Introduction

Get that collection of fabrics off the shelf, out of the boxes, and into the mix! Claudia E. Plett's eight easy quilt patterns are the perfect recipes for turning your scraps, fat quarters and what-was-I-thinking yardage into quilts that are warm and inviting—just like a meal at Granny's house. Fast piecing techniques will have you serving up satisfying quilts in a hurry. But be forewarned: Getting quick results like these may be habit-forming!

Meet the Designer

"Always Have A Quilt In The Hoop."

This agreeable exhortation is the tagline of Claudia E. Plett's entertaining internet newsletter. Claudia sponsors an internet quilters' forum, writes a funny and informative feature on quilting and somehow finds the time to cook up new quilt patterns.

So, when you meet the multitalented Oklahoma resident, what's the first thing she'll tell you about herself?

"I have five wonderful grandchildren! Three of them live next door to me, so you know how I spend my days."

She started off making dolls, then changed to quilting. Pretty soon after that, the rotary cutter was invented; then everyone was making quilts. I am amazed to think of the time I used to spend cutting out each fabric piece with scissors.

And we're amazed at the wealth of quilting knowledge that Claudia has gathered along the way. If you'd like to spend some time visiting with Claudia and other quilters who love their craft, :stop in" at Claudia's quilting forum. You will find the link at www.claudiaquiltshoppe.com. You will also find more of Claudia's user-friendly quilt patterns and the hilarious "Ask Granny" feature that's written by Claudia's alter-ego. It's a treat you really must give yourself.
