Quilt Book Progress

Our ISBN has arrived! The Four Twin Sisters quilt book is officially under way. The book will be full color, 40 pages long, featuring photos of finished quilts and other projects made using Four Twin Sisters quilt patterns. We have already received several entries from people who have used our patterns to make quilt projects. We will be accepting photos for consideration in our book until August 31, 2007.

If you have made a quilt top, table runner, or any other project using our quilt patterns, and you would like us to consider your photo for our book, you may email us a photo of your finished project for review.
