Just Two Charm Pack Quilts Book!!

I have some exciting news today....I get to officially announce my new book, Just Two Charm Pack Quilts!!  The book will be published by Stash Publications in late May (tentative date of May 25th) and I have a bunch of fun ways to celebrate.

Do you find yourself accumulating charm packs in your sewing room? If you're anything like me, you probably have a pile of these adorable little packs aging like fine wine on your shelves.  I know I have a ton despite already having written two books about them! Charm packs are a fun and convenient way to get a sample of each fabric from a designer's latest collection, and it's hard to resist impulse-buying them when browsing for fabric.

My first book, Just One Charm Pack Quilts, was all about using a single charm pack, along with additional and background fabrics, to create a beautiful quilt. This book has been a hit with quilters who loved the playful and joyful quilts it showcased. The quilts in the first book tend to be on the smaller side, making them perfect for babies, kids, table toppers, or smaller lap quilts.

As quilters began requesting larger quilts, I realized it was time for a new book - and thus, Just Two Charm Pack Quilts was born! Each of the 16 patterns in this book uses two charm packs, along with an additional and background fabric, to create a large throw-sized quilt. I am thrilled to share these designs with you and can't wait for you to try them out for yourself!

If you have a stash of charm packs and are looking for inspiration for larger quilts, Just Two Charm Pack Quilts may be just what you need. With its variety of patterns, you're sure to find a design that speaks to you and brings your charm packs to life in a whole new way. Happy quilting!

TWO COLORWAYS

Just like in the first book, Just Two Charm Pack Quilts features 16 patterns, each using two distinct colorways. I find it useful to see a quilt in different colorways when considering what fabrics to use in a design. This way, I can visualize the quilt in various color schemes and choose the one that best suits my taste and style.
