OngoingEasy Appliqué Blocks: 50 Designs in 5 Sizes
My book of easy appliqué block designs from That Patchwork Place is now available!

I'm so proud of this gorgeous book, which features a library of easy-to-sew blocks in thumbnail format. Flip through the book, choose your design, then stick the companion CD into your computer and print it out in any one of five sizes. Plus, we give reversed versions! How cool is that! No more figuring percentages or trips to the copy shop. There are also detailed, illustrated instructions for hand and machine appliqué.

Visit my All About Appliqué blog if you'd like to read about the book proposal process from an author's point of view. Click on the category "A journey to a book."

Also, check out the Easy Appliqué Blocks Blog Book-A-Round. We made stops from Georgia up the East Coast, across Canada and north to Alaska, down the West Coast, and ended our tour in the Heartland. But, no plane tickets, no driving to the airport, going through security, rental cars. or continental breakfasts for our tour! The power of the blog!

During our whirlwind 10-day tour, we dropped in for a visit with 10 fabulous quilting bloggers. Each presented a little something different about Easy Appliqué Blocks: 50 Designs in 5 Sizes.

You can still go on the tour! Go to All About Appliqué and click on the category 'Book-A-Round.' Believe me, you'll be so glad you dropped in on all of these fabulous quilt designers! I'm privileged to have each one of them on my tour.
