BERNE, Ind. -- Annie's, a leader in the craft and nostalgia markets, has released a new quilting book, Nine Patch Panache™.

On June 4, DRG's family of brands was consolidated under the company's new publishing name, Annie's. Moving forward, all pattern books will carry the Annie's name and logo. Nine Patch Panache will be available from Annie's through the Clotilde catalog, available online at Clotilde.com.

The book features more than 40 nine-patch quilt projects, including contemporary, traditional and modern styles in patterns for beginner through advanced quilters. Projects vary in size, including wall and lap quilts, table toppers and full-size bed quilts.

Carolyn Vagts is the editor. She has more than 10 years of quilting experience, and her resume includes freelance designer, quilt store owner, writer and quilt-pattern proofer. In the spring of 2011, Vagts was named editor of Annie's Quilter's World magazine and the company's entire line of quilting publications.

Annie's publishes special-interest magazines, hardcover and softcover books, pattern booklets and related products sold direct to consumers through catalogs and the Internet and through wholesale and trade channels.

Quilters and needlecrafters can access additional Annie's publications from the company catalog website at AnniesCatalog.com.
