My Quilts!

The Whizz Bang Book!
'Whizz Bang' has all the tricks and tips for making the captivating folded fabric mandala circles that feature in my quilts. It was made with all my heart and passion for wanting to share and excite other people about these wonderful fascinating blocks and quilts.
The first half of the book focuses on techniques and has step by step instructions for making the circles in different ways, finishing them as perfect circles, embellishments, Yo-Yos, quilting and more, while the second half has 15 projects from easy wall hangings to quilts in all types of styles to show how wonderfully versatile the blocks are.
The publisher, Quiltmania is well known for their quality books and magazines, the text is in French and English but I find that it's easy to quickly fall into reading your language of choice.
'Whizz Bang' is jam-packed with amazing detail photos as well as beautiful photos of the quilts, so much so that I often get compliments saying that it makes a great coffee table book, and I have many people tell me they also love the book for the fun fabric combinations and colour inspiration. I'll let the photos do the talking, they say picture are worth 100 words.. scroll down to see some of the quilts.

The idea was to have a kangaroo posing in front on the quilt but it wouldn't turn around. I guess it liked the quilt.
