One day I was sitting down for a meeting with our fearless leader Matt, and we were talking about sales and what quilters would want. He asked me if quilters would ever just want a handful of really good books at 50% off. My answer of course was “heck yeah!” and from that, this sale was born. I started with a poll of the Connecting Threads department to see what books they would recommend for quilters. From there, Judy and I tried to “spread the wealth” and get books that would suit beginners to experts and that touched on a variety of topics.

The following is a list of our 10 best picks for every quilter. The best part? Each of these books is 50% off until April 4th!

Organizing solutions for Every Quilter

We chose this book because really, what quilter doesn’t need some organizing inspiration? We have a lot of fabric, books, notions, etc. to fit into spaces that don’t usually measure exactly the same size as our stashes… This book can help give you some ideas to more efficiently fit all of your things and possibly make room for more…
