I am bursting with pride. The coloring book of quilts that I’ve been working on for 6 months has gone to the printer and will be available after May 1! The book is called Quilts: Color by Number. I designed the book, with 12 quilts, to show children that quilts look different when the same pattern is used with different colors. Identical patterns are depicted on facing pages numbered differently. There are blanks, which can and should be photocopied, so that the child can experiment with his/her own creativity.
Hopefully, the child will want to sew one or more of the quilts. There will be a CD of all the patterns in the coloring book plus basic construction information. Individual patterns and kits will also be available. The pieces are large enough for little fingers to handle and patterns are simple so the child can satisfactorily complete the quilt (with your help). I have made this collection of book, CD, and quilt kit “a la carte” to be cost friendly to you, my customer.
My intention is to bring color and sewing to children. I also see this as a means of bringing generations close together with a common thread—the joy of quilting. We are accepting pre-orders now, scheduled shipping in early May, click here. I urge you to join in the fun. You can purchase several books with only one shipping charge. Please tell your local quilt shops about this book which is available to them wholesale by ordering from Heartbeat Quilts or from their local distributor. Several teachers have expressed an interest in having the books for their students, so please ask about teacher discounts!
You are the first to get this information! The coloring book for adults is in the works already. Thank you for your support.
