Hand-Stitched Quilts - Carolyn Forster

Carolyn Forster’s Hand-Stitched Quilts is a practical quilting book that guides beginners through the process of making a patchwork quilt entirely by hand. Built around 27 creative quilt block patterns, it uses bite-size lessons in chronological order so skills can be developed gradually as the quilt takes shape.

This paperback edition from Search Press focuses on traditional patchworking and quilting, with clear guidance on hand stitching, big-stitch quilting, cutting fabrics with and without templates, and constructing and binding the finished quilt. Because the project is worked block by block, it also lends itself to more portable stitching. Hand-Stitched Quilts by Carolyn Forster was highly commended in the Best Sewing Book category at the Creative Book Awards 2024.
