Quilt & embellishment books

Easy to make, easy to send, easy to hang and easy to treasure, Quilt-O-Grams are the perfect little gift to give. The projects in Quilt-O-Grams by Cheryl Malkowski are divided into two categories: simple which can be completed in an afternoon or less, and more complex constructed from multiple fabrics that will take a weekend, more or less, to finish.

Author Cheryl MalkowskiAbout the Author

Cheryl Malkowski lives in Roseburg, Oregon, with her husband, Tom and their dog, Bosco. She has two grown children and one grandchild, who is her favorite little boy.

This is her third book with C&T and she likes writing almost as much as teaching. She loves everything about the quilting process, especially the actual quilting, whether on a domestic machine or a longarm. Her quilting has been displayed at may shows, including the American Quilter's Society show in Paducah, Kentucky. Cheryl was a featured guest on The Quilt Show in the inaugural season.
