A box of books from C&T Publishing arrived not long ago. There are some real keepers. Let me tell you about them and then we’ll give each copy to a lucky Quilty Pleasures reader.
Stop. Go. Quilt. Sew! has a subtitle of Make 12 Fun Projects for Boys to Enjoy.
Author Angela Yosten has put together a variety of projects for the little men in your life, with a traffic theme throughout.
Take a gander through this Google Preview.
From the Traffic Light Wallhanging to the Speed Limit Pillow, from the Do Not Enter Messenger Bag to the Cross Guard Towels, you’ll surely find something to make. See more photos of the projects in this flickr set.
Stop. Go. Quilt. Sew! is from Stash Books, an imprint of C&T. Read more about Stash Books.
If you’re thinking ahead to the quilt projects you’ll tackle in 2013, then The Art of the Quilt calendar might be just the ticket.
Thirteen months are each graced with a quilt, and the calendar includes all 13 patterns. Which means you still have a great value when 2013 comes to an end!
Maybe you need quilts that are easy but also interesting. Cozy Modern Quilts by Kim Schaefer will fit the bill. Included are 23 projects to reduce your stash considerably. It’s amazing what great quilts can come from such simple sewing!
For your chance to win one of these products, please leave a comment by midnight Tuesday, July 24 answering this question: What’s a quilting book you’ve looked at recently? We’ll choose winners and announce them here later in the week.
The following winners have been chosen and notified: #9, #1 and #69. Thanks so much for your answers, which have led me to some very good reading material.
My quilt guild has a two-year challenge to create a story quilt, so I have been looking at art quilt books. The Art Quilt Workbook is next on my list to purchase.
Ooooo….that Art of Quilting calendar looks wonderful.
I just recently was sequestered into making a new (quick deadline) quilt, so I have been pouring over many patterns in magazines and books. Bonnie Hunter’s Scraps and Shirtails II has a potentially winning pattern: Goose in a Puddle. However Quiltmaker has a potential winner too: Mocha Mist at a throw size.
I have been looking at books on Modern Quilts lately. So the book by Kim Schaefer is one I would love for sure. I love the cover. The calendar looks amazing..and complete with patterns! Thanks for the chance to win.
I’m loving modern quilts at the moment and have been looking at Modern Mix
Im an avid blog reader as a beginner quilter..!! im in need of some good books !!
I have been thinking a out purchasing, Small-Pieces-Spectacular-Quilts-Patterns.
It looks like an interesting book.
I think the most recent one was Inspired to Sew by Bari J
Thanks for the giveaway.
The calendar looks like fun
I have plans to rent time on a long arm this weekend, so I’ve been looking at quilting books — The Best of Shirley Thompson Quilting Patterns; Beautiful Quilts as You Go by Keryn Emmerson and Quilting Possibilities…Freehand Filler Patterns by Sue Patten.
I last looked at Bonnie Hunters Scraps and Shirtail’s book. No particular reason, just dreaming. First I need to build up my scrap stash! I like the thought of a quilt calendar for my sewing room, great idea.
I was just reading It’s A Wrap by Susan Breier. I’m planning to make a purse.
One of my current favorites is Sunday Morning Quilts, but I am also very interested in seeing Angela Walters Machine Quilting book. Thanks for the chance to win – these look great, too!!
Oh I love C&T Publishing! I just finished browsing through Denyse Schmidt’s Quilts book last night which was pretty fun. Thank you for the giveaway!
We Love Color is the most recent eye candy. It’s very inspiring.
I’ve been looking at Kathy Brown’s More Take 5 Quilts book. I’m looking for an easy quick quilt for a baby gift.
Thanks for the give away!
I think the “stop go quilt sew” book would be fabulous for all my boys, the little ones and my hubbie too.
Recent books I’ve looked at are Dover’s Celtic Stencil Designs.
Also, I’ve looked at Two From One Jelly Rolls and Free motion Quilting Made Easy.
I think those are all on my wish list!
Thanks!
Oh, I’m loving the Art of Quilt Calendar! If my name is drawn for the other two books, please redraw as I know others would appreciate them more. But, the calendar I’d love to have!
As for the quilting book I’ve looked at (purchased) recently, It is Fresh Fabric treats. I bought it for a book club that would do three or four projects from a book. I’m disappointed because that club seems to have fallen through. It was fun doing the challenges and whatnot and I felt like I was part of a community. But still, the book is wonderful! I just haven’t made anything from it yet.
