About this title

About the Author:

Suzanne Nelson is a former Rodale quilt book editor, and lives in Neffs, Pennsylvania.

From Library Journal:

Rodale needlecraft titles like this one are setting a standard that other publishers might well emulate?the book sports a sturdy binding, good-quality paper, gorgeous illustrations, and superior page layout. It is gratifying to find that the editor has not skimped on content either. A busy mother of two small children, Nelson wanted projects that would be as close to instant gratification as one gets in quilting and would include time-saving techniques and tips for adding personal touches to the work. Her idea was to solicit original patterns from U.S. quilt designers who normally publish their work in pattern booklets sold in quilting supply stores. Most of the projects are wall or miniature quilts employing rotary cutting and speed assembly techniques to make the projects come together rapidly without sacrificing quality in the process. Highly recommended for public libraries.
