    Love the Little Gatherings book! I have over 200 quilting related books. Sometimes a girl has to quilt by reading a book. Love getting all the ideas!

    I would guess I have 50 quilt books but wouldn’t be surprised if I counted, there’d be a few more than that. The new book looks like it needs to be on my bookshelf! You have the best projects.

    I haven’t counted but I’m guessing over 300 I have a lot of quilt books and even more quilt magazines. I also have cross stitch and beading magazines and books

        250 would be a conservative number. Always seems to be one more I can’t live without. 😬

      I have around 30-40 quilt books but they are are of date older freebie books from 1990’s that I got from my quilters guild. Love your new mini quilt book Little Gatherings especially the feathered Star mini quilt project.

    I can’t even begin to count the number of quilting books I have..I worked in a quilt,shop for many years so the temptation was always there to buy the new books as they came in.if I had to guess, I would say 150..I have purged and given away through the years.

  8. Deborah Kuchta Avatar
    Deborah Kuchta

    wow – a lot of books. Probably close to 200. I have a huge bookcase in my sewing room and now some of the newer books have taken over the bookshelves in my living area. Always can use one more!

    Claudia Estep

    I love all kinds of crafts so therefore I have purchased a huge amount of books ( probably upwards of 500) But when it comes to “fabric “ books I’ll estimate 300 books and magazines (ie Simply Quits). I cannot stop myself!

    I would guess probably 45 or so. How many have I used? Maybe 3. It is another sad addiction. I keep telling myself I will do all the quilt I live in the books (the reason why I bought them) when I retire and quilt all day. 🤷‍♀️

  13. Pat McNutt Avatar

    I have quite a few but one more of yours would be wonderful. I love your style! I don’t know how you pump so many patterns and books out so quickly. You must have a lot of good elf’s to help. Merry Christmas 🎄

    Thank you for doing the 12 days of Christmas posts again this year. I look forward to seeing what you pick each year! I have too many quilting books to count. I would say at least 50.

    I have 5 shelves full of quilt books, art books for inspiration, and general design books. I counted the number of books on a couple of shelves–one shelf had around 30 books, many of them thicker/larger art books. The other shelf was mostly standard size quilt books and there were 70 of them on one shelf. I would average it all out to about 50/shelf, which would total around 250 books altogether!

  25. Therese H Avatar

    I can’t count as we have moved twice across country in the last 20 and had to downsize to save on moving costs so lots of my books were given away to friends. You mini book would be a great addition.

    I have over 100. Never enough books. And that doesn’t include the quilting magazines.

  42. Judi Leventhal Avatar

  43. Carol Eberhardt Avatar
    Carol Eberhardt

    I have 46 books, I would have had more, but decided to weed out the collection and only keep piecing and wool books, no hand appliqué books, watercolor quilts (remember that trend?) and other types of stitching I’ll probably never do.

  44. Susan Koscielak Avatar
    Susan Koscielak

    I have about 60 books. They range from general quilting procedures to specific processes such as paper piecing and appliqué and also embellishments which includes embroidery. I am more and more interested in mini quilts. I love your wall!

    Way tooooo many to count! I have at least 8 shelves 3-4 foot long full of quilt and quilt history books and several that are not on the shelf yet. Quilt books are a passion as is my fabric stash.

    3 Shelves of books and 2 boxes full of patterns and way too many magazines to count, which is more quilts, rugs, or stitched pieces than I can make in this lifetime. But there is always a new idea or way to do a pattern.

    Your new book looks amazing. Your wall of little quilts is absolutely stunning. I would say approximately 48 books in my library.

  55. Darlene Wegrynowski Avatar

    I must have over 300+ books, DVD’s, magazines and hundreds of patterns in binders. Fortunately or unfortunately these past two years we have been blessed with hundreds of free patterns from designers! The book buddy app has really helped me cut down on purchasing duplicates which it tells me I have 180 in just quilting books alone (not counting any of the other crafts I do; ie, knitting, etc). I know many keep books on their computers but I love the hard copies.

    I have several hundred quilting books since I also love books. Have most of yours. Perhaps you’d consider doing a larger version of the 9 patch with 2 square-in-a-square borders as the pieced SBOW in 2022?

  67. maryclaire36 Avatar

    I would love to add your new mini book to my library. When my collection of sewing, quilting, embroidery books became too large and I ended up with duplicates, I decided it was time to index them so I could check titles before ordering. At this time, my index is 52 pages with an average of 11 book titles on each page, making an estimate total of 572. This system has paid off as I belive I have only 3 duplicates. This may seem obsessive but I love to study quilts and can’t resist a new book. My first quilting classes began with the Jo Morton Club for Little Quilts. I have made larger ones; however, the minis are my favorite. Recently I ordered from Primative Gatherings when I found your YouTube on the small UW flag quilts. I really enjoy your teaching sessions and thank you for all of your generous offerings.

    Closest estimate is 300…and I recently donated over 250 to my local quilt guild for other quilters to enjoy. I’ve been a quilt book collector for decades and we recently sold our home to “right size” after my husband retired. He’s a great quilter’s husband, and never complains about the amount of fabric, wool, notions, machines, or books…well, at least he hasn’t since I reminded him I’m not shopping at the jewelry store. 😉

    I love your wall of minis. I think I have more than enough to start a gallery wall of my own. Need to look into how you use the yardsticks and clips. Also, I will have been quilting for 40 years in 2022 and have over 500 quilting, stitching and rug hooking books and still buying, as well as many magazines I just can’t part with. It’s fun to pull books and magazines out after not looking at them for a while.

    So very hard to even think that this estimate is correct, but guessing maybe 75 books dedicated to quilting projects. 200+ dedicated to quilt history.

    Can’t tell you how goof I felt reading the comments – so many others have the same addiction to quilting books that I do. I now don’t have to feel embarrassed to admit that I must have over 400!

    Oh, I’d be scared to count since I’ve been quilting since about 1980! Remer all the states that documented their old quilts? I’ve got them! Books that had templates before strip piecing ? Have those too!

    About 5 years ago I started a spreadsheet of all my quilting books. At that time I had just under 100. Now I estimate that I doubled that. I have many books authored by Lisa. Even have one from her early years under Backyard Quilts!

    I don’t even know how many quilt books I have. I’m not very good about keeping them organized and in one location, but I have a lot! I just love getting a new quilt book, looking at all the designs and imagining what I’m going to make. Your little quilts are all so beautiful, but I’ve been nervous to try making one, your book will inspire me to get started!

    OMG! I will only give an educated guesstimate as, I am quite sure, would be a number more than I probably really want to know. When you consider magazine subscriptions, and the over flow books that are found on shelves in the living room and den etc, I wager I have close to 200. I have loved surrounding myself with those books that make me happy and above all, bring inspiration.

    That will be a great book to have with a bunch of your small quilt patterns in one place. The triangle paper is really helpful to have especially with the small piecing makes it much more accurate.

    I had two big books sales full of quilt books- I like to read them in bed. You don’t have to make every quilt, but if you understand how they’re made you can improve your piecing! We’re moving to a smaller home! But I’ve rehomed about half my books. In going through them I found one of Lisa’s before she started Primitive Gatherings. Love it❤️