I just bought Sunday Morning Quilts and had a good time looking at the lovelies in it. thanks for the chance to win.
I recently bought Modern Quilts. I love the simplicity involved, but I have finally got enough ‘scraps’ to start looking at a scrappy book
I recently received my copy of Bonnie Hunter’s String Fling, and I’ve also recently purchased Midnight Quilts… love all those colors on black! YUM!!! I don’t have any boys, but I sure would love to win either the Kim Schaeffer book (she’s one of my all-time favorite designers!) or the Art of the Quilt calendar. Thanks for the offer!
I’ve looked at Camille Roskelley’s book called Simplify.
I’ve been looking at Denyse Schimdt’s new book. I really love her interpretations of traditional patterns.
Just received String Fling by Bonnie Hunter – so many ideas for the strings I’ve been collecting – some awesome ideas in there!
My newest book received is The Farmers Wife Pony Club. A beautiful book with so many stories to read. Love this book.
Oh boy… well, “Crazy Modern Quilts” seems about my speed right now. I’m juuuuust getting into sewing and pretty much reading any book that starts with “How To…” in the title!
One can NEVER have enough quilt books and magazines! I love them!
Any of these books like like a treasure and would be an asset to any library!
I love doing kids quilt but alwas have trouble finding great things for pre teen to teens The Stop Book looks great for them – I ‘m also very interesting in the new modern quilts They look like something that cane be quilted on a sewing machine so doing them I might get a finished project
The Art of the Quilt Calendar is my favorite of the books. I am always looking for new ideas.
Been looking at stash busting books lately. Need to make room for new fabric!! The Kim Schaefer, Cozy Modern Quilts would be a great one. Thanks for offering this give away!!
Love the calendar. Have thought about doing a modern quilt but I really don’t have any “modern” patterns. =) I am stuck in scrappy and old favorites like the Dresden plate.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I’ve been looking at Sunday Morning Quilts by Amanda Jean Nyberg and Cheryl Arkison. I love working with scraps. Thanks for the chance towin.
Modern Crazy Quilts looks like fun…..would like to own that one.
The Art of Quilting calendar is definitely on my “gotta have” list. I always have a quilty calendar in my sewing room (which, btw, also doubles as the laundry…sigh…there’d be SO much more room if I could eliminate having to wash and dry clothes!) Anyway, love having a quilty calendar for inspiration but one with the patterns! BONUS!!! What fun that will be!
As a quilter I’m always looking for new patterns. All those books look terrific. Where do I begin?
I’ve been looking at a book on string quilts. It’s so much easier for me to use scraps than to cut into my new fabric!
Recently i’ve looked at a “multi-shape” quilting book by Fon.W.K *only available in Taipei,Taiwan
I appreciate it so much ! i can gain many flesh inspiration on my assignments :3
Few weeks ago , i was looking on some unique way like quilting technique to create my TEXTURE and POP UP CARD assignments
I got my inspiration from the book and my lecturer quite shocked about it :3
A Laurel Burch Christmas. I love Laurel Burch and quilting Christmas items. These go hand-in-hand.
I like the two books and the calendar. I am looking toward retirement and am collecting ideas for things to keep me busy once retirement becomes a reality not just a dream.
So when I’m not sewing, I’m thinking about what I will do next; when I’m not thinking about that, I’m planning in bed at night…..there is no hope for me – totally addicted…..any solution? Read more! When I’m not doing any of the above, I’m reading quilting mags on my Kindle or in person! Lordy Lordy!
I’ve been looking at scrappy quilt books. I’m always fascinated with the wide variety of fabrics that can be used together. I”m also interested in the Lone Star variations-some using fabrics from the stash.
It’s an oldie but a goodie, Quilts!, Quilts!!, Quilts!!! by Diana McClun & Laura Nownes. It has great classic quilts patterns and is wonderful book for quilter’s of all skill levels. These books ..& calendar ..look interesting! Thanks for the chance! Best Stitches!
When you’re a quilter you can never have to many books! They help stir the creativity and get the juices flowing =D
Winter is coming and so are new projects. I am always open to new ideas and projects. Those books look like just the thing to cosy up with in front of the fire.
Books and calendars about quilts…nothing is more perfect!
love books, such inspiration
What a great giveaway – I haven’t really looked at any book lately; any one of these would be great!
Modern quilts are certainly all the rage these days. I would love to add to my stash of patterns for them. I’ve seen these books out there, they look great!!!
Have made a few quilts, newbie here, but I think I’m ready to jump in and try some more and new things all quilty! Thanks for the chance to try for this book !!!
