Review

Meg sent me a copy of her book the other day, The Quilter's Catalog: A Comprehensive Resource Guide, and I'm here to tell you that it's absolutely, mind bogglingly, out of this world. The sheer volume of work that this former Wall Street Journal reporter put into this guide is astonishing and I defy any quilter (or non-quilter for that matter) to diss it.
Along with more than several step-by-step projects, Meg goes into depth on the issues and products we want to know about – longarms, fabric dyeing, new vs. old techniques, up-to-the minute quilting tools, and interviews with the top quilting personalities known today (Well, not me but her book was written before we met. How's that for luck?). Honestly, if you have a quilt related question, it's answered in this book.
Listen to this. The book's retail price is an astonishing $17.95 ( www.amazon.com is selling it for $12.21!) making it the very best value of any current quilt related book on the market today. How could you possibly pass it up? Kids, this is huge and I assure you that The Quilter's Catalog will be my bedside and sewing room reading for years to come!
—Mark Lipinski, Quilter's Home Magazine

Review

Meg Cox's scrapbag of lessons and lore takes the mystery out of quilting while leaving the mystique. The Quilt Catalog is an essential companion for quilters and quilt-lovers.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis book is AMAZING.
By R. Baucum on February 26, 2008
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I loved this book from the moment I held it. It is a nice, thick, quality book. But it's what inside that makes it superb. There is a wealth of information on just about everything you would want to know about quilting. One area that really surprised me was the author's information on websites - I thought I knew them all and she had a ton of sites I had never found (the listing of sites for African fabric was amazing!). The author's profiles of great teachers also make for great reading. She helps the reader understand the passion and need to create of these folks and to me, that is worth the price of this book alone. I can tell you this - The Quilters Catalog will be in my top five. Thank you so much for writing this book. It is evident it was a labor of love.

5.0 out of 5 starsA True Treasure for Beginning to Advanced Quilters
By G. Bitter on February 24, 2008
Format: Paperback
Whether you're new to quilting, or have been quilting for years, I'm sure you'll find useful or interesting material in Meg Cox's new book. In addition to being a great resource, this book is a fantastic read - full of stories and history. You'll find suggested websites to visit for everything from where to donate quilts, to sites for your favorite quilt artists and teachers. There are sections for cool tools (like the reducing glass which was new to me), and tips from the top quilting teachers. I've been quilting for four years and have two very basic sewing machines that I use for piecing (I'm hopeless at machine quilting). Now, thanks to Meg's book, I found out that there a machines where you can use your knee to raise the presser foot - who knew? I just may need one of those! Plus there are twelve great projects. I can't wait to make my own fruit tart pin cushion, but my own rule that there cannot be more than three projects in the works means that I'll have to finish up that New York Beauty quilt before I embark. Happy Quilting to all who buy this book!

5.0 out of 5 starsraves for gifts
By B. F. Fox on March 21, 2008
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
When I gave quilters this book, it got raves. It's so packed full of intriguing bits of information, and also with enticing projects. I'm not a quilter, but the bright photos and the easy-seeming instructions make me want to get out my needle and threads. BFF

5.0 out of 5 starsCalling all Quilters!
By M. Hunter on November 17, 2008
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Whether you've been quilting for years, or a "newbie" like me, you will like this book (a lot!). My daughter first showed The Quilter's Catalog to me, I checked it out from the library, and I had to get one of my own! It will take you months to absorb all the information, web sites, tips, everything! Every time I open it, I find something new. This is going to be the perfect Christmas present for my "quilting guru" (my next door neighbor). Although she's been a quilter for years, and probably knows just about all there is to know about quilt making, I'm sure she will enjoy this book as much as I do. Cheers for author Meg - this is one of my best craft books - and I have a BUNCH of them!

5.0 out of 5 starsEverything you ever wanted to know re: quilting!
By N. Myers on July 9, 2008
Format: Paperback
This book is a must-have resource for anyone interested in quilting! It is arguably eight books in one, very well-written by a former Wall Street journalist who has developed a passion for quilting. I bought it after hearing the author at my local quilt guild, thinking it would be a good reference....but I am now reading it cover-to-cover, which is not my usual response to a reference book! Lots of interesting tid-bits about the history of quilting, the leading authors/teachers/designers of today and yesteryear, and interviews with the "quilter on the street" and their views of specific topics. I loved the quilting world before I started reading it, and this book has only added to that feeling!

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Quilter's Catalog
By Patricia Poole Wilson on August 11, 2008
Format: Paperback
I've been quilting about four years and subscribe and buy about every quilt magazine on the newstand. I have bought many books in addition to this one. Of all the books/magazines this is absolutely the best quilting information that I have ever seen. Not only does it have all kinds of instructions, tips, etc., but has numerous resources that you can go to. I recommend this book to all quilters...first timers, as well as, experienced quilters.You will wonder why you haven't bought this book before now.This is absolutely a "MUST BUY" !!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 starsSurprisingly good
By Cynthia White on October 5, 2008
Format: Paperback
Buy this book. If you have only one book on your quilt bookshelf, it should be this one. I have a library of quilt books, but I couldn't believe how useful this one is, and you can also sit and read it like a novel. It's extremely well-researched and contains a wealth of resources that I've never seen under one cover. Where to go on quilt retreats, websites, teacher profiles, equipment, fabric and even some patterns. I love this book, and you will too.
