Back Cover Information

In a burst of creativity, these nationally known quilt designers challenged each other to make eight quilts using specific design and color guidelines. Because each designer brings a unique style, the results are spectacularly different—in fact, all three quilts on the front cover are from the dame challenge block!

  • Get a rare glimpse of the authors' creativity in progress.
  • Gather inspiration from gorgeous photos - each challenge includes quilts by the authors and guest designers.
  • Find block instructions as well as the authors' favorite techniques, tools and tips.

Bring your favorite colors and learn to design!

Pamela Mostek Sharyn Craig
About the Authors

Pam's quilts can often be recognized by their blended colors and big bold prints. For her, it's all about the fabric! It's know wonder "fabric designer" is one of the hats she wears in the quilting industry. She is also the owner and designer for her own publishing company, Making Lemonade Designs, and the author of a number of other quilting books and magazine articles. She is also a nationally recognized teacher in the quilting world. She loves creating art quilts, many of which have been included in national shows and exhibits.

Pam lives in Cheney, Washington, with her husband, Bob. She spends any spare time enjoying her four grandchildren and playing in her garden.

For Sharyn, it's the "what if?" phrase that motivates her as a quiltmaker. She loves playing with blocks and color, with problem solving and innovative settings being her forte. Her love of quilting is definitely matched by the need to share that knowledge with other quilters, which she's been able to do as a national and international teacher since the early 1980s.

Sharyn has authored a number of books and magazine articles. In 1985 The Professional Quilter magazine named her their first Quilt Teacher of the Year. In 2004 she was named as one of the top 24 finalists for the All American Quilters award sponsored by the American Quilters Society.

Sharyn lives in El Cajon, California, with her husband, George. She loves being a wife, mother and grandmother.
