Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Harriet started quilting seriously in 1974, working alongside her mom. Her early quilting career included producing baby quilts for craft shows and teaching adult education classes. In 1981, harriet opened her quilt shop, Harriet's Treadle Arts. Her specialties at the time were free-motion embroidery, machine arts, and machine quilting. In 1982, Harriet attended one of Mary Ellen Hopkins's seminars. Mary Ellen's streamlined techniques and innovative design ideas led harriet to a new way of thinking, which caused her to give up the machine arts and to teach only quilting. Today, she is world renowned for being a true "mover and shaker" in the quilt world. In the late 1990s, she was voted one of the "88 Leaders of the Quilt World." Harriet created and inspired a whole new generation of machine quilters with her bestselling book Heirloom Machine Quilting, which has enjoyed 25 continuous years in print. She is also the author of Mastering Machine Appliqué and From Fiber to Fabric, and co-author of The Art of Classic Quiltmaking. Harriet and her daughter have been writing the Quilters Academy series - a skill-building course to teach precision piecing - since 2009. The fifth volume was released December 2015. Harriet is responsible for a myriad of products pertaining to machine quilting, and she has developed batting with Hobbs Bonded Fibers and designed fabric for P&B Textiles and Marcus Brothers. She retired in 2017, closing the store, selling her home, along with Carrie's family doing the same, and moving to a beautiful 40 acre farm in central Missouri. She is now involved with her four horses, her grandson, re-establishing the gardens, and enjoying being in the country.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific series of books for any quilter!
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2011
Verified Purchase
There are three books published at this point in this series that will eventually entail six books. These are great books whether you are a novice or an experienced quilter. There is an amazing amount of information in each volume. It is written clearly and well-illustrated. I have an entire library of quilt books - we are always looking for that perfect one, right? - but all I've ever needed was this series. Each volume builds on the previous ones, but each one can stand alone as well. Each book in the series tackles a different type of quilt making - and everything you need to know about that type of quilt is in that volume. The first one is on basic sewing and quilting, how to draft a quilt, and how to make quilts using squares and rectangles. The next one is sewing blocks on-point, the third on triangles. Each volume shows how to use multiple techniques, so you can find the one that works best for you. Plus there are plenty of little tips in easy-to-find boxes sprinkles throughout each chapter. These books take time to read completely since there is so much information in each one. There are plenty of illustrations, tips, and techniques that help speed up the process of quilt making, which I loved. Different quilting tools are reviewed and their use demonstrated. I have learned a great number of handy tips about sewing in general from these books, not just about quilt making, and I have been sewing for decades.

I can't wait for the next one to come out!

5.0 out of 5 stars It is nice to have experience
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2017

The Junior Year (Volume 3) builds on the skills developed in the first two volumes of Quilter's Academy. I have sewn professionally and hobby quilted by machine for 35 years and didn't consider I would need a "How to" book on sewing and quilting. When I received Volume One in a quilting accessory "bundle," I realized how much I had missed along the way, and began learning something "new" from the very first page. These books are an invaluable tool for anyone whether beginner or experienced. It is nice to have experience, but it doesn't count for much unless the experience has been the right kind. Volume 3 has all the integrity of the previous books and continues to amaze me. Harriet and Carrie give credit to all the great names of quilting who have devised and developed the techniques that elevate drafting, piecing and quilting to classic craftsmanship.

I bought the first five of these after they were recommended by my quilt shop. I have been quilting for at least 10 years and I have learned so much in the first book (and trying to unlearn bad habits) that I wish I had heard about Harriet earlier. Recommend highly!

5.0 out of 5 stars I have Qulter's Academy Vol 1 & 2 also. What a blessing
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2011
Verified Purchase
I have all 3 now. I have begun on Vol 1 and the information is invaluable! Cannot wait to get into Vol 2 and then Vol 3. Of course I peaked! I am so anxsious to get to Vol 3 before 4 comes out! Its a goal! Even if I don't follow step by step these will help me with the questions I have. I have only completed about 10 quilts... so I have questions. Then, I am teaching (or rather helping to learn) a good friend and my daughter-in-law to quilt. It isn't easy if you don't have reference material. Well these are it!!! Cram-packed with info, some things that you need clarification on and/or confirmation that you are doing it right, and other things that you didn't even know you needed to know! Be prepared to be blown away!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best flying geese instructions ever, otherwise a LOT of detail
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2022
Verified Purchase
I love this book for her method of using one large and one medium square to make flying geese. It does waste a little in trimming them down but it the ONLY method I've ever seen that consistently makes perfect flying geese with a full 1/4' seam allowance at the goose's "beak." I have seen that method only here and ONE YouTube video that is hard to find and the video only talks one through a single size, whereas this gives you tables for many sizes. I keep the book in my library to show people that method. The rest is very detailed instructions for things I already knew and a few patterns I have no interest in making.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Quilting Information
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2015
Verified Purchase
This book is very good for beginners to master some of the aspects of quilting. Harriet and her daughter are clear and very percise. I am so glad to have this reference, I had no idea how many designs are made from simple squares, triangels and circles. I highly recommend this book. I try to do at least one of the projects in each section of the book for practise.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best!
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2012

Harriet and Carrie Hargrave are masters at their skill and uncompromising in their standards. They are not caught up in the fad of teaching projects, but rather teaching skills and discipline so readers can create their own projects with a sense of pride and accomplishment. If Quilter's Academy is read cover to cover, starting with volume I readers will learn from the best how to prepare fabric, choose threads, fabrics, needles, batting and other tools to make whatever quilt they want, whether published in the book or observed anywhere. There are even lessons in making your own stencils from any quilts to transfer to your own creations. Harriet, and now her daughter Carrie are invaluable members of the quilting world and I highly recommend attending one of their classes or workshops, and barring that, studying Quilter's Academy. Volume III is a masterpiece in diagonals, which were a real challenge for me before learning their methods. I recommend starting with Volume I, working through each volume, then starting Volume III. Although not entirely required, Volume III uses many of the skills acquired in the earlier lessons. Volume IV will build on all skills learned in the Volumes I, II and III. I cannot wait for its arrival.

If you're an advanced beginner, intermediate or experienced quilter, this series is for you!! If you're a beginner or advanced beginner, I'd recommend you purchase volumes one and two as well. This series teaches you how to piece and design your quilt the RIGHT way! And yes, there is a right way to achieve perfect quilt tops.

This third volume focuses on triangle and working with bias edges. I can't recommend this series enough!
