This week I'm looking at Modern Roots: Today's Quilts from Yesterday's Inspiration: 12 Projects Inspired by Patchwork from 1840 to 1970 by Bill Volckening. This intriguing book shows you how to create modern projects based on antique quilts. I was amazed at how modern these quilts, some of them over 100 years old, looked.

Telecast Thursday - Book Review: The Ultimate Guide to Machine Quilting by Angela Walters and Christa Watson

Welcome to another Telecast Thursday! Today I'm excited to share a quilting book with you that I'm sure you'll want to buy for yourself. It's about quilting - you know the last thing you do with a quilt - well, before binding, that is, but definitely before you are able to snuggle in it.

In The Ultimate Guide to Machine Quilting by Angela Walters and Christa Watson, you'll get helpful information for quilting your project on a domestic sewing machine and on a long arm machine. Yes, pros and cons for quilting on both types of machines are covered in this one book, making it a reference book you'll want to add to your quilting library.

My scrap fabric bins are overflowing and seem to be getting larger all the time.  I'm always interested in books that have scrap projects in them in the hopes that I will someday use up some or all of my scraps. Stash Lab addresses this issue and is divided into 3 sections with a different premise for how to use your fabrics in each of these sections.

I'm not a hand quilter, but I love to do hand embroidery (I can't figure that out, but that's just the way I am), so I was intrigued by the title of this book.

Kathleen shows you how to hand piece your block and then continue on to do some hand stitching which mimics hand quilting before finishing with that block. It sounds a bit complicated, but it's quite easy and gives you the ability to have a portable piecing project so you can piece on the go.
