The Quilter’s Bible
By Linda Clements
Every quilter’s library should include a few solid reference books, and this book is a comprehensive option to put on your shelf. It covers every step of the process, beginning with the basics—tools, materials and technology—before moving onto techniques. Separate sections cover patchwork, applique, quilting and finishing, walking beginner quilters through every step of the process. A detailed table of contents also makes this book a quick go-to for questions that more experienced quilters might encounter, as it’s easy to find exactly what you’re looking for. Linda breaks down block construction with clear diagrams and covers multiple types of applique. Both hand and machine quilting are included, as are a variety of finishing options, from different types of binding to prairie points. As you work your way through the book, you can practice the skills you learn on 13 quilted projects.