I recently purchased a few books and the one I think I’ll use first is 10 minute blocks (or something like that). Effectively the dimensional bow-tie block in such interesting colorways. Also, I love the Midnight Quilts book and have been wanting to make a black background quilt for years now. That book has several that I like.
Pinwheel Party by Ellen Pahl. Great book for anyone that loves Pinwheels.
My grandsons would probably enjoy quilts for boys! (I rhymed!)
I recently bought Fast, Fun & Easy Fabric Dyeing as I want to overdye some fabric for a quilt back. The Art of the Quilt Calender looks like fun. Thanks for the giveaway.
A good book to a quilter is inspiration!
Quiltmaker is the greatest. I have subscribed since it first started. Always giving new ideas. Books they recommend are always the highest quality.
I’ve been looking at “Quilt a Travel Souvenir” by Mimberly Einmo for some inspriation.
Sunday Morning Quilts – she came and spoke at our guild….yea.
Of course, love Edyta’s newest book…I’m her groupie and have all her books.
I have been looking at Sharon Pederson’s Rose of Sharon Block Book. My applique circle is interested in challenging ourselves like the Rose of Sharon Challenge Ms Pederson did for her book. Each page has something new and different. It is hard to believe the participants had a designated set of shapes and a limited fabric palette.
What a way to spark creativity–an influx of wonderful, colorful quilting books.
I love quilting books but I have been looking at Modern Patchwork.
Thank you.
Sandyb720 at gmail dot com.
ABC 3-D Tumbling Blocks… and More! What great technique for making complicated looking quilts so easily.!
I would love to have these books. I am still a beginner at quilting and need all the help I can get.
As I’m trying to finish up some UFO’s and use up some scraps, I’ve been looking at books with quilting designs and books with ideas for scrap quilts.
I just bought my first sewing machine and grabbed a few quilting books from the library. Yesterday I read, “Quilting: The Complete Guide,” by Darlene Zimmerman.
Actually I’ve looked at Cozy Modern Quilts and I’d love to have it in my library!
Any of those books would be wonderful to own. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity!
I recently looked at Borders and Bindings 2 by Bonnie Browing.
The next book I am looking to read is on machine quilting. I am looking for the best one to show a complete novice how to do it! I have been piecing tops for several years but have been paying others to quilt them. I want to tackle one from start to finish one time!
I’m always looking at new quilt books daily. Some I just have to have while others are a great inspiration. Right now I am loving Stop Go Quilt Sew
Modern Quilts is the one I’ve looked at recently with the most longing!
I am always looking for new ideas for quilts and quilting. I just love books as they are great inspirations for me. The latest book I received is “Quilts of a Different Color”, how inspiring is that book. This is a wonderful gift you are offering.
Jennifer
These look like some great books. Since my stash has grown out of control, I look at scrap quilt books. Thanks for the giveaway.
These books look like something I need to start mt quilt book collection. I have just started quilting, thanks to my daughter. Please.
My favorite activity is making quilts. My second favorite is reading about making quilts!
I love quilting books! I have looked at several books latetly, currently looking at Sunday Mornings Quilts.
Recently I wsa looking through all of my quilting books from years ago. I can’t remember any specific name, but I think it was Americana Quilts.
I’ve been enjoying Scraps and Shirttails 2 by Bonnie Hunter and am eager to have enough blue and brown shirts to begin the Blue Mountain one.
I love to make quilts for kids and participate in two groups that donate quilts to children… but I really need some cute ideas for Boys… and the ‘Stop, Go, Quilt Sew!’ book looks like it might give me the inspiration I need!
I am finishing my first quilt wall hanging. This is quickly becoming my passion! I have been reading everything I can find. I am already planning about 2 to 3 projects into the future!! I like the Modern Quilts book. It also has some smaller projects, like a table runner, that wouldn’t be so overwhelming for this beginner!
OOHH Cozy Modern Quilts…thats for me.
I treasure my quilting book collection. I refer to them constantly when I’m trying to expand on an idea, or just get inspiration for something new. My 3 grandsons would love those traffic signs. The books are all just great. Thanks for a chance to win.
I’ve been looking for a specific tumbling block pattern. I spent the weekend looking through a number of books looking for “3D Quilt Blocks” but the last title remember was “1001 Patchwork Designs”.
I LOVE ADDING QUILT BOOKS TO MY LIBRARY.
I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW QUILTING PROJECTS TO PUT ON MY TO DO LIST.
