Susan Ache comes out mid December, and is great for gift giving!

Review:

This is an amazing book, perfect for quilters of ANY level, even beginners! Susan's method is SOOOO simpe, yu'll wonder why you haven't made quilts that way since you started quilting. If you're new to quilting, the method being SO easy, will have you finishing your first quilt in no time and ready to tackle another! The patterns range from simple blogs, to the much agrieved Dresden Plate, but Susan makes them all seem very easy, thanks to her method and the colorful diagrams and pictures in the book! 

If you are looking to start a new hobby next year, need to get rid of the HUGE fabric stash that amassed this year, or are looking for a great Christmas gift for someone who wants to learn how to quilt, this is the book. For newbies, add a fabric store gift card, or some fun jelly rolls (after all BUYING fabric IS half the fun), and you have a gift that will keep on giving! I can't recommend it enough!
