The Reading Warehouse

Discover the joy and serenity of slow stitching with hand piecing and hand quilting With one quilt made up of 21 blocks, master teacher Carolyn Forster takes readers on a quilt making journey that begins with the basics and progresses to more intricate techniques with each new block. Providing templates for every design and step-by-step instructions and photographs, thoroughly practice hand stitching and hand quilting blocks, from stitching set-in seams to stitching curves. The Handmade Quilt provides both a complete learning experience for new quilters and a stunning project for experienced stitchers. You'll be amazed by the finished project; an heirloom-quality quilt that's a beautiful sampler of stash-busting blocks

Her books, Quilting-on-the-Go, Utility Quilting, and Quilting-on-the-Go Taking It Further, help make patchwork and quilting easy and accessible to quilters of all skill levels.
