Quick & Easy Quilts for Kids features 12 projects designed in sizes to fit cribs and children's beds using themed fabrics, such as animals, race cars, bugs and colorful shapes.
Each quilt is easy to create and can be completed in a day. Patterns include step-by-step instructions, color photos, and drawings to guide quilters through each technique, along with general finishing instructions.
The book is available in specialty stores and on the Web at Clotilde.com.
Connie Ewbank is the designer. For 12 years, she owned her own quilt shop and taught quilting classes. From there, she began publishing her own designs in pattern and book form. Today, she teaches quilting classes across the country and as far away as Monterrey, Mexico, as a circuit teacher for the Gulf States Quilting Association.
Carolyn Vagts is the editor of Quick & Easy Quilts for Kids. She has more than 10 years of quilting experience, and her resume includes freelance designer, quilt store owner, writer and quilt-pattern proofer. Her freelance designs have been included in a number of magazines.
In the spring of 2011, Vagts was named editor of DRG's Quilter's World magazine, at QuiltersWorld.com. Her personal patterns are available through her store, The Village Quilt Shoppe, located in Lake Orion, Mich., and through DRG's Clotilde catalog.
