration by Malka Dubrawsky.

  519. My fav. books are the modern ones and Moda bakeshop is always inspiring! This would be an awesome prize for any quilter. Thank you so much for the opportunity!!!

  522. Aneela Hoey's Little Stitches! I would so love to give this book to my grand-daughter. She is 9 and has just started to learn embroidery. Aneela's designs are so sweet. It makes me so happy to see younger generations showing interest in these fine arts.

  523. It is so hard to pick a favorite but one that I refer to over and over is the Fons and Porters the Quilters Complete Guide. I use it to refresh my mind on all kinds of techniques and for beginners it is an excellent over view of all aspects of quilt making.

  528. The FMQ would be a welcome addition, as It's on my wish list, but the book I'm loving at the moment is Sunday Morning Quilts as it has really help me organise and use my scraps.

  529. Choosing just one favorite book is hard. I love all Kaffe Fassett books because I never tire looking at all the wonderful fabric combinations and colors he uses. But the book I'd most like to own right now is Nancy Crow by Nancy Crow. She's such a prolific innovative art quilter, and yet her work is so inspiring in terms of composition and improvisation for the modern quilter.

  530. I don't have to many books, more magazines but I have a new book to me. "Crazy 'til the Cows Come Home" by The Buggy Barn"

  533. I have quite a collection of quilt books. Right now, my favorite is "Schniblles Times Two". I love using charm packs and layer cakes in my quilts. I have made several already and have plans for all the rest in that book as well.

  535. My favorite and most used is my Quilter's Bible. It has tons of quilting information and being a self taught sewer, I have used it often.

  536. I guess my favorite right now is Dear Jane as it has been on my sewing table for over a year now! If I didn't move it over countless times to look at other books, I'd probably be finished with my DJ now!

  537. I am a quilt book collector, but feel like Simply Fat Quarters is my best all around go-to book. I have plans to make most of them.

  541. My favorite quilting book has to be a Kim Diehl. I have 3 of them. It's hard to pick a favorite! Thanks for the opportunity to be a winner!

  544. My favorite book is "Quilter's Complete Guide" by Marianne Fons & Liz Porter. It is my quilter's bible for anything you want to know about quilting.

  547. I don't have any quilting books yet…LOTs of magazines though! I would love to have the Sweet Celebrations though. I like how is has the different themes for the seasons.
    Nancy

  548. I'm using my "modern blocks" book a lot lately. It would be lovely to add some of those to my bookshelf – thanks for the chance 🙂

  549. My favourite has to be The Quilter's Bible – How to make a quilt and much more by Linda Clements. It was the first quilting book I bought a couple of years ago. It was my introduction to quilting and I've been hooked ever since.

  554. My favorite book is always the newest one I am reading and right now that is Civil War Sampler by Barbara Brackman. Thanks for the chance to win a bundle of great books. If I win, I am sure to have a new favorite book soon.
    bantychicks(at)verizon(dot)net.

  555. What a fantastic giveaway! I am new to quilting. I've been reading the Quilter's Academy Freshman year book and it's loaded with information. I've learned a lot and am getting ready to jump in and start. 🙂

  557. I have a zillion books, but I guess my recent favorite is Scrap-Basket Surprises by Kim Brackett. Lots of fun patterns that look complicated, but they're totally not!

  559. Such a difficult decision!!!Sunday Morning Best has to be the best choice for me because when I buy a book, I have to want to make several quilts out of the book, AND I like the fact that on the back cover, I can see all of the quilt photos.

  561. I am a 74 year old quilter who reads the books about free motion quilting but still can't do it. I need a new book.Thanks for your gifts.

  564. How to choose! I am teaching myself to embroider so this minute it is the Little Stitches that stands out but each one is one my birthday wish list! I just need the hubby to get online…..

  566. At the moment I'm loving "Skip The Borders" and am making one of her quilts… the brown one with the blue/green corners. Love it!
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  571. I am new to quilting, and have fallen in love with modern quilting. I don't have any quilting books yet, so Modern Patchwork seems like a good 1st favorite.

