      If you are the 'organized' quilting-type, Organizing Solutions for Every Quilter, by Carolyn Woods, will give you tons of new ideas for keeping your quilting area clean and neat.And, if you are the 'un-organized' quilting type, Organizing Solutions for Every Quilter is really for you!This book covers every area of your quilting area and more. Woods covers fabric storage, furniture in the quilting area, tools, UFOs (unfinished objects), extra blocks, strips, scraps, and strings, thread, finished quilts and lots more! She tells how to organize your quilting books and patterns, and even your calendar!I have never read quilting books that talk about what to take on a plane when you are traveling, how to quilt in small spaces, or how to store finished quilts, but these are all in Woods' book. She helps every quilter set goals for organization and how to finish your projects. Even though, I am generally more of an 'organized' quilter, there were a lot of tips that I can use. I am also more aware of really cleaning up the space that I have worked in that day.So, if you lean more towards being 'organized' or 'un-organized', either way, this book is sure to be helpful to you, as a quilter, and for setting your quilting area to top-shape!

    The Joy of Stitching

    NICE NEIGHBORHOOD #2

    (before stitching)

    NICE NEIGHBORHOOD #2

    14 × 14 (after stitching)

    by Laura Wasilowski

    One little embroidery stitch on a quilt brings it to life! Simple hand stitches enhance fabric surfaces by adding color, texture, pattern, definition, and excitement. Small fused art quilts especially benefit from hand stitchery. Stitches attract the eye and entice the viewer to look more closely. And you will soon find that the act of stitching also seduces the stitcher.

    Fused fabrics make the construction of our project quilts a snap, leaving time for the fine art of stitching. Learn about the fusing process and an easy pattern transfer process I’ve developed in Fuse before Stitching (pages 5–9).

    Couching Thread / Hidden Needle (pages 10–16) tells you about stitching tools, weights of thread, and how to select and place stitches on the quilts. There are also diagrams of the various embroidery stitches used in each project’s stitch plan.

    You’ll find the shapes for creating your quilts in Patterns for Stitch-the-House-Down Quilts (pages 32–62). Feel free to mix and match patterns to create your own quilt designs. And finish your quilt with an attractive wrapped binding, following the directions in The Wrapped Binding (pages 29–31). Batting and a stiff interfacing, such as C&T’s Timtex or fast2fuse, offer a firm support and can give the quilt a curvy edge. No need for a hanging sleeve or machine
