Millefiori Quilts 1 by Willyne Hammerstein

Description

The designs in Millefiori Quilts 1 are not just for quilters who like English Paper Piecing (EPP).

Willyne sews with a running stitch to make her exceptional quilts. Some quilters are using EPP instead.

Quiltmania—one of the most beautiful quilt magazines in the world—published all four of Willyne’s Millefiori Quilts books.

Why I don’t sell acrylic templates

Whether you use Inklingo or not, you do not need acrylic templates for any of Willyne’s designs, just the book, some freezer paper, and your favorite fabrics.

Sewing by hand with a running stitch is less expensive than EPP, Freezer paper also works better than acrylic for fussy cutting.

Every one of Willyne’s designs in Millefiori Quilts is exceptional! When you have an Inklingo shape collection for Millefiori Quilts, you can start AND finish Willyne’s elaborate designs in a reasonable amount of time.

Millefiori Quilts 1 All Around the World

We are very lucky to be quilters in the twenty-first century! Willyne was born and lives in The Netherlands and she named her book Millefiori which is Italian for a thousand flowers. She was inspired by the tiling designs of an English mathematician and the book was published by Quiltmania in France. Then it was shipped across the Atlantic, so I can mail it from the USA (Niagara Falls NY) to you—wherever you are in the world.

Not only that, but now you can order and download Inklingo shape collections for many of the designs from my site in Canada.

Love the lines. Quilt more!
