What people are saying about the book:

Dresden Plates Rock They’re gorgeous. Could I really do it? After reading her book and understanding her construction methods, I found I could! Read the entire article

I just finished going through your book.  What a wonderful job you did.  The quilts are versatile and beautiful.  May I commend you on the simplicity of your instructions.  I have to get started on one very soon.  Thank you for being you.

I want to congratulate you on your beautiful book. Who would have thought there would be so many variations of the old Dresden plate, but you and your talented friends have made an exciting collection of designs for a "Thoroughly Modern Dresden." I love the design on the front cover and Beverly's Royal Dresden which are stunning. I must finish my Christmas Wreath for this year's holiday, as I am inspired again. I am glad the book also includes the basics that you teach in your classes so I can review ending the binding.

Anelie, the book is terrific!  The only problem is choosing which pattern I want to make - I've already been through it at least 3 times!!  And the colors - you know, the usual agonizing! The ruler is very clever. I'm looking forward to the class.
