Here we are…another year of things we cannot live without!!!! I love compliling these “needful” things for you…whether you are new to this or you are a veteran…I hope you have a great time with this event…
DAY 12-BOOKS
Were would be we without our Books? I know I am a book-a-holic…I collect quilting books…I listen to audio books while I stitch, (my fav is historical fiction), and I read downloaded books on my ipad to fall asleep at night…I cannot find any other way to shut it off (that would be my brain) other than to read a book…So my life is surrounded by books, books, books..my home sewing studio is filled with books..these cabinets house my 1/2 yard fabric collection but my book collection is piled on top of the four cabinets…Notice the nine-patch layout of my cabinets…lol…
One thing on the list this year is to publish a tour of my home sewing studio…but you get a little peek here…
One of the questions I get is…How do you come up with your designs? Do you ever run out of ideas…well…see those colorful binders…they are full of ideas…so many I have even divided them up in categories…
But back to those books… Primitive Gatherings just so happens to design, publish and print our own books. We are in the process of printing our book that is scheduled to release in January…called Star & Stripe Gatherings along with it’s fabric collection sidekick which just happens to have the same name from Moda Fabrics…(Look for this book to be in another deal later on!)
Today being our first day of 12 days until Christmas…we are going to run an AWESOME book special just for you our loyal followers…We are running the these books at $10! So If you are missing any of them from your Primitive Gatherings Collection NOW is the time to complete it…Six different ones…
A brief description of each book…
Flannel Gatherings– a book of 12 nice and easy, but still cool quilts to make without feeling like you are giving your right-hand away….now these quilts do not have to be made from flannel…but you are smart enought to know that already…
Primitive Christmas-Our first Christmas pattern book featuring 27 different projects from quilts to hooked rugs…fortunately Christmas comes every year so you never have enough Christmas projects for presents or decorating your home…
Quilter’s Journal– My journal collaboration with Martingale Publishers that is a fun place to keep track of your quilt stuff and everyday life…it is not dated…and has lots of inspiraton in it to make you get those stitches or patchwork finished. Photograph in our beautiful new home…
Nine- Patch Gatherings– a book with a cool fun method of making perfect nine-patches from 2 squares 5″ or 3 1/2″…results in 2-3″ or 2- 1 1/2″ finished Nine-patch blocks. The book then features a bunch of ways to put those Nine-patches together into fun little quilts! I noticed Nine-Patch Gatherings does not really show up in our photo above so I tried to take one with each book shown full out…
Christmas Gatherings– is a fairly new book featuring 28 designs all revolving around the Christmas Holiday…Incudles quilts, mini quilts, table runners, wool mats, ornaments and lots of other projects.
Little Gatherings-Do you like Mini quilts? This is the book for you then!! You will not be disappointed. Everything you need to know about stiching little…We will sell out of this book as this is the last book printed we did not print ourselves…
Now you may be pondering if you really need this or that book…but for $10 there should be no debate…
Each day you get a chance to win prizes…leave your comment after this post…Here is our first question…I can’t wait to hear from you…WINNERS will announced on New Years Day…
Do you buy books or just like to buy the pattern? This is an ongoing stuggle for us…Do we put 20 projects in a book for $20-some dollars or do we print individual patterns from 9$-15$ each? Which do you prefer? Because If I had a dollar for everytime I heard…”I don’t want to spend that much on a book…I just want the pattern!” I could retire retroactive 5 years ago…so leave us your thoughts in our comment section here on the blog…I’d also like to know if any of you currently own all 6 of these books?
I vote for books…Lisa
