new book
Here's what one reader had to say about my new book: "I finished reading the book yesterday, and I have to compliment you. It is well written, very readable and I can hear you in the pages." Art
GREAT NEWS
I will now be carrying the kits for my free web patterns!!! Good news for people who do not have access to a local quilt shop and those who are looking for the exact fabrics to make the free patterns.
####Check out my new half day workshop "Unfoundation" Piecing 101. No more tearing off the foundation! In it you will learn how to sew "off" the foundation and make a NY Beauty block. It is a technique class and something you can use on other foundation patterns. The class also includes my special pinning technique for perfect curves everytime.
I carry patterns for all skill levels - beginner to advanced. Strip piecing, curved piecing, foundation piecing, and using templates -- Choose your favorite technique or learn a brand new one. Fully illustrated and well written instructions, busting with great tips.
You can be assured that you are getting an excellent product when purchasing my patterns.

Quilting supplies that I stock include, rotary cutters and blades, freezer paper for foundation (paper) piecing, fine silk pins, 100% cotton pre-filled bobbins, acrylic templates that go with some of my patterns, and my favorite seam ripper. These are products that I personally use.
Stay tuned for tips on how to use the freezer paper in your printer for printing foundation pieces and quilt labels.
