Today’s the final day of International Quilt Market so let’s have one more giveaway of new quilting titles. Today’s features are from Kansas City Star Books.
Welcome Home by Cheryl Wall has those warm, familiar country colors we’ve grown to love. They’re used in several quilts and other projects all inspired by the idea of “home.” Try using wool as recommended for the “Love at Home” pillow, or embroider details on the “Home Sweet Home” framed picture. You’ll enjoy all of the country warmth within this book.
More warm and homey quilts are found in Sarah Maxwell and Dolores Smith’s Faithful & Devoted: To My Adelaide, A Quilted Love Story. This book is based on a series of letters exchanged during the Civil War between Charles Tenney and Adelaide Case, and the letters are fascinating glimpses into wartime, hardship, courtship and propriety. History buffs will be delighted.
Then we shift gears completely for Quilt Retro by Jenifer Dick. Modern quilt designs using lots of solid fabrics are fun and quirky here. In addition to several quilts, there are potholders, placemats and table runners. All of the samples are beautifully quilted, which is like bonus inspiration!
Leave a comment by midnight Tuesday, Nov. 1 and we’ll randomly pick a winner for each of these books. Winners will be announced here next week. Good luck!
I’ve been wanting a copy of Welcome Home, but all three of these look quite interesting. Thanks for the chance to win!

Such interesting looking books, especially the one about the quilt designed around love letters.
Nice giveaway! Thanks for the chance.
In the Welcome Home book, I like how Cheryl combines House blocks with lots of little traditional blocks to fill in small spaces between the houses. It makes a great updated version of a house sampler quilt!

I love the history and relationships associated with quilting. Sarah Maxwell and Dolores Smith’s Faithful & Devoted: To My Adelaide, A Quilted Love Story is right up my alley.
I would love to have one of these books! Lots of colorful, great projects! Thanks!
What wonderful books! My list for Santa just got a bit longer

Very interesting looking books. Thanks for the chance.
Kansas Star Books are wonderful. I always learn something from every one I’ve seen.
I love to hear or read about new ideas when it comes to Quilting.
Thank you for the chance of winning your Quilting books.
I would love to win those books!!
Both books look interesting and especially Fathful & Devoted with all that piecing–the more pieces in a block=the more variety of fabrics to use !
I was so excited to see that I still had time to enter! I do love anything to do with houses and retro. Sometimes I wish I could narrow down my interests, but I can actually say I really enjoy all types of patterns.
Oops, scratch that last comment I was reading 1 for a 7!
I love the books. I hope it is not too late to enter.
What wonderful treasures to add to a quilt library. I too am hoping it’s not too late to enter. Thanks so much.
I have some grandmother’s garden flowers from the 60′s already done. I would love to get some inspiration from the retro book. I want to do something “groovey” to finish these blocks.
