				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Until November 1st, all quilting books by The Quilt Branch are available for 10% off! We all love our patterns, but books offer so much more.   Except in the case of larger, more complicated patterns (like samplers or intricate piecing), most quilt books contain several patterns.  You will also benefit from the designer&#8217;s experience as the author/designer ofter shares helpful tips and shortcuts for the piecing process, suggestions for fabric selection, and sometimes even quilting ideas instead of the dreaded &#8216;quilt as desired&#8217;.</p>
<p>The Six Halves Make a Whole book series contains patterns that can be made from bundles of six half yard cuts of fabric.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Art for art&#8217;s sake is not found in a typical Amish home.  Amish quilts are one of the few forms of art acceptable in the Amish community and that is only because they serve a pratical purpose.  No wonder the women enjoyed expressing themselves as they made quilts for their families.  Over time, the quilts evolved from whole cloth with plenty of quilting to added cornersquares and finally color throughout.  Still simple, but beautiful in their simplicity. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-16953-amish-wall-quilts-by-rachels-of-greenfield.aspx" target="_blank"><img class=" wp-image-3111 alignleft" title="Amish Wall Quilts book" src="http://www.quiltersshowcase.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Amish-Wall-Quilts-book.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="216" /></a></p>
<p>Historian, quilter, and noted expert, Rachel Thomas Pellman provides an information packed look at the development and tradition of Amish quilting in her book,  <a title="Amish Wall Quilts book" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-16953-amish-wall-quilts-by-rachels-of-greenfield.aspx" target="_blank">Amish Wall Quilts</a>.  The distinctive quiltmaking characteristics of three different Amish communities are discussed.  You&#8217;ll learn details about how Amish women use quilting as a creative outlet.  Included are fifteen projects for wall quilts in the Amish style.</p>

<p><a title="Almost Amish quilt pattern" href="http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/p-1235-almost-amish-by-becky-and-me.aspx" target="_blank">Almost Amish</a> is less traditional, but still Amish inspired.  Three star blocks and tone on tone fabrics are used to create the beautiful, simple look.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More than just a pattern for a quilt, this book is a collection of thank you letters and photos from children who won ponies by selling subscriptions to The Farmer&#8217;s Wife magazine in the early 1900&#8242;s.   Laura Hird selected 90 letters from the lucky pony winners and chose blocks inspired by the stories and photos.  The sampler quilt consists of 90 traditional 8&#8243; blocks to make a large queen sized quilt.   Though the blocks are traditional, many of them will be blocks you don&#8217;t see used over and over.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.quiltersshowcase.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Pony-Club3.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-2741" title="Pony Club" src="http://www.quiltersshowcase.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Pony-Club3.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As Laura states, &#8220;these endearing, poignant, and sometimes hilarious letters provide a unique window into the lives of children in rural America at the turn of the 20th century&#8221;.   </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Following the letters is a section with complete, detailed assembly instructions and illustrations for each block.</p>
<p>  The book includes a CD with templates, foundation patterns where needed, and full sized line drawings of each block.  There are assembly diagrams for not only the queen size, but also king, lap and twin. </p>
<p>Sampler quilts are always interesting to make and this one is even more so.   Just two blocks a week and you&#8217;ll be finished this time next year even if you take a few weeks off.   The Pony Club Sampler Quilt would make a great project for a quilt guild and would provide for interesting conversation.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.quiltersshowcase.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/01_whole_quilt_rgb-252px.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-2746 alignright" title="01_whole_quilt_rgb-252px" src="http://www.quiltersshowcase.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/01_whole_quilt_rgb-252px.jpg" alt="" width="190" height="211" /></a></p>

<p>Laura Hird has been collecting copies of the Farmer&#8217;s Wife magazine and has one of the most complete collections in existence.  You can follow her blog, <a title="The Farmers Wife Quilt blog" href="http://thefarmerswifequilt.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Farmer&#8217;s Wife Quilt</a>, where she posts excerpts from the magazines, and discusses upcoming projects.</p>
