“20 Sew Speedy Projects”

Quilt Therapy Posted on by

I received word this past week that I had not one, not two but THREE quilt projects featured in The Quilt Pattern Magazine’s special issue of 20 Sew Speedy Projects that was just published this past week!

"20 Sew Speedy Projects" Special Edition from "The Quilt Pattern Magazine"

One of those projects is even featured on the cover of this special edition. Can you guess which one is mine? <3 Nothing feels better than to know that your quilty projects and patterns were chosen amongst dozens of others for a special edition of a quilt magazine! Especially knowing that I always try to write my patterns for beginners – which really and truly makes them ‘speedy’ for everyone.

Be it ever so humble, I am very grateful! Don’t miss out! Get yourself over to The Quilt Pattern Magazine’s special issue of 20 Sew Speedy Projects page, order and then immediately download your copy today!
