This is so exciting ! Every since I started designing quilts I have had the dream of writing a book to share my designs. It has now become a reality, dreams do come true afterall. Being an avid collector of quilting books, always curious about the authors and their methods. I now finally will have a book on my book shelf that is written by me.
The book 'Autumn Bouquet' has twelve quilt patterns, and gives you two methods of invisible machine applique where I have been able to share my tips and tricks for the applique methods I use.
You can pre-order the book here: Martingale Amazon and Barnes and Noble
Or for a signed copy order direct from my website here
This is what Martingale are saying about my book.
'This collection of dreamy quilts bursts with fabrics from the scrap basket! Classic patchwork provides a backdrop for pretty flowers and twining vines, all made easy with machine-applique. Learn two ways to prepare appliques, plus tips and tricks for setting up your machine for applique.
Dozens of close-up photos and tips reveal secrets for mingling antique-style fabrics ranging from blushing pinks and soft purples to rich golds, reds, and browns. From small wall quilts to lap-sized designs, this bouquet of quilts is simple to sew--yet so extraordinary, the quilts you make will be handed down from generation to generation.'
I can now give you a preview of whats inside, and the lovely quilts I hope you enjoy making. I am so looking forward to seeing all that you do with the patterns in my book.

How to press a Flying Geese Border ? This is the question I was asked so I have done my best to answer as it is not exactly what you might be expecting to see. Read more to see how I pressed the seams to get nice flat intersections.
Making four Flying Geese units at a time is a great time saver, and a wonderful method. I love to oversize the units and trim them down to the correct size for perfect blocks. Read how I go about making these versatile units that I use in almost every quilt I make.
