Free Modern Quilt ebook

You have to love it when you get an email asking you to do a review on a Modern Quilt ebook. The icing on the cake is when they give me the link that I can share with my readers!

This ebook  from McCall's Quilting has three cute and uncomplicated patterns for modern quilts.   Each pattern offers some really informative technique tutorials.   It was here that I learned about 'quilt as you go' in making a fun modern quilt.

I think my favourite is this one.  It is called 'Baubles and Beads'.

'Rainbow Rhythm'

This quilt has a touch of black that really makes your eye wander around it.

'Lemon Squeezy'

This is the ultimate summer quilt, hands down.

Do you want to know how to get one?   Go here and sew up a little bit of modern!  Thanks McCall's Quilting!

Free Log Cabin Quilt ebook

I received an email last week from Fons and Porter asking if I would be interested in doing a book review on their Log Cabin Quilt ebook.   I have done reviews before and one thing I do tell them is that I will be honest.   If I don't like something, I will be polite about it, but I will let the readers know that it didn't turn my crank.   

So I accepted the offer and was sent a 24 page book on log cabin quilts.   I have done the log cabin block before, but not being a traditional quilter, never really knew what to do with it and never knew how to put it together into a quilt that would make it pop by my standards!   

I was in for a very pleasant surprise.   This ebook  gives some fantastic examples.   They start by breaking  the ebook down into three categories, traditional, courthouse steps and chevron.  Can you guess which one I zoomed to?   Yessir, chevron here I come!

The ebook is very well put together.   They provide excellent instructions and cutting charts for you to follow, and they are simple!    If you have never done a log cabin quilt, this book is not intimidating in the least.   And if you have whipped through some log cabin quilts, guaranteed you will find something that catches your eye.  

The little extras they put into the book are just wonderful.  For example it describes thoroughly how to bind with piping, and how to bind the 'lumpless way'.   

I highly recommend this book as a wonderful addition to your quilt book collection.   And best of all is they are offering it to you free!  Thank you Fons and Porter.
