rollover to see inside... 1 2 3 4 5

A jelly roll is a roll of pre-cut fabric strips, manufactured and marketed through United Notion's hugely popular Moda division. United Notions are the largest supplier and distributor of quilting fabrics, pattern books and other products associated with quilting. The fabric strips in a jelly roll are a standard width and length (21/2 x 44in) and there are usually 40 strips a roll, enabling quick and easy piecing for craft projects. All of the quilts in the book can be made using a single jelly roll, through extra fabric is needed for the edging and backing fabric.

This book contains information on materials and equipment, as well as basic stitching techniques, layering and basting, quilting (by hand and machine), binding, labelling and laundering. There's even a section on cutting your own strips for those who prefer to use their own fabric choices rather than a pre-cut jelly roll.

Each of the nine projects consist of a different quilt design, together with a gift item made in a coordinating fabric, including stylish bags, a cushion, pot holders and key fobs. Full instructions for each quilt are provided, together with step-by-step photographs for the accompanying gift. Stunning photography throughout and clear, step-by-step instructions make this an ideal beginner's book.

Quilting On The Go

rollover to see inside... 1 2 3 4 5

• Haven’t got the time, space or agility to baste and quilt a full size quilt?

• Want to quilt a bed size quilt, but don’t relish the prospect of handling acres of quilt?

• Want to have piecing and quilting on the go at the same time, so you can pick and choose, but don’t want to work on multiple projects?

• Don’t feel you can cope with the size and bulk of machine quilting a big project, yet you fancy having a go at machine quilting?

• A full size quilt is too big to take with you but there are slots of found time where you could quilt?

• Want quilting that you can carry with you?

Quilting on the go is a technique I developed over my many years of quilting to enable me to take my patchwork and quilting passion wherever I go. It flexibly fits quilting into a busy schedule even while ‘on the go’ travelling, or going about your daily jobs such as the school run etc.

Now with the aid of my book Quilting-on-the-Go you can learn the techniques whether you are experienced quilter or a complete beginner.
