History Repeated: Block Exchange Quilts by the 19th-Century Patchwork Divas
by Betsy Chutchian and Carol Staehle
Inspired by their love of antique 19th-century quilts, the Patchwork Divas recreate these
quilted treasures of the past with 1800s reproduction fabrics. The group’s co-founders,
Betsy Chutchian and Carol Staehle, have assembled a captivating collection of quilts from
past block exchanges. Ranging from the simplicity of the Double Nine-Patch block to the
more challenging Carolina Lily block, there is a project for every skill level among this
book’s 16 classic quilts. Each of the chapters features detailed block instructions as well as
one to three setting options. To give you even more setting and color palette ideas, most of the chapters include an inspiring photo gallery of additional quilts by the Patchwork Divas.

Fruitful Hands
by Jacquelynne Steves
There was a time when the fruit of one's hands was a necessity to keep our families
clothed and fed. Today, we don't have to accomplish any of these tasks ourselves, unless
we want to. And many of us do want to achieve a feeling of accomplishment by using our
creative spirits to express ourselves through home decor and other items that offer
comfort to family and friends.
Fruitful Hands offers a variety of projects for both machine
sewing and hand stitching, and a yummy recipe that is "family approved" accompanies
each project. Includes 14 projects - from the "Citrus Peel Quilt," to the "Cheery Cherry
Punchneedle Pillow," to the "Heartfelt Home Floor Mat." Indulge your appetite with
"Pineapple Bread Pudding," "Blueberry Chutney," and "BLT Macaroni & Cheese Cups."
Iron Maiden: Mrs. Bobbins’ 2012 Calendar
Mrs. Bobbins has had quite the year! She saw the birth of her niece’s baby, she realized
she’s more of a cat lady after dog sitting, and she hit the gym as her New Year’s
resolution. And she did it all quilt-style! This 2012 calendar showcases 12 of our
favorite Mrs. Bobbins cartoons from the past year. See her use a layer cake as a birthday
cake, question why a postage stamp quilt can’t ship for free, and fly a quilt as a kite. Oh,
and let’s not forget about her panhandling for fabric money! Mrs. Bobbins has been
spicing up everyone’s Monday mornings since 2008. She is the product of artist Julia
Icenogle’s wacky humor and quirky pen.
