From Nancy Jewell, FreeSpirit Fabrics / Managing Director:
“Mattie’s ingenious product makes it easy & fun for anyone to create precise quilt designs. It is the perfect foundation for makers to delve into quilting whether a Mondo Bag or a quilted coat. Proof positive is our FreeSpirit team, many of whom had never sewed prior to our collaboration with Quiltsmart. Throughout this process, they fell in love with sewing and quilting thanks to Quiltsmart which was an integral part of their success. I hope this book inspires you to take on a quilted project and you too fall in love with the JOY of sewing!”
