I wrote this book for the beginner quilter who has just fallen down a rabbit's hole. I wrote it for the seasoned quilter who needs a little fresh inspiration or a look into other ways of making. I wrote it for the quilter who just wants to look at yummy photos and hear a bit of rambling from a fellow quilt maker. I wrote it for my grandma whose well used hands would pet her quilts and tell me where the fabric came from. I wrote it for us, I wrote it for YOU.
- A soft cover wire bound book will be mailed to you.
- Patterns are all beginner friendly and play with color combinations.
- Skills that are required are straight line sewing, making flying geese and snowballing. THAT'S ALL!
- Some of the quilts are quite quick and some may take a bit longer.
- My favorite part of this book is that it comes with FIVE quilt patterns (no side projects, just quilts!).
- Smallest pattern is 60x60", largest pattern is 76x96".
- Patterns included are Mariposa, Lulu Louise, Sassy Granny, Hello Posy and Attic Window.
- All patterns are illustrated. If you like the look of my usual patterns, the book patterns are just like them. Very easy to understand and read!
- There are 64 pages in the book.
- All patterns are fat quarter friendly, except one.
- I've tucked methods, memories and ramblings within these pages.
- I will be running quilt alongs for each of these patterns in 2022.

A Life With Quilts
I purchased the book specifically for the Posey quilt, but after looking at the book, I do plan to work on a couple other of the quilts. I purchased my fabric from Melanie and love using it with the Posey quilt.

I've been a fan of Melanie's for years. Her and her quilts were what inspired me to want to learn quilting. I love the book and can't wait to start on the patterns! Thank you for sharing your talent and your love for quilting. You are a true inspiration!

Love this quilt book! Beautiful quilts and a fun read. The spiral binding was a nice touch. Wish all my quilts books were bound this way.

A Life with Quilts
I absolutely love this book. I love how Melanie's fabrics are put together so beautifully. Her patterns are easy to follow. I started many quilts and never finished a quilt top until I purchased her La La Fancy pattern. I was so excited I couldn't wait to finish the top!

Fabulous book
I love this book. It has five gorgeous quilt patterns with lots of helpful tips and tricks! There's great information about piecing a back that I haven't seen in any other pattern before.
