Description: You don't have to be an artist, draftsman, or expert quilter to use and enjoy Helen Squire's newest offering in her Dear Helen quilting design series. This carefully planned edition can be used as a pattern book with more than 80 lovely and versatile patterns in soft curves, strong lines, and flowing florals for blocks, borders, and corners. Some designs are for hand quilting while others are for machine.

For those a bit more adventurous, follow Helen's hints and design your own quilting patterns. You can adapt your new designs to continuous line for machine quilting. You will find that small changes can make a big difference in a design. Take a basic unit, such as a shape or curved line, and move it to produce several professional-looking patterns in minutes. With these easily acquired new skills, you can experience the pride of accomplishment as both the maker of a quilt and the designer of the quilting pattern.

As a bonus, Create with Helen Squire also contains medallion designs for whole-cloth quilts, a medley of 5" floral block patterns, marking advice for using silhouette stencils, quilting grids to combine with the other patterns, and a pull-out section for larger designs.
