"I've been waiting for Quilter's Catalog ever since Mark Lipinski mentioned it in his Quilter's Home magazine and I finally picked it up the other day at Barnes and Noble -- worth the wait! I love it. HOURS of entertainment for the quilt addicted. Thanks for such a wonderful resource."

"My name is Tina Allison and I met you in Paducah, along with probably 30,000 other people. I had explained to you that I was a brand new quilter and you discussed your book and the great beginners section. You asked me to email you and let you know how it is going so far with the book. I LOVE IT!!!! I have skipped around some and read the Beginners section first. It so far has helped me soooo much. Thanks for writing something so inspiring and appropriate for me at this time in my life."
  - Tina Allison, Riceville, TN

"The book is so packed with useful information and is a great value for the money! I can't tell you how much I've already used this book. I've found quilt shows near me and have taken classes at them too -- I never would have known about them if not for your book, so thanks for your part in getting me started in quilting!"
  - Judy Fugarazzo, Wayland, MA

"Thanks for creating this wonderful book. I am fairly new to quilting and have read it cover to cover a few times. I have been inspired to try my hand at art quilts and dyeing my own fabric."
  - Mary Sharpe, Active Duty Military, Ft. Lewis, WA

"I have your book and it is amazing. I am telling all my friends, what a great book. I am currently president of the Cimarron Valley Quilt Guild in Stillwater, Oklahoma and would like very much to know how to get in line for you to come visit us..."
  - Peggy Gaston

"This book has anything & everything you need with regards to quilting. Can't believe I have been quilting for over 10 years without it!!"

Former Wall Street Journal reporter Cox (The Book of New Family Traditions) has left no quilt square unstitched in this dizzying compilation of everything you've ever wanted to know about quilting and then some. Far from being merely a quaint tradition of an older generation, quilting is now a $3 billion business, according to Cox, that serves over 27.7 million quilters across the U.S. Cox enthusiastically fills the pages with photos, sidebars, resource sections and tips. She also includes a special section titled "12 Projects from Renowned Quilters" that offers patterns for the beginner to the advanced quilter with four-color photos. While quilting by hand may still be popular, and even preferred by the author, she includes detailed information on sewing machine manufacturers, quilt design software, quilting podcasts and Web shows. She also provides inspiration for quilters through profiles of teachers like Eleanor Burns and Kaffee Fassett, complete with their personal tips. This book is an essential resource for hobbyists and professionals alike, and is sure to be a classic for years to come."

While reporting on the modern quilt world for The Quilter's Catalog, Meg compiled a set of 10 questions for quilters. More than 350 quilters all over the world completed the survey, and a number of them were quoted in the book. All the responses helped Meg understand the trends and passions fueling quiltmakers today. Analysis of the new survey will be reported on later and included in Meg's next book. After every 50 responses, Meg will pick a questionnaire at random and send that quilter four fat quarters of her favorite current fabrics.
