Words from Monica:
'This book is a celebration of my years as a quilt maker, teacher, pattern designer and now YouTube content creator with my daughter.
It’s a colourful tips and techniques book designed to be your go-to when quilt as you go quilt making.
It includes 5 small projects that you can use to practice each of the different joining methods and a gallery of my work to exemplify the use of the techniques in larger quilts.'
(Please note that the patterns for the quilts in the gallery are not in the book; they are there for inspiration.)
