This week in our In Tandem Art discussion Sarah and I discussed books that have given us creative inspiration. Here is a fairly comprehensive list of the books we talked about. Links to sellers are for your convenience only, I don't receive a thing from any of the sellers....

Looking forward to perusing your list in detail + I plan to link to it in my upcoming newsletter...
I discovered Sherri Lynn Wood's book a couple of months ago. It was great. I want to revisit Quilting Lessons by Janet Berlo. (It was published in 2004 and I read it in 2007 or so.)
