The Quiltmaker's Books




While I was checking in books at work, prior  to Christmas I came across these books:
The Quiltmaker's Gift and The Quiltmaker's Journey by Jeff Brumbeau.  I wasn't able to take them home that day (obviously popular books with quilters) however I did request them and a companion book - More Quilts from the Quiltmaker's Gift. They finally turned up just after Christmas. These are children's picture books, that share the story of a generous quiltmaker and how she became to be so. The  illustrations and stories are beautiful.  Both are well worth reading and if you are inclined you can make quilts from the companion book.

Enjoy.

    I own The Quilt Maker's Gift and love it! It surely in filled with beauty and inspiration. I have read online that there are a number of errors in the companion book, unless they have been corrected in recent editions.

    I read those books to my boys when they were younger. We loved them. :-) Beautiful art work too.
