Savor Each Stitch

Savor Each Stitch is a design-focused look at quilting with eight different projects that explore the techniques and tools that I use in my own quilt making. As a quilter with a design-school training, it’s what I think about when I think about making quilts, from start to finish. My goal in writing this book was to equip the reader with the skills to make the quilts that they want to make and that will express who they are, while also providing plenty of inspiring projects.

Each project is created in multiple versions to invite surprisingly different results, based on playing with these same design principles. Along the way the projects teach a variety of techniques such as hand quilting, appliqué, paper piecing, and even a new twist on crazy quilting