  573. My favorite book is "The Quilt Bible" (even though I don't own it yet). Would love to win some of these wonderful books! Thanks for the chance to win!

  576. Too many choices!

    I think I will have to go with the first quilting book I ever bought: It's Okay If You Sit On My Quilt by Mary Ellen Hopkins.

    I'm sure it's old-fashioned and terribly "unModern", but it started me off with two of the first gift quilts I ever made, and has informed my quilting mentality for the last five years.

    Plus, the name is adorable.

  578. Great giveaway. My all time favorite and one of my 1st books was Karla Alexanders Getting Started book (do not remember the title)

  579. I'm new to quilting and only because I learned that someone like me, who has modern taste, can quilt with modern fabrics, colors, and styles! It's so exciting that I can't get enough. As for my favorite book, how can you pick a favorite when you are an absolute sponge, ready to learn from so many who know so much more than you? Thank you for the opportunity to learn!

  580. You are so correct….there are sew many to choose from. One of my long time favorite quilt books is Block Party by Marsha McCloskey. It has 120 9" rotary cut blocks but also the templates if you choose. In addition to the block library it has a great section on setting ideas and easy design variations for designing your own quilt. There is a color photo of each block and alternate ways to make each block look by changing the location of the light, medium, and dark fabric. Easy to read cutting chart. I had the spine cut off and a spiral insert so I can lay my book flat open or stand up on my book holder. Thank you for the opportunity to win more new books. I love my quilt book library, so much versatile inspiration.

  585. I have loved and made a few items from Simplify by Camille Roskelley, I enjoy making her patterns aswell.

    So my Favorite book is Simply Retro by Camille becoming available in May

  586. Hmmm, such a hard choice. I would have to say at the moment The Civil War Sewing Circle by Kathleen Tracy is my favorite at the moment.

  593. I love the Material Obsessions books! So bright and cheerful. I also am a fan of City Quilts…

    Thanks for the chance to win.

  594. My all time favorite quilt book is "A Bouquet of Quilts." The designs by Japanese women are exquisite yet based on quilt patterns we all know.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  597. I have Sweet celebrations, got it from Amy Smart. My next project is the Reunion Quilt using Noteworthy (purchased from FQS)I would love to have the free motion book!

  598. To be really honest, I don't think I have any quilting books (unless there is an old one packed away in a moving box somewhere (from our move to Mexico 3+ years ago)I've just returned to quilting after a 25+ year absence, so right now I'm getting patterns on line, but I miss the feel of a book in my hands when I'm reading & hopefully absorbing information. So I would Love to win one of your giveaways so I can have some books to cuddle up with and hopefully love.
    thelady(at)hotmail.com

  600. My favorite quilting book at this point is Farmer's Wife Quilt book.I just love reading the letters and can't wait until I have time to make the squares.

  605. My favorite is a series called Quilter's Academy by Harriet and Carrie Hargrave. Thanks for the chance to win a set of great books.

  607. The first group with Cuddle Me Quick sounds great. Always need a baby quilt for someone.

  608. Sweet Celebrations is my favorite right now, I love how modern the patterns are and how everything is made from jelly rolls and charm packs, etc. I really need to work on my free motion quilting through so I'd love to try out that book! Awesome giveaway!!

  610. It is hard to chose just one book. I guess I would have to say the Reverse Applique book by Teri Tope Henderson. I have learned a lot from that one.

  611. I live in Venezuela and a good friend comes down here quite often from Rhode Island and brings me books I pay for. My latest addition to a considerable library considering where I live, is The Beginner's Guide to Free Motion Quilting which I just love and find so helpful. However, I would love the Moda Bakeshop Sweet Celebration book – just for fun and because nearly every time I love a new fabric, it's from Moda.

  617. I would say my favorite is Skip the Borders by Julie Herman. I have this book on my wish list and there have been many times I want to make a quilt and not have to worry about borders.

  618. What a fantastic giveaway. My favourite book of the moment is Frieda Anderson's book – Fabric to Dye For. I just love it, love it, love it.

  619. I have mostly magazines in my library, but one of my most looked at books is Heirloom Machine Quilting by Harriet Hargrave.

