The virtual book tour for Not-Your-Typical Jelly Roll Quilts is well underway, and I’d love to tell you about the participants who posted about the book so far. Be sure to check them out—many are hosting giveaways for the ebook version!
Amy Friend / During Quiet Time
Amy Friend has been blogging and designing projects under the During Quiet Time name longer than I’ve been quilting. In her latest blog post, Amy reviews Not-Your-Typical Jelly Roll Quilts and, in the process, says what I think may be the best possible compliment: “My favorite thing about [the book] is that the designs are very creative and do not have the look that we think of when we hear the words ‘jelly roll quilts.’”
Lilo Whitener-Fey / Trace Creek Quilting
Lilo Whitener-Fey is the face of Trace Creek Quilting. Based in St. Louis, she and her team of longarmers quilt projects for people all across the United States. When I finished my second version of Pixelated Herringbone, I knew I wanted Lilo to give it an edge-to-edge panto treatment. There’s a peek of the quilt below. (I’ll devote an entire blog post to this project once it’s bound!)
Becca Fenstermaker / Sugar Sand Quilt Co.
Becca Fenstermaker is a quilter and teacher in southern New Jersey. She fell in love with Myriad, a pattern from the book that uses strip sets to make half-hexagons and incorporates them in a bold star design. If you’re local to Becca, you can make a Myriad quilt with her in the class she’s teaching at Block Party Quilts, in Medford, NJ, on June 26 and July 10!
Read the post and learn more about the class!
Yvonne Fuchs / Quilting Jetgirl
I suspect all regular readers of From Bolt to Beauty know Yvonne Fuchs and her work. What I love about Yvonne (aside from how sweet and encouraging she is!) is how different her projects are from mine. In her latest blog post, Yvonne shares her version of Tag Sale Floral in a palette that my brain could never curate. It. Is. Amazing!
Lynn Woll / Create Whimsy
Lynn Woll, the artistic brain behind Create Whimsy, strives to bring creators and makers together and share their stories. I am honored to be one of those stories! Visit Create Whimsy to hear about how I started quilting, where I find inspiration, and what I hope readers take from Not-Your-Typical Jelly Roll Quilts.
