$23.99
by Billie Lauder
Billie will show you how to play with 60 and 45 degree Diamonds. You will loose the fear of working with bias edges. The “Y” seam will become just another seam to you. You will understand how to figure out your filler triangles and squares. She will show you basic steps for a four patch, nine patch, a tumbling block and a star. You will find that the basic method of construction stays the same no matter what the angle is. She will put a new “slant” on your thinking.

by Sarah Fielke
Mastering the variety of quilting techniques can be a challenge, but Quilting from Little Things by Sarah Fielke provides quilters with an easy way to try out new methods, textures, and colors, and in the process, build upon their skills.
Inside you'll find ten pairs of quilts that each provide a different lesson in quilt-making. By first constructing a small dolly quilt, you'll gain confidence in the techniques that enable you to make its larger companion quilt. These beautiful quilts, big and small, provide the opportunity to practice traditional quilting techniques such as creating wedges and flying geese blocks, and experiment with new, less conventional methods, such as deconstructed piecing. Sarah also shares her needle-turn appliqué and hand-quilting techniques, which give her quilts their contemporary and unique style.
Discover how, from little things, big and exciting things can grow.