  623. I would love the beginners guide to Free Motion quilting. I have hand quilted EVERYTHING and would love to learn how to quilt on my new Bernina I got for Christmas!

  624. My favorite is Julie Herman's Skip the Borders Quilt book. I am not good at selecting the borders or doing the binding so I love a method without that step!

    Judith

  627. What a lovely giveaway, as it's my aim to dedicate time to learn quilting this year! I have been reading alot of great reviews for the "Beginners to free form quilting", so that would have to be the perfect start, plus I love the look of 'Free form' quilting… xx

  629. just beginning to quilt, i dont really have a favorite yet! i would love to win these! they look excellent!

  630. I dont have access to quilt books and I depend on blogs and tutorials of which there are such excellent ones all around. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful giveaway.

  631. WoW! What a super duper giveaway! Great books! Fingers crossed that I'm one of the lucky ones!

    Thank you for an amazing giveaway and a chance to win. Five winners! Woot! Woot! You guys Rock!

    usairdoll(at)gmail(dot)com

  633. My go book is Angela Walters' Free Motion Quilting with Angela Walters. She does a great job of presenting patterns that are easy to follow and use.

  634. Which is my favourite? That's a tough one! From this selection, I think it would have to be Sweet Celebrations: so many great designs from a wonderful selection of creative people.

  635. Thank you for the opportunity of a Giveaway! My Favorite Quilting Book is by far "Mastering Precision Piecing" by Sally Collins. While she deals specifically with miniatures, the book reminds you of the gratification you obtain by truly being precise. It truly affected me as a quilter.

  637. I just started getting the quilting bug so any book would be helpful! If I have to choose one I'd pick Sweet Celebrations by Moda. Please help me add to my nonexistent library by picking me!!!

    Paige
    Paigegathome@yahoo.com

  638. I am a new quilter and have only two books – Fresh Fabric Treats by Moda and I Love Patchwork by Rashida Coleman-Hale. I would certainly love to add any of these books to my collection. Thank you!
    anglanouette(at)gmail(dot)com

  644. My most recent favorite is Free Motion Quilting with Angela Walters. Of those you listed, I'd love to have the Moda Bake Shop Sweet Celebrations and Spirit of Sacagawea books, I loved reading stories about her when I was a kid!!

  645. I would love to win a set of books. The Aneela Hoey's Little Stitches title looks like a very fun read. I love her embroidery patterns. Thanks!

  649. I have many books, but I don't have any of the books on your site! Lots of great new stuff around. One of my favorite oldies has been Carol Doak's 300 blocks book.

  651. My current favorites are both from Angela Walters! I love the way she shows you step-by-step how she does a design and her creativity is so inspiring!

  654. Books Books Books don't you just love quilt books. I am currently in love with Elegant Quilts, Country Charm by Leonie Bateman and Deirdre Bond-Abel. Lovely wool and cotton projects. Your book giveaway is heaven. I will make room on the ever crowded book shelve, just in case.
    Bronwyn

  656. While I don't own this book I have looked through it at a friends and it is on the top of my wishlist – Little Stitches Embroidery, Aneela Hoey.

  657. Hi, sou um quilter iniciante e não conheço muitos livros, mas acho que Aneela Hoey de Pontos pequenas seria um ótimo livro.
    Ficaria muito feliz em ganha-lo e poder aprimorar meus conhecimentos.
    Obrigada
    Marlene

  659. I am starting to collect quite a few books and I actually use them! Elizabeth Hartman's books are two of my favorites.

  666. My favorite book that I own is Sunday Morning Quilts, but next on my list to buy (wiping drool) is Beginners Guide. Winning would allow me to spend that money on…you guessed it, more fabric!

  668. What a hard question. I could probably make dozens of quilts using Carol Doak's 50 Fabulous Paper Pieced Stars though.

  678. There are a few I use more often than others. One is The Quilter's Ultimate Visual Guide by Ellen Pahl. One is
    101 Fabulous Rotary-Cut Quilts by Judy D. Hopkins and Nancy J. Martin. And Quilts! Quilts!! Quilts!!! by Diana McClun and Laura Nownes has the pattern for my "first" quilt (which I've been working on since 1998…. over 1,000 hours and still going.)

