I love stained glass too and always wanted to dabble in glass, however, this craft was not portable and traveling around with glass would be a dangerous adventure. How do you combine a love for quilting and marry it with stained glass? Stained Glass Quilting! In this book I go over pattern selection, fabric choices, and the steps to make your very own sample from the patterns included in this book. I have made dozens of these quilts.

I hope you will enjoy the lessons in this book and be inspired to make a masterpiece of your own! As I always say, "Never master the mundane". A stained glass quilt is never mundane!
