Along with re-vamping my website, I am planning on adding more variety to my offerings of books, notions and tools!
I’ve looked long and hard for titles that I thought would go along well with not only MY personal interests, but with my readership in general.
I know you are a group of fabulous Quilty-folk who LOVE color.
You LOVE the satisfaction of making something wonderful from what you already have on hand.
You love quick piecing, fast finishes, and something that holds your interest over time so you don’t get bored with the construction process.
I know you like you know me! We are all in this scrappy mess together!
So let me introduce you to the four new titles in the Quiltville Store.
You will find these items by CLICKING this button on the page!
I’ve added the NEW category so it is easy to check what we’ve added, but you can also find these books under the books category as well.
The Quilter’s Practical Guide to Color
by Becky Goldsmith
I am very happy that I can honestly and truly call Becky a “real-life” friend, and there have been instances when I have called her on the phone or visa versa asking questions about this that or the other. This woman KNOWS what she is talking about!
Did you know that the biggest struggle for quilters of all types is color selection? 
Let Becky show you how color works!
Be the boss and take CHARGE of your color!
Quilters of all skill levels will appreciate Becky's practical, easy-to-understand advice on neutrals, value, and contrast. Put your new-found knowledge to the test with 10 pieced and appliqued projects designed to focus on specific aspects of color. With visual examples used to explain all color topics, this go-to guide will give you an edge when it comes to quilt design. 111 pages. For those who love small blocks, cute pieces and all things reminiscently vintage:
Farm Girl Vintage by Lori Holt!

saw becky goldsmith on the quilt show with alex anderson....the book looks very interesting...great show too...go to piece o cake website, not sure if the episode is still free or not...
I've been a Lori Holt fan for a while. My cousin is one of her SEW Buddies. They live in the same town in Utah. Overload of Talent in that lady!!! Have you seen her MASH-Up blocks she is doing with her MiniRetreats? Like I said, I'm a FAN. I love 30's prints and hers fit right in with them. I watched Alex on PBS way back when I lived on the family Farm. She is a great Teacher too. You are the one I credit with going totally SCRAPPY though! Thanks for getting me out of the matchy-matchy box. Thanks for bringing more to your Website.
Great additions to your shop!
I took classes from Alex Anderson back when she was just starting in TV - like early 90's! She is a really great teacher and a nice person (like Bonnie!)
A dear friend Kelley Davis that passed away last week had a funny story to tell about Alex Anderson. In the early 90's Kelley was new to quilting. She loved going to Houston and taking classes. One of those she signed up for was Alex Anderson. When she got to the class she was totally surprised to discover that Alex was not a guy. Kelley was my quilting, and traveling friend for almost 3 decades and I will really miss her.
Becky just appeared on the Quilt Show with Alex and Ricky Tims! Lots of good information and examples from the book. I got when first came out and it's a terrific addition to any quilt library! How nice of you Bonnie to support others in the industry we all love.
Hello Bonnie: I would love to be the winner of any one of these books. Thank you for the opportunity to win. Joyce Frazier
