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.)

How do I order this book please?
Hi I have also ordered a hard copy and have not yet received an email confirmation. Can you please check and let me know. Thanks
Can you make sure my name is on the pre order page for the spiral bound book! Joann Watson Lofton
A similar question for you Monica. I pre-ordered my book (I think) and not sure I received acknowledgment. I hope I am on the list. When you have time an email would be good otherwise I will need to re-order. The book looks wonderful and is a credit to all your hard work.
I have asked to be included in your mailing list several times but never received any updates. I also preordered a hard copy of the new book but have not had any acknowledgement. I have met Monica and admire her work, so it's disappointing that your website thinks I'm invisible. Can you please check and get back to me. With thanks, Helen Yates
