I've had a good response to my free book offering. These eight are left for the claiming. Drop me an email and make arrangements to send me just $3.50 each to cover the cost of mailing it to you, and any book of your choice will be on its way to your home. I thought I'd describe the remaining books to help you make your selection.
This book is by Diana McClun an Laura Nownes. What more do I need to say? It's a lovely big book with gorgeous photos and detailed patterns.
Another beauty by Diana and Laura. These books have everything: inspiration, patterns, instructions. They are both wonderful additions to your crafting library.
This book has a good selection of patchwork patterns and quilting designs, as well as guidelines for estimating fabric requirements and instructions for drafting patterns. It's good for the beginner.
This is a lovely hardbound book full of traditional patterns, both pieced and appliqued. If your tastes run to traditional quilts, this is the book for you.
Are you new at quilting? Are you trying to build a fabric stash? Or are you an old hand who is overwhelmed by the bounty in your local fabric store? This book covers color theory, fabric combination and fabric selection. It's a workbook to help you manage your fabric collection.
If you have ever wondered how to cut large patterned fabrics to create those kaleidoscope effects we all ooh and aah over at quilt shows, here is all you need to know to get started.
Jinny Beyer is one of our "founding mothers" in modern quilting. This takes her work in a whole new direction, combining piecing and applique in the same block to create soft-edged designs. It's brilliant.
I'm sure that Georgia Bonesteel's quilting program on PBS was the first exposure to the craft for many people. Her book is a great reference for the beginner.

Susan,
I would like to get the book to you but I can't do paypal - I'm not a business, just a person cleaning out her bookcases. If you want to send me a check or money order, please try to email me with your address and I will tell you where to send your payment. I won't post my address and full name on the blog. Sorry.
actually anyone can accept paypal, and honestly it makes life easier!!! i will skip on the book then, but you should go check out paypal
thanks
Hello, Your site came up after making a google check for Laura Nownes & Diana McClun. Regarding your post on the books for postage, are they still available? I was interested in the books Quilts, Quilts, More Quilts & perhaps Quilts Galore. I don't have a blog. If they are available do I send you my email, post it here? I'll continue to read forward on your blog in the mean time. Thank you,
Brenda (Texas)
Brenda - sorry, those books are long gone. The remainders went to the library donation.

Thank you so much for responding. I stayed up
into the wee hours of the night reading your blog. I enjoy your stories, humor and quilt photos.
Thanks for sharing. Brenda
