Win on Pat Sloan’s book tour!

I’ve met the wonderful Pat Sloan many times and love working with her. She is so full of energy and ideas and no-one is too unimportant for her to stop and chat with in the aisles or online.

Her community is massive and she reaches out and brings quilters together across the world so that they may all share her passion.

I have done two radio shows with Pat – albeit quite early in the morning (to get the across the other side of the world timings right) but chatting with her over the airwaves is like sitting with your long lost friend and having a friendly banter.

You can listen to our last chat here:

Now the reason I mention this is because reading Pat’s latest book is just like chatting with her in person.. genuine, easy to understand, talks the ‘normal’ talk that quilters of all levels, background, culture and style will relate to and understand.

This is a beginner based book – but even I reaffirmed a few things.. She says

‘This is my 33^rd book in 16 years, and the 3^rd in my ‘Pat Sloan’s Teach Me to’ series. I wrote the book to step a quilter through the basics of quilting their own quilts. It’s for the person who has never machine quilted to someone that does it rarely or only does super simple like quilt in the ditch.

I first show them walking foot techniques, then free motion. It’s filled with photo step outs and tips.’ 

and…there’s even links to videos if you’re a watch and learn person.

Now there’s not just step by step instructions

and loads of information on threads, needles, battings, techniques and more ……

there are also projects…

pieced and appliqued
