      Foreword

      This book has been written during a global pandemic, with England in national lockdown for the duration of all the production stages. With the whole family home and society closed, it’s presented many challenges. But what better a way to spend lockdown than being absorbed in quilting and writing, my two favorite pastimes? Enjoy.

      Introduction

      I’m so excited that you’ve decided to start your patchwork and quilting journey with me. Even if you’ve purchased this book because you have just a fleeting interest in what quilting is all about, I can promise that by the end of it, you’ll be totally addicted. There really is something so alluring about sewing with beautiful fabrics and rich, bright-colored threads, and ultimately creating handmade pieces that you can call your own. They might not be perfect—your points might not match and your stitching might not be quite straight—but remember, that’s all part of the learning journey. With each project you make, you’ll learn new skills, improve on the ones you’ve already learned, and gain in confidence with every step. Most of all though, I hope you’ll find joy in the process and if you’re anything like me, it will turn into a lifelong passion.

      In this book I aim to simplify every step of the patchwork process. Through diagrams and photos, terminology and top tips, I’m imparting all you need to know to get quilting confidently. I’m so excited to open up the world of quilting to you!

      But before we start, it’s important to clarify, what exactly is a quilt?

      What Is a Quilt?

      A quilt is made up of three layers. The quilt top, which is usually patchwork, the quilt back, which is usually a whole cloth piece or larger pieces of patchwork, and the filling, known as batting or wadding. It is these three elements that make it a quilt, and they are held together with the quilting. Quilting is the term that describes the stitches that hold the three layers
