Where did the idea for your book Mini Masterpieces come from?
Some quilters are known for their Foundation Paper Piecing or for their love of triangles or curves. Some quilters, like me, just like a bit of everything! So when it came to narrowing down the concept for my book, I wanted to be able to include a wide variety of quilting techniques and tips that I love to play with in my own quilting. These combined to create the beginner-friendly book thatis Mini Masterpieces.
As for the specific book concept of having a sampler quilt block and a mini quilt for each of the 12 techniques, the inspiration came from both my love of sampler quilts and also that fun, bite-sized accomplishment that comes from making a quilt block. I like to describe Mini Masterpieces as me in a book… teaching, creativity and sampler quilt blocks loaded with quilting tips and tricks, all to encourage you