I have been going over EQ trying to learn, hopeless. I am new to longarming too so I have been picking up many books on learning to use the longarm. Feathers mostly. There are so many beautiful quilted quilts I am usually in awe. But Fons and Porters mag. usally have a quilt design after the quilt that is in the mag if finished. It gives you a look on how the quilter looked at there own quilt.
I’ve been looking at the wonderful patterns in Jane Sassaman’s new book. So colorful. I’m sure I’ll be adding another quilting book to my stash!
The last two quilt books I read are Modern Mix by Jessica Levitt and Modern Quilting Designs by Bethany Pease. I purchased them at the same time so looked through them at the same time. Thank you for the chance to win one of these great quilt books. Take care and God bless, Cory
Bad girl here! I’ve avoided them all so as not to get tempted when I have a list a mile long to get done.
Other than quilting magazines the last book I looked at was from Thimbleberrys. Love to look at new projects. Thanks for the chance to win.
Cozy modern quilts has a place reserved for it on my bookshelf. I’ve been perusing the modern quilt books and mags at my LQS for a month now and haven’t decided which I like best. If I win I won’t have to choose.
I don’t have a lot of spare time so I like to make quilts that are done quickly!
The latest quilting book I have been looking at is Simply Charming Modern by Moose on the Porch Quilts.
I’m new to Quilting and I’m reading book on making an easy quilt.
I love the Art of the Quilt Calendar – how much fun to make one a month. I have been looking at The Practical guide to Patchwork by Elizabeth Hartman. But most of the patterns I make are from Quiltmaker magazine!
I have been looking at wool applique quilt books and baby quilt books. I am excited to have one Great Grandchild and two on the way!! I am constantly looking for new ideas in quilting and love love love quilting books!!!
A few days ago I looked at Modern Quilting Designs by Bethany Pease at a guild meeting. It looks like it would be very helpful to me.
I’ve been working on a variation of a quilt that I found in Another bite of Schnibbles by Carrie Nelson.
Geared for Guys by Emily Herrick of Crazy Old Ladies is the last quilting book that I’ve perused with copy in hand. There are some mentioned on blogs that sound good too, but haven’t seen them “in person”.
I like the Cozy Modern Quilts also. The cover caught my eye and I enjoy making those kinds of quilts. I have an old quilting book that I keep on hand at home and every now and then I go back to this book and look again and again for ideas or maybe just different color placement. This book is Quilting for People Who Don’t Have Time to Quilt. Thank you for your kindness and giving us all a chance to win.

Looked at a golden oldie that I had in my stash for years already: 5500 quilt blocks. Thanks for the giveaway.
The last one I bought and read was “Cut the Scraps” by Joan Ford. Kind of works on the system I had been using. Now if only those scraps would quit multiplying while I am asleep!
Love books that help me to use up my many fabric leftovers.
I recently reviewed Jelly Roll Dreams by Pam and Nicky Lintott. I loved it!
Being overseas right now with my soldier-husband and family has made getting books and fabric hard without ordering online. But my most recent was the T*Shirt Quilts Made Easy book by Martha DeLeonardis as I am planning a a retirement quilt from my hubby’s old unit t-shirts and some of his uniform t-shirts from his various deployments. I think that would make a great gift for whenever he retires(he’s been in 24 years next month!). Any of the above books seem like great reads to me!
Some new babies among my circle of friends and family due to arrive in a few months so I’ve been looking for some neat patterns in my books, most recently, Quilting for Baby by Jeanne Stauffer and Sandra L. Hatch.
I have a very large stash and Cozy Modern Quilts looks like a great way to use some of it up.
I’ve been working on quilts from two books. First, Summer at the Lake Quilts, which provided me with patterns “Summer At Sawtooth Lake Quilt” (for a throw at our cabin) and “Star of the Picnic Table Topper” (for the 4th of July), and Midnight Quilts by Lerlene Nevaril, which provided “Bear’s Paw Beauty” (for a more contemporary use of vibrant colors). Great books! Keep them coming!!
Just purchased Friendship Strips and Scraps by Edyta Sitar and can’t decide which quilt to start on first – they are all great.
The Dancing Dragonfly quilts. I love dragonflies. I even made a few of the blocks already!! Not just read but trialed also!!
Appli-curves. Trditional Quilts with Easy no-sew curves.
I have recently looked at the The Art of the Quilt, 2013 Calendar, and would love to make all of the quilts, one for each month of the year. Please pick me!
Elm Creek Quilts books and I ended up buying 3 of them.