  681. Good afternoon. I love Material Obsession 1. It was the first quilting book i bought and the better. Thank you very much for these oportunity.

  685. My favorite book right now is Brenda Manges Papadakis's Dear Jane. I love these little blocks. Evey block I finish I'm amazed what a quilter she was, not to have had all the tools we have today.I don't know how she did it.

  691. My favorite all-time book is Miss Rosie's Spice of Life book. But of these giveaway books, I would pick Sweet Celebrations. Thanks for this giveaway and your wonderful online store.

  692. I am just getting into quilting although I've been sewing for over 30 years. I just started reading Free-Motion Quilting and cannot wait to try some of the patterns out. I've done free-motion embroidery and love it. I am still learning, but there are a wealth of books out there to learn from!

  694. Although I like Lynda Hall's quilts, I like Kim Diehl's even better. So I would pick Homestyle Quilts by Diehl and Baker. Deborah (debbieklukas@gmail.com)

  695. My favorite and most used quilt books would be any of the books by Sally Collins. I go back to them again and again whenever my sewing needs a tune up.
    Of the books in your bundle, I have been considering buying Cuddle Me Quick since two grandchildren are expected this year. Thanks for the generous give away.

  697. My favorite book right now is
    Quilting Modern: Techniques and Projects for Improvisational Quilts by Jacquie Gering and Katie Pedersen.

  699. Sadly, I do not own many. I have a Quilt in a Day book that is Irish Chains… I do love that one. But I really want to get my hands on Tula Pink's book as well as Skip The Borders… =)

  701. I don't have a favorite as do not have most of the books in your list and have not read them. So, will answer the question with the one I most want to read: Beginner's Guide to Free-Motion Quilting Book, C&T Publishing, Natalia Bonner.

  702. My husband gave me "The Quilters Ultimate Visual Guide" for Christmas. It's packed with information and inspiration.

  703. NO FAIR! I do not have a favorite quilting because I learn so much from everyone I have. But I really like my Barbara Brachman & Jenny Beyer Encyclopedias of Quilting Blocks ( not actual title) When I get bored I make some blocks from those books. I like figuring out and drafting the blocks then making them. When I have enough I make a quilt out of the blocks…. Loving the new modern blocks… wish someone would make a encyclopedia for Modern Blocks.

  706. It's hard to pick a favorite, but right now I'm looking at "Sunday Morning Quilts: 16 Modern Scrap Projects Sort, Store, and Use Every Last Bit of Your Treasured Fabrics" by Amanda Jean Nyberg. I don't have it yet, but it's exactly my favorite kind of quilting book.
    Thanks for the give-away!

  709. I love Nancy Halversens Curiosities and Mischief Quilt Book. I have made many of the items in this book – tney are so cute and my grandchildren have loved them.

    But I would also love to buy The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt by Laurie Aaron Hird and City Quilts by Cherri House.

    But the one quilt book I personally own I absolutely LOVE is Modern Minimal: 20 Bold & Graphic Quilts by Alissa Haight Carlton. There over half of the quilts that I would love to make someday. They are all modern and awesome. I like the bold colors of all the quilts.

  717. I just love the "Curiosities & Mischief Quilt BookArt to Heart" by Nancy Halvorsen- many thanks for the great giveaway 🙂

  768. There are so many (including the ones you are giving away) that are on my list. My favorite quilting book would probably be Sweetwater's Simply Home.

  769. Better Homes and Gardens COMPLETE GUIDE TO QUILTING is the book I go to as a all around reference book. It is hard to say it is my favourite because my favourites are "pattern" books, but the BHG is the one I would not ever think of removing from my library of quilting books. I love "technique" books but my inspiration comes from all the fabulous designers. I do have my eye on The Beginners GUide to Free Motion Quilting…and would love to win one of your bundles of books!

  810. I love a book that gives you joy just to look through it… even if you don't make anything from it… it would be money well spent.

