EQ6 Simplified by Fran Gonzalez
I actually started out with Electic Quilt 5 and upgraded to version 6 earlier this year. I had the program for awhile but got frustrated because the buttons and screens were confusing at times. I purchased Fran Gonzalez’s EQ5 Simplified and it opened up a whole new world in quilt design for me. I can’t recommend it enough. She walks you through creating some pretty amazing quilts using the programs features and extensive block library. Each lesson builds to the next and by the time you’re done you are anxious to create your own. My Rating:

Love of Quilting Magazine
This is one of my all-time favorite quilting magazines. Each edition contains at least a half a dozen quilt projects. The magazine also features sewing techniques for all sorts of quilting procedures. If you enjoy Fons and Porter’s PBS show, you’ll love their magazine!

Quilter’s Home Magazine
I enjoyed reading my first issue so much that I have to add it as a recommendation. It’s not your normal quilting magazine. It’s a very down-to-earth, tongue-in-cheek written publication. I laughed out loud at some of the comments and loved some of the “cheat” suggestions. Whether you’re an advanced quilter or a novice, this is a magazine to enjoy!

Quilter’s Complete Guide by Marianne Fons & Liz Porter
I’m relatively new to the world of quilting having only been at it for a couple of years. As time goes by my quilting library has grown almost as fast as my fabric stash. This book was one of the first acquired and is still one of my favorites.
If you’re new to quilting, you’ll find this one invaluable. The illustrations and explanations are great and I found some great time saving tips in additon to basic instruction. Fons and Porter are the best…I love their PBS show, their website, and, of course, this book. I highly recommend it!

5500 Quilt Block Designs – by Maggie Malone
The blocks are in color (very nice). The book does not include fabric or cutting instructions for the blocks but it is a treasure for ideas. The blocks I used in all my quilts can be found in this book …the Army Star, the Ohio Star, Buckeye Beauty, etc.
