About the Author

After making her first quilt in the late 1970s, Bonnie has been an avid quiltmaker. She has been teaching since the mid 1980s and was certified as a quilt judge in 1986. She judges and teaches for quilt guilds and conferences around the world. Her goal is to teach students techniques that they can use in future projects, and to enjoy the process.

page layoutBonnie keeps busy as the executive show director of quit shows for the American Quilter's Society, and as a technical consultant for the AQS American Quilts television series. She has appeared on HGTV's Simply Quilts, PBS's Sew Young, Sew Fun, and the HGTV special, Quilts, Secrets Hidden in Fabric. She has authored nine books, published by AQS.

Bonnie lives in Paducah, Kentucky, with her husband, Wayne, and two spoiled cat, White Socks and Tuffy.

Back Cover Information

A variety of designs and techniques take your quilt from ordinary to prizewinner!

  • No math, no measuring. An easy paper-folding technique makes your pieced, appliquéd, or quilted borders fit your quilt perfectly! Use the "calculators" for cutting butted and mitered borders and try a clever marking method for perfect mitered corners every time!
  • 18 border patterns in an assortment of designs are a worthy sequel to the first Borders & Finishing Touches book. Novelty bindings, scalloped edges, and continuous Prairie Points will help make a grand finale for your quilt.
  • Over 175 how-to photographs provide a valuable reference for every level of quilter. Contains step-by-step illustrations that walk you through ever detail of many different types of borders and finishing touches.
  • Windmill-Twist Log Cabin. Enjoy the full-size quilt pattern for this popular quilt design, originally seen on HGTV's Simply Quilts
