The Dream, by Gyleen X. Fitzgerald
Aunt Hattie's quilt shop is full of gray calico fabric, and for Hanna that just won't do. Fortunately, the Good Fairy Gadget steps in and sets Hanna and her dog Bobbin on the Fabric Road to inspiration. Join Hanna and Bobbin on this quest and you may just find yourself quilting your own Dream.
"The artistry of the quilting will enthrall the reader; the clear instructions to create one's own quilt will turn an attentive child into an artist." -- Kathleen Feeley, SSND, College of Notre Dame of Maryland.
"The sense of adventure and the exciting pictures are sure to delight every child who reads it... and the child within many adult quilters as well." -- Jean Ann Wright, Senior Editor, QUILT Magazine

Patterns
Central to success as a quilter is the willingness to jump right into a project.
With that in mind, she has designed a series of simplistic yet stylish
quilt patterns that lend themselves to using fabric you have on hand or "Fat
Quarters". It really isn't necessary to develop a precise plan or spend
two weeks choosing the "perfect" fabric.
Go ahead, indulge yourself, and have a serious quilt attack. Grab some fabric
(any fabric as long as YOU like it), pick a pattern and start.
Gyleen's motto is: "Live on the edge, you'll love it".
