We’re making new ebooks available for purchase all the time on C&T’s main web site ctpub.com. Our latest additions include long out-of-print favorites like Simply Stars by Alex Anderson and Shadow Quilts by Patricia Maixner Magaret & Donna Ingram Slusser, along with popular recent titles like Fast, Fun & Easy Fabric Bowls by Linda Johansen. eBooks are great because you can view the text and images your computer (and make them LARGER), then print just the pages you need – no need to trace or visit a copy shop to make your patterns. So convenient!

Visit the eBooks & Downloads section of our online catalog for all of our available titles (and our eBook Help page for the techie info).
A creative life is filled with challenges and rewards, puzzles and curiosities. This ongoing series of poems attempts to express the “Aha”s and “What if”s, the deep ponderings and casual observations of an inquiring mind trying to make sense of reality.

Fast2cut rulers and templates make quilting projects so much easier, so I’m very happy to announce our latest giveaway includes BOTH rulers and templates for SEVEN lucky winners! Each giveaway prize pack includes:
The fast2cut Quilters’ TRIMplates are acrylic trimming templates that make it easy to sew Storm at Sea or Square-in-a-Square blocks with perfect accuracy. They make the perfect companion to Wendy Mathson’s latest book, A New Light on Storm at Sea Quilts (see the quilt below), and you can see a video demo of the TRIMplates here on YouTube.


This versatile set of fast2cut rulers with built-in seam allowances helps you cut half- and quarter-diamonds for stars and kaleidoscopes with greater speed and precision than ever before. This set is the companion to Jan Krentz’s book,
Quick Star Quilts & Beyond but of course their use is not limited to the projects contained therein.
