Do you have a lot of quilting books?

I'm a sucker for quilting books. I love them, even though many of them have the exact same patterns, only different colors. I've been pretty good lately, however I have a ton of them.

I just started quilting and I have tons of books. I'm a total book person. I just started my quilt class on Monday, so I'm looking forward to using all of my books (and fabric) soon!

I have about 15 or so...plus some magazines too.

Michelle, what type of magazines do you have? Do you get them monthly?

I love McCalls however I really like the Australian quilting magazines too. Not sure if you can get those in the States. They have a couple different ones. Our new quilting store along with most quilting stores in Canada sell them.

I used to have a subscription to Quiltmaker. I also have a lot of my mother's old magazines: Quilters Newsletter, Quilt, McCall's, etc. I'd like to get Fons & Porter's new magazine, but I haven't been quilting for a while, so I may ask for that one for my birthday.

I've never read a Fons and porter one, however the new quilting store had one when I was there the other day.

I'm sendyou a pm.

I am going to see if maybe F & P offer a sample issue. I'll report back if I find anything.

Replied.

Michelle, got it. No bother at all.

I have about 27 quilting books. Last week I was at the quilt shop and just for that day they had all their books on sale for 50 percent off but I didn't buy any. Didn't see any I wanted but Judy Martin is coming out with one in February called Scraps that I may have to get.
