Learn to Quilt in Just a Few Easy Steps
From the time I was a little girl, anytime I was at my grandparent's house, there was always one place you could always find me: on a stool, next to my grandma, in her sewing room. It was over those years of spending time with her that I learned about color, patterns, fabric, tools, stitches, and everything in between.
Quilting was an entirely different world we would get lost in together. It was like falling down the rabbit hole into a world of closets full of fabric, scissors snipping, shapes, and colors bursting everywhere, tabletops covered with quilt patterns, and needles flying through quilt sandwiches. She gave me the gift of quilting, maybe even the magic of quilting.
Not only is quilting the perfect combination of skill, art, storytelling, function, and beauty, It also has a long deep history rooted in places all over the world.
Quilting is art with roots tracing back to the Stone Age cave peoples of Mongolia, and Ancient Egypt; one of the earliest artifacts representing quilting as we know it today is an ivory figure dating to 3400 BC found in an Egyptian tomb which is wearing a quilted jacket (The Ivory King, located in the Temple of Osiris, part of the collections at the British Museum).
I wrote this guide for those who want to learn the basics of Quilting without getting into too many technical jargons. I know when learning a new craft, it is best to learn to create a base platform first and then build on it. That is how I was taught.
I designed the guide in a very easy to follow step by step fashion where I shared many images that you can see and follow the instructions I provided in the book.
If you follow what I shared here, I am confident in less than a week you will be able to create some of your quilts that you will be proud of.
If you want to see what I covered inside this book, feel free to look through the Table of Content before buying the book.
Good luck and welcome to the wonderful world of Quilting.
