Now quilters can take a class without leaving home! Private workshops presented by nine leading quilt teachers from across the U.S. lie between the covers of this book. Each instructor shares her pointers and an original quilt. Selected by the editors of Traditional Quiltworks magazine, these favorite projects are for quilters of any skill level. Quilters develop expert applique skills with Pat Campbell's tips for perfect points and round berries in her delightful applique pattern. Or they can learn an easy stencil technique while making their own version of Nancy Brenan Daniel's colorful Christmas quilt. Other workshops include Beverly Dunivent's instructions for string-piecing quilts, Mary Ellen Hopkins's novel way to make a dynamic California Rail quilt, and updated version of House blocks by Diana McClun and Laura Nownes in their "Madison House," Jean Wells' Log Cabin and Tree blocks, Bettina Havig's Amish-style wallhanging and Jan Krentz's Danish Heart blocks. The big, full-color photos and page after page of clearly written instructions are full of inspiration for quilters. Entice your customers to make that short trip into their sewing rooms and begin a private lesson with their favorite quilting instructor.
