Because Joanne is a teacher, she has designed her patterns to be thorough and user-friendly as well as instructional by including different methods of construction in each pattern to help quilters acquire new skills or fine tune old ones. All of her patterns feature a full colour photograph and cutting charts for ease of use. Included are ample line graphics as well as clear text. No “quilt as desired” in these patterns! Patchwork Schoolhouse gives quilting suggestions and explains exactly how the featured quilt was quilted. In addition to the featured quilt, alternate sizes are diagrammed with appropriate yardage requirements for further options. Most importantly, all Joanne’s patterns have been tested by quilters just like you!
This listing is for a hard copy of one of these patterns selected by you (Descriptions below). Digital downloads of these patterns are available from Craftsy & Etsy. Free patterns are available on Craftsy and on our website.
Additionally the complete and comprehensive guide to quilting on DVD is available through Amazon.ca, Etsy and our website. The Learn to Quilt the Patchwork Schoolhouse series features Joanne Middleton and contains everything you need to know and a few things most experts don't as well.
