No Sewing Until You Quilt It

Ann Holmes is an artist, inventor of Ann’s Magic Buttons, and author of  “No Sewing Until You Quilt It” which was published by the American Quilt Society in 2012.
  
Ann has worked in stained glass since 1976. When she moved to Asheville, North Carolina in 1998 and became involved with the local quilt guild. Ann had a desire to recreate some of her original glass designs into fabric, without the lead line look of stained glass quilts. As a stained glass artist she would build a window on top of a drawing. Ann experimented with building her quilts in a similar way using a see-thru “French Fuse” foundation. Quickly "No Sewing Until You Quilt It" was born! This turned edge technique is easy and fun to do. Plus it saves time and you can edit your work without ripping out seams. What's not to love?
