Could someone Give Me The Name Of The Best Beginners Book

[WendyC]

Hi I am new at quilting and appliqué and would like to purchase a good book to help get me going.
Could I have some suggestions please?

The only thing I could recommend are Jenny's tutorials - that's a good start! I learned to sew by hand when I was a kid and how to sew in Jr.High
so I guess I'm not much help to you!

I agree with Kathy-I was going to suggest this forum (ask anything -I do) and Jenny's tutorials. In my opinion you would need a shelf of books to get you the information you can get in this one place I purchased quite a few beginners books but got much more info here and on Jenny's tutes.
Good luck

Ditto X2!!!!!
And then there's the plus of the "visual and audio".... plus the "repeat factor"..... !!!

For a good all-purpose quilt book to start you out, look for "Quilts, Quilts, Quilts" by Diana McClun and Laura Nownes. It's a few years old so you should be able to get it for a good price on Amazon.

Hi Wendy, Here is the name of a book I saw at our library. It had a lot of good info and pictures. Look it up on Amazon for reviews. It looked like a good one. You might check at the library if you have one close by...that way you could look through the books 1st before you decide to buy. I would check around on prices when you decide which book you want and try to get it on sale. Good Luck!
