Order my book Turnabout Patchwork

“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks – making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops.

  1. Thought you should know that I pre ordered your new book and it arrived! I’ve looked through it and I’ve found several patterns to use this year! Your book and 2 others will be used all year. Thank you so much for a well written, fun book!

  3. Hi Gail, thank you for buying my book. Check with the shop you bought it from first. They should be able to tell you about the status of your order.

  4. Hi Teresa:  I was able to get a refund from Book Depository.  Sure sorry, this did not work out.  Was so looking forward.   They were very professional returning refund.  I believe it happened all in the same day. within hours of my request!!!.  Wonderful company.   I lost my discount, however, lol.  I will try to find your bookt in a local quilt store first.  Oh, has your book been distributed to stores for sale? Thanks for sharing the various tutorials of you projects , all very pretty.  …… Emma

  5. Hi Emma

    Try your local quilt store. I don’t know which stores carry it but the publisher said that at the last quilt market in Houston they got a lot of interest from shops.

    Good luck in your search 😊

  6. Love love you videos. Sometimes it is just what I need to jumpstart my mojo. Thanks Just printed the scrappy wedding ring template and I am ready to go make some blocks now. I feel so much better than I did an hour ago when just blah overtook me. I cant wait to make some blocks and turn them into a new spring tote!
