Creative Home Accessories – Got Quilts?
Pam Damour’s new book – Got Quilts?
A designer by profession and a quilter by passion, Pam spent many hours and many dollars starting quilt projects. Not always good at finishing, as she’d either lost interest in the project, ran out of fabric or had leftover blocks. So she’d put them in a bin and store them, always thinking perhaps someday? Well, someday has come. See how Pam has creatively taught her old quilts some new tricks! Pam’s new book, “Got Quilts?” is the compilation of valuable finishing techniques for unfinished quilt projects. See how you can turn yours into cherished home accessories.
