Alicia's Attic

Our latest book, “Not Your Grandmother’s Log Cabin” by Sara Nephew with Marci Baker, includes a great set of designs and we want you to know about them. Sara may have retired from the labor intensive parts of being a self-published author, but she is by no means retired from designing. Her eye for color, value, and design comes through in these 34 beautiful creations. Everything from quilts with one block overall to more intricate patterns with up to 7 different blocks provides something for everyone.

While editing the patterns, I found myself wanting to make several of the quilts and have completed two and started three more. I’ve included several features that many of you have come to expect in Alicia’s Attic books and added some new concepts to make your quilting even more frustration-free. Included are color-coded layouts, actual size shapes for comparison, trouble-shooting for seams, and pressing directions for easy piecing.  These ideas are just one part of our vision, “The Clearview of Quilting – frustration-free quilting methods, the simplest quilting solutions, and guaranteed success.” If you want an even easier, faster, more successful sewing experience – we have solutions for you!
