The Simple Simon Guide to Patchwork Quilting is a beginner guide to falling in love with quilting and sewing, featuring eight traditional blocks, their history, how-to make and how to use each block in quilts and quilt projects.|Two girls. Same name. One mission. Teach the world to sew. Liz and Elizabeth Evans two former teachers who married brothers challenged themselves to make 30 projects in 30 days and blog about it. The resulting Simple Simon sewing community is where thousands go to get their creative fix. In The Simple Simon Guide to Patchwork Quilting, they invite the world to share in their joy of quilting and sewing. Their first book features eight different traditional quilt blocks beginning with the easiest (the 9 patch) and then moves into more intermediate blocks like Log Cabins and Dresden Plates. Each chapter shows how to sew the block, shares a bit of block history, and then provides three achievable projects using that block (at least one quilt in each chapter). More than just a how-to book, The Simple Simon Guide to Patchwork Quilting captures its authors' infectious charm, delightfully reminding us what a heart-warming hobby sewing can be.
