Kathy was a treat to talk to at Quilt Market (Houston 2008) and her patterns are wonderful! She has both wearable art patterns and quilt patterns. Here is her reversible vest:

Fuse It and Be Done!

Fuse It and Be Done! (co-authored by Barbara Campbell & Yolanda Fundora) is a primer to de-mystify the wonderful and intriguing world of fusibles for quilters, crafters, scrapbookers and all paper and fiber artists.

They fused in every way and on anything they could think of with all the fusible products and embellishments they could get their hands on and they want very much to show you how to do it too.

Available from the authors or Krause Publications.

Bohemian Boquet

Flora and fauna frolic across the surface of this 48″ square appliqué quilt by Susan Brubaker Knapp of Blue Moon River. Rich jewel-tone applique pops off the black background.


Susan used needleturn appliqué, but this pattern can be done using fusible web and satin stitching, too.

This makes a great block-of-the-month project, since there are 11 blocks (two patterns have the design flipped in the second version of the block).

Individual patterns retail for $5 plus shipping, and a set of all 11 patterns retails for $55 plus shipping. All are available on Susan’s website, www.bluemoonriver.com.

Wholesale inquiries are welcome. Detailed kitting instructions are available, and are free to quilt shops purchasing at least 12 sets of patterns.
