The author of Sunday Morning Quilts gathers some of today's most popular quilters to take on challenging projects inspired friends and family members.
The idea for your next quilt could come from anywhere-whether it's a suggestion from your spouse or something you saw out your window. In You Inspire Me to Quilt, Cheryl Arkison demonstrates how you can turn inspiration from your daily life-such as a love of hockey or the joy of a bacon sandwich-into a creative challenge that results in new, beautiful and personally meaningful quilts.
Taking inspiration from their own lives, Arkison and some of her most popular quilt blogger friends share ten complete quilt patterns, plus advice and wisdom on the art of quiltmaking. See how ideas from people, places, and things become original design concepts. Includes compelling designs from Jen Carlton-Bailly, Cynthia Frenette, Carolyn Friedlander, Andrea Harris, Rossie Hutchinson, Heather Jones, Amanda Jean Nyberg, and Blair Stocker
