Books. I buy books & maybe today not everything in the book interests me but next year it might. Tastes & abilities change. Plus, in books authors/designers give background, tips, how-tos that are not printed with a pattern. In fact I’ve been donating old novels & other reading material as my quilting reading material is growing & I want to see those titles clearly. Also, that’s why we have libraries.
Interesting question. I love books because of all the extra “stuff” and it is relaxing and enjoyable to leisurely peruse them. But…. I always buy patterns. I have a system for storing and retrieving them that works for me. It is much harder for me to retrieve a pattern from a book. So many books, now which one contains the project I’m ready to tackle next.
Books, but also patterns. Books are a much easier way to store those patterns. I am also one who reads books and or magazines before bed. Helps turn the brain off and then I can dream of my next project.
I purchase quilting books. If there are two or three or more quilts in a book that I love, I think it is more economical (at $25-30) than purchasing three separate patterns (at $10-12 each).
Love books. You get severall patterns and other people’s instructions on cutting and piecing. Also enjoy the way the quilts are displayed.
Books, books & books. I can justify any book purchase. They are obviously inspirational, beautiful & useful for their purpose but also a great accesory to a shelf, a bedside, any table in any room. Then there is the cozy factor … reading curled up under a quilt, or in a chair by the fireplace, or flipping through one when watching TV (we all multi-task right?). I have crocheting magazines and booklets from my Mom and they are amazing to look through & I hope someday someone is amazed looking through my quilting books. Thanks for your contribution to my book collection!
I think a book please…they also look better up on a shelf. ..haha
