Back Cover Information

Discover a fresh approach to quiltmaking inspired by the style and grace of stained glass windows. "Framing" your quilt with leading lines creates an interesting, often surprising new view of your fabrics, drawing the eye in and giving greater attention to your focus fabric. It's the perfect opportunity to dip into your stash and use a variety of fabrics: scenic prints, batiks, florals and even fabrics printed with photographs!

The projects in this book feature a terrific technique that makes their construction almost too easy to be real! Fusible web is the secret ingredient that sets this approach apart from the other labor-intensive methods, allowing you to achieve stunning results in a short period of time.

Susan Purney Mark & Daphne GreigMeet the Authors

We began working together when we met over the cutting table of our local quilt shop, more than twelve ago. We formed our company, Patchworks Studio, and began designing and publishing patterns together shortly afterward and have been creating our Too Easy Stained Glass patterns since 2003. We teach the technique all across North America to excited quiltmakers who loudly exclaim, "It's too easy!" This book was, for us, a natural evolution. It gives us the opportunity to explore design and fabric options in detail. We love bringing a variety of designs and techniques into print in books, patterns and magazines and have a great many ideas stored up for future publication.

We live in Victoria, British Columbia, where we love to garden, walk and explore our beautiful native land. We also spend part of each year traveling and teaching. Please sent us pictures of your Too Easy Stained Glass projects. We'd love to hear from you!
