Pat Sloan
Beginner & FundamentalsPat Sloan walks a first-time quilter through one complete project start to finish, from fabric selection through piecing, assembly, and finishing. The pacing assumes no prior sewing-room experience and explains each step before moving to the next. Written for someone who wants a single guided project rather than a broad technique reference.
