Product Description
A how-to manual for cutting old-time patchwork patterns with today's accurate templates and quick rotary techniques. All 175 block patterns are made from three basic shapes: the square, the half-square triangle, and the quarter-square triangle. Make different and unique-looking blocks, choosing your own colors and fabrics in light, medium, and dark tonal values. Overlapping skill levels - patterns are grouped by easy, intermediate, and advanced for Nine-Patch, Four-Patch, and Five-Patch blocks. Contains full-sized templates with double-cut points for accuracy. The math has been done for you; just trace, cut, and sew. AUTHORBIO: Pat Yamin is the creator of innovative tools for quilters, including Back to Basic Acrylic Templates and the Brooklyn Revolver, a revolving turntable. Living in New York, this author, guest speaker, and teacher is known coast-to-coast as the owner of Come Quilt With Me, a successful mail-order company for quilters. Pat teaches at many national quilt shows and stays apprised of quiltrs' needs and desires. AUTHORBIO: Helen Squires has been a quilt teacher, designer of quilting patterns, guest lecturer, auctioneer, and Q&A columnist for 30 years, and is well known for her six books in the Dear Helen series of quilting patterns. Helen began her publishing career as the "Dear Helen, Can You Tell Me....?" columnist for "Lady's Circle Patchwork Quilts" magazine in 1978 and published the first of her "Dear Helen" books in 1987. REVIEW: Looking for a great way to learn to quilt? Want a book full of patchwork ideas and easy-to-sew patterns? Use three basic shapes to make the same quilts our grandmothers made, but with accurate templates and rotary techniques.
About the Author
Raised in the Midwest, Pat Yamin learned to sew and knit in 4-H clubs. After college, she married and moved to Brooklyn, New York. While pursuing her master's degree in guidance and counseling, she needed a creative outlet. Pat taught herself to quilt while she became familiar with the city. Quilting supplies were hard to come by, but she learned that Jeff Gutcheon had a studio in SoHo where he sold a few books, batting, and his line of fabric. Pat was working as a vocational counselor to high school seniors and quilting kept her sane in the evenings. She moved from an apartment to a Victorian-style home and began teaching quilting classes in the evenings. Pat's classes became popular, and in no time, she was teaching four nights a week in Manhattan, conducting workshops in her home studio on the weekends, and working full time in counseling. Pat started a mail-order company called Come Quilt With Me in 1981. She had an inventory of quilting supplies for her students and filled mail orders as well.