I would make every one of the patterns in the book… but until I do, I will just enjoy flipping through the pages!

  815. I like Nancy H.s books and the Jelly Roll girls quilts. I love any books with precuts. But I have not bought any books in about a year so winning anything would be GREAT! Thank You

  819. "Favorite" is such a hard word! I'll just go with "Tradition with a Twist" by Blanche Young since I'm pretty sure it was the first book I bought and I've recently returned to it to make another nine-patch. Thank you for the giveaway!

  820. "Favorite" is such a hard word! I guess I'll go with "Tradition with a Twist" by Blanche Young since I'm pretty sure it's the first book I purchased and I've just returned to it to make another nine-patch.

  822. There are so many great quilting books, it's hard to pick a favourite. Maybe The Farmer's Wife Sampler though, I love the variety of old blocks!

  823. I have been embroidering for years and years, and want to teach my grand daughter how, so I would say Little Stitches!

  825. I love the Farmer's Wife quilt book but love all quilting books. They provide so much inspiration.

    Thanks for the chance to win something awesome 🙂

  845. Wow, this is a great selection of books. So far I only have a few quilting and sewing books and currently my favourite is Two from One Jelly Roll.
    Your first set reads about baby quilts, that also sounds very promising 🙂

  846. My favourite 2 books that I own would be Quilts! Quilts!! Quilts!!! and Quilts, quilts, and more quilts!
    Of the ones in this giveaway the one called Stop. Go. Quilt. Sew! intrigued me most after seeing the fabulous traffic light quilt.

  850. It is difficult to choose one book. I would say I use the Schnibble Times 2 a lot of late, but that is just my current favorite.

  851. My favorite would have to be the one I have been wanting for along time: Beginner's Guide To Free-Motion Quilting. But any of the above bundles I would love.

  859. Sweet Celebrations is one of my favorites, but so is Modern Basics. There are just too many great quilt books to narrow it down to just one!

  863. One favorite?!? I have so many I love… I like the Schnibbles books and Beginners Guide to Freemotion Quilting. But those are just the ones that pop to mind immediately. Then there is the list of books I want….

  864. I still consider myself a wanna be quilter so most of my projects are easy or small. I love Nancy Zieman (I live only 30 miles from her shop/catalog center) and I pick Quilt with Confidence by her as a favorite.

  867. Right now my favorite quilting book is With Fabric and Thread. It is one of the few quilting books I have . Thanks for the chance to win.

  872. I could never pick one favorite, but I always go back to my collection of Kaffe Fassett books- the color and design, and even the photos themselves, always inspire me…

  879. I don't have any of these books either … I usually design my own, but it would be wonderful to just use someone else's pattern for a change!!! LOVE the Fat Quarter Store … soooooo awesome – I could spend 3 days in a row looking at all the fun stuff!!!

  881. I would love to have any of these books. I think my favorite books are any by Terry Atkinson. Her directions are "AWESOME".
    Karin J.

  882. I think the one quilt book I always remember and notice in quilt shops all the time is "Your First Quilt Book or It Should Be." It was my very first one and after reading it, I was hooked on quilting. Thanks for the opportunity to win something!!! Brenda

  888. I have to say that my current favorite "quilting" book is more of a sewing book, but I hope that counts. I love sewing stuff from "Zakka Style" by Rashida Coleman-Hale. Because of this book, I've met lots of great stitchy people and made many well-loved projects.

  893. I don't have a favorite. I have too many interests. Sometimes I just enjoy looking at them over and over again.

    Crazy awesome giveaway!

  894. My favorite book must be the first Jelly Roll Quilts book by Pam & Nicky Lintott because I've made almost every quilt in the book 🙂 thanks for the great giveaway.

  896. Sweet Moda!!! I would so love to have that Sweet Book. I need inspiration fast 🙂

  897. I am sorry I missed it… sigh… I was so busy looking at blogs, quilts and getting inspired and thinking about my stash and my next UFO!!! and I did find a way to back some of those ufo's without cutting up my yardage! Yeah! oh the books would have helped I am sure!
