I’ve said many times that teaching machine quilting is my favorite thing that I do! Nothing beats the look of satisfaction on a student’s face when they realize that can indeed quilt their own quilts. That’s one of the reasons I’ve written so many quilting books. I use them as my textbooks in class, and they are great for “independent study” for those who can’t take a workshop from me in person.

My first book was published in 2015 and my latest volume came out nearly 2 years ago – can you believe it? I’ve worked with 2 publishers and purchased the rights to my first 4 books once the original publisher went out of business. Although 4 of my 5 books are now out of print, they are all still available as PDF downloads. Last year I put together a fun little video showcasing all of the projects from all of the books.

Now I know asking which book is my fave is asking me to pick a favorite child!! But I want to know which one (or more) of these has changed *your* quilting life?
Be sure to stock up on any of these you don’t have, and complete your machine quilting library!!

Just for funsies, here’s a throwback pick of my now 20 year old daughter reading my first book when it came out. Although she’s not a quilter, she *is* an artist currently working on her BFA π

I am new to your site and very anxious to read your books. Can you suggest an order to follow?
Thanks for your interest! I would start with the 2 of them that are still in print: How Do I Quilt IT? and Machine Quilting with Style. You can get those on my website here: https://shop.christaquilts.com/category/patterns-books
