Christopher K. ★★★★★

The six block patterns alone are worth the price, but the way she pairs each one with hand-embroidery stitches makes every project feel like a small work of art. I’ve already started the first quilt and the instructions for the embellishment layers are refreshingly straightforward.

Julian C. ★★★★★

The hand-embroidery diagrams are so clear I finally feel confident layering stitches over my piecing. Just finished the first block, and the detailed instructions made those tricky curves actually come together.

Benjamin I. ★★★★★

I’d been stuck in a quilting rut, but the detailed instructions for piecing and the mix of block patterns gave me exactly the fresh direction I needed. The hand embroidery and embellishment stitches add a lovely texture that I haven’t tried before.