I’m a Kimberly Einmo junkie and love her Magic Jelly Roll books! And I recently finished a quilt out of Country Threads goes to Charm School. Seems like it’s time to get Quilty!
I just purchased Sharon Pedersen’s “Reversible Quilts” book. A friend made one at quilt camp and I just have to try the technique.
Angela Walters’s book “Free Motion Quilting” is the one I’ve been poring over this week. So much to learn from such a nice person and talented quilter.
STOP, GO,QUILT, SEW With ideas for Boys,Sounds like something I could really use. I’d love to have something that that my grand son would be intersted in helping with ,he likes to do crafts and puts his nose in when his sister is quilting with me, wanting something to do.
A couple of quilting books that I’ve looked at recently are: New Stack the Deck by Karla Alexander and Cozy Modern Quilts. I also just bought Quick Strip Paper Piecing.
Thanks for a chance to win.
I recently got a copy of Quilt Retro and have been looking through that. Cool ideas in that book! I love looking through quilting books and magazines and getting inspired by the beautiful projects.
I ahve looked (and finally bought) FreeMotion Quilting with Angela Walters. I love it!What a talented quilter! These new books look equally fascinating – thanks for a chance!
One book that is on my wish list is One Block Wonders. I really love it!!
Thank you for the chance to win one of these awesome books– quilting books are always so nice — wonderful to look at and great sources of inspiration!
My dear sister picked up Better Homes and Gardens 501 Quilt Blocks for me from a garage sale recently. I’m really enjoying it. Thanks so much for a chance.
I never pass up the chance to look at a quilting book. The latest was Jelly Roll Quilts & More by Kimberly Einmo.
I just love quilting books-the one I am reading now is “Divide and Conquer” hoping to be successful at quilting on my DSM-I have too many to pay someone to do on the LA. I would like towin the Modern Art Quilts one. Thank you
The books look great! I especially like the Modern Art Quilts. Thanks for the opportunity.
The most recent book I have been looking at is The Civil War Anniversary Quilts by Rosemary Youngs – those little six inch blocks really look like fun! But, I love ALL quilting books and would love to add a new one to my library!
Going back to Carol Doak’s 50 Fabulous Paper-Pieced Stars, I need to finish my batik and black project….
I’ve been looking at Patchwork Among Friends by Judy Martin.
I love to look at quilt books and magazines. I don’t always make the quilt the way it is in the picture but I sure get a lot of ideas to make the quilts “mine.”
I recently bought the download version of 100 quiltmaker blocks version 1. I am making one of the patterns for the quilt maker retreat in williamsburg va next week
I’ve been trying my hand at needle-turn applique, so my current favorite book is The New Applique Sampler by Goldsmith & Jenkins, C&T Publishing.
I LOVE quilting books, so thanks for the chance to win a new one!
Love your magazine and your generosity. Thanks for the opportunity to win one of the books! The ones listed look interesting and modern. Keep up the good work!
Sunday Morning Quilts by Amanda Jean Nyberg and Beginner’s Guide to Free-Motion Quilting by Natalia Bonner were recently added to my wish list. Konda Luckau’s new book looks like it will be a good one too.
I love quilt books almost as much as I love fabric! These all look like wonderful books to add to my collection. My latest quilt book purchase was Modern Quilting Designs by Bethany Pease.
A Twister Quilt book!
Aweswome books!
Awesome books!
HI,
It seems hard to find patterns for men and boys. These 2 books look interesting, in this regards. I have recently looked at Sally Collins books on Precision Piecing. Always ways to improve our piecing.
Ruth Quinn
I love the calendar. gives me inspiration all year long. Also the Modern Quilts book would be a good one.
All the books have some great ideas. I like the Stop Go Quilt Sew. I always look at signs especially the ones with the yellow and black striped v shaped ones for dead end and thought they would make a great quilt!
I’ve been giving quilt-as-you-go books by Sharon Pederson a 2nd look. Finally figured out how to make needle position move over on my machine in straight stitch! It’s like a brand new machine
Edge foot (“ditch”) & 1/4 seam foot are actually useful now!!
I haven’t looked at any books recently, having just returned from a 5-week camping trip to the Pacific Northwest. However, several months ago I bought Don Linn’s Sophisticated Stitches book (from C&T) to help with my quest to improve my free motion machine quilting skills.
thanks!
A quilter cannot have too many books or fabric. I would love to have them in my quilting library.
Thanks so much for featuring my book in your giveaway! Excited that it is now released and am thrilled to see it here on your blog.
