Follow-the-Line Quilting Designs Volume 5

I am excited to announce that my new book is being released in March.  This volume of the Follow-the-Line series includes 21 pattern sets featuring contiguous-line motifs of authentic Civil War designs.  I enjoyed writing this volume so much and hope you enjoy it too.

Calendar Girls

Please check out the American Patchwork & Quilting 2012 Calendar. The quilt for the month of April was designed by Glenna Hailey and quilted by me. It is titled Tulip Festival. The quilt features bright spring colored tulips with rickrack stems and appliqued hearts. The light airy applique foundation squares and border showcase the intricate quilting. It was a pleasure to work on this one!
