A little book review for you... with a bonus.
Have you seen this book at your local quilt shop yet?
It's called a Flair for Fabric by Martingale Publishers.
This book is jammed with adorable projects from a
variety of designers. The talented women from Henry Glass Fabrics
got together and put together a wonderful book filled with
quilts that you will be drooling over!
(photographs are from Brent Kane)
It was compiled by Linda Lum DeBono and
here is a list of some of the fabric designers that
have quilt projects in this book:
Leanne Anderson
Dana Brooks
Linda Lum DeBono
Kim Diehl
Anni Downs
Jill Finley
Margot Languedoc
Janet Nesbitt and Pam Soliday of Buggy Barn
Heather Mulder Peterson and Jacquelynne Steves
and that's not all!
There are several more I could mention.
On top of all is that the designers are donating all of their
royalties from the sale of this book to the Red Cross.
How nice is that!
So do you want to see a few more must-do projects from the book?
How about this one?
Or this sweet little pillow?
Or this one?
Hands down... this one!

What really impressed me with this book is the plethora
of tips that the designers shared on
how they use fabrics from their stash to create a new look.
The information they provide is very useful and it really
feels like you get to know them a little bit better also.
It's worth buying the book just for that...
but you will love the 15 quilts and projects that are in it also! Wink!
(as an added bonus...
I am giving you a link to where I found the Flair for Fabric book on sale)
9 friends stopped by to chat:
Looks like a great book! I especially love that cute little first pillow that you've shown!
That little pillow would make a great AYOS project! It looks like a fun book.
This book is on my buying list for this year. I'm up to 4 books so far. :)
you are no fun today!!!
tempting me with another book--

I haven't seen this book. Of course, we do not have a 'local' quilt shop anymore. Thanks for the review and link to find my very own copy!
