Jera Brandvig worked in the biotech industry before becoming a best-selling quilting author and fabric designer. Jera lives in a cozy home in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle with her loving husband and two beautiful boys.
A follow on from the best selling Quilt As You Go Made Modern. Jera
has come up with another winner, based on the ever-popular vintage
theme. The book gives materials and tools, information on batting
and quilt sizes plus everything you need to know about what is
unique about this way of quilting. It has become one of my
favourite techniques for working on a domestic sewing machine. It
is far easier to join the blocks, having quilted them, than to
quilt the whole top in one go. 51 classic vintage blocks (12 inches
(30cm) square, nine projects and three joining methods are
included. You can even make your quilt reversible. Easy to follow
instructions and great photographs and line drawings. The book is
suitable for all levels of quilters. Versatile and easy, qaygo can
be applied to any quilt block. It is absolutely fantastic with
quilts small and large, a cushion and a table runner. The smaller
quilts could be used as wall hangings. There’s a little bit of
improvisation in there too. Recommended.

January 2018 This is a follow-up book to the popular
Quilt-As-You-Go Made Modern, also by Jera. It features 51 blocks,
nine projects, and three joining methods; including her very own
technique that makes your quilt reversible by quilting each block
individually on a backing and using joining strips on the front and
back of the assembled quilt. Whilst the first book focussed on
improvisational techniques in a modern style, this one is about
using vintage fabrics in classic block designs. There are useful
sections on tools and supplies, working with batting, and choosing
your fabrics. Each project is laid out in an easy to follow
fashion
that is packed with photos and diagrams. Overall, a well considered
book that is a delight to look through with a warm, encouraging
tone of voice.
