Have you ever spotted a quilt in the illustration of a children's book? Bedtime stories in our house often include, "Mom, look! A quilt!" One day, I began to wonder if those quilts could be created in real life and transform story time into something more. I began stitching past the boys' bedtime bringing our favorite stories to life.
Storybook Quilts was born from those moments. It's part quilting book, part love letter to children's literature, and wholly inspired by the magical intersection of real and make believe. The book has patterns for 14 quilts from beloved picture books including:
