Reviews

Miriam's experience as a Young Quilter's Representative certainly shows in the projects she has created for this book. The techniques are illustrated with excellent photographs, the colour is good throughout the book and there is a range of easy projects for younger to older children such as various bags and a cat wall hanging, all made with exciting fabrics. Bright, fun and definitely achievable, I loved this book and would certainly buy it for my grandchildren.-Fabrications

Author Bio

Miriam Edwards comes from a long line of dressmakers and tailors. Her mother taught her to make clothes for her dolls and then for herself, and alter she did the same for her own children. Miriam discovered patchwork when she went to the National Parchwork Championships with friends in 1992. She was enthralled by what she saw and came home weighed down with fabrics. She soon started attending classes and made her first quilt in 1993. In 2001 she became a Young Quilter's Representative, and she now holds regular children's workshops. Her patterns have been published in Patchwork and Quilting and Fabrications magazines.
