Wow, I've never thought about what books I would have to keep if I really needed to downsize. I'll have to ponder that.Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085773199847638377.post-63449559657655658782021-05-10T10:48:57.726-07:002021-05-10T10:48:57.726-07:00I have the Beyer and Brackman books, also the Fons...I have the Beyer and Brackman books, also the Fons & Porter book mentioned by Stitches. All are fantastic. I've now added the Hargrave-Craig book to my "watch for" list, because it looks like it steps through fabric calculation logic, rather than use a bunch of charts. Thanks for the warning about the reprint being black and white.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085773199847638377.post-70239489621671310692021-05-10T05:15:10.586-07:002021-05-10T05:15:10.586-07:00You made my day, thanks!You made my day, thanks!Barbara Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997358370013910746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085773199847638377.post-51273265834242007582021-05-10T05:13:14.336-07:002021-05-10T05:13:14.336-07:00I am so enjoying these retrospective blog posts of...I am so enjoying these retrospective blog posts of yours. I admire your quilting and generous sharing of information, and I trust your judgement. I bought the Harriet Hargrove book the last time you recommended it, and I agree it is wonderful. I don’t have the Brackman book yet, but it’s on its way to me! And I totally agree with the Beyer book. I believe I drool over it more than any other. Guess I need to add the Bonner book to my wish list! Thank you so much for sharing your information with us. momto1https://www.blogger.com/profile/08078861827642401321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085773199847638377.post-45657754399185764652021-05-09T13:38:56.052-07:002021-05-09T13:38:56.052-07:00but I can figure it out:,,,,,so true most of the t...but I can figure it out:,,,,,so true most of the time.

I still use it occasionally if I am doing a procedure that I haven't done for a long time..and I've been quilting over 50 years...It's a great book!!
