If you've ever thought about starting a quilting career out of your hobby, then you've gotta read this book. You'll learn things shortcuts will help you and what the pitfalls are and how to avoid them. I would consider this book worth many days of talking to the experts. It's industry research all in one place and lots of resources to boot!

I have just completed the quilt pattern - Contra Dance. I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed making this quilt and that the instructions were clear enough even for a beginner like me. I intend to purchase more of your patterns and know that I will enjoy them just as much.  Thanks for the designs that look like an expert did them but are for 'newbies' like me.
