Melissa Nayler is an avid quilter and sewist, and has been sewing seriously since her teens. For several years and in her spare time, she worked on mainly dressmaking projects, until her move to Bude in Cornwall, UK, changed her direction in sewing. Melissa discovered patchwork and quilting while volunteering at the local Citizens Advice Bureau, and became hooked before she'd even sewn a stitch. She has been an active member of a quilt and patchwork group for over 25 years.
When Melissa retired in 2014, she contacted Debbie Shore to offer her sewing skills for making samples for her TV shows. Over the past 10 years Debbie and Melissa developed a great friendship, and Melissa and Debbie have collaborated on several quilting projects, including the Block of the Month Quilts on Debbie's award-winning Half Yard Sewing Club.
- An inspiring variety of quilting techniques - from simple machine piecing and appliqu? to foundation paper piecing, every block explores a different patchwork and/or quilting method.
- Simple instructions, perfect for beginners - each unique block is accompanied by easy-to-follow instructions, clear photography and full-size templates.
- All the patchwork and quilting techniques needed - from piecing your initial shapes right through to binding your finished quilt.
- Matching, bonus projects - if you're looking to make items to match your quilt, Debbie has shared ideas on how to transform individual blocks into homewares and accessories, including pillows, pouches and placemats.
