Textiles

[close] Welcome to our ongoing discussion about books related to quilt history and textiles. State documentation books or books on specific styles or techniques may get us started. What's on your shelf? Share what you are reading or suggest a book for discussion. Others may choose to join you.If not, post your questions and impressions along the way. Titles will remain 'live' so when someone else reads that book they can revive the topic.

[close] We are book-loving sewists, sharing knowledge and inspiration through sewing books. To begin, we will choose a sewing theme. Each group member chooses a book related to the topic. This will hopefully keep us all from going mad purchasing new books! We will each post a review of the book and, hopefully, give a new technique or project a try. There is no time limit for contributing comments/projects. Grab a book and let's get sewing!
