About the Book

Everything you make
belongs together.

What if every project you made worked together beautifully — pillows that coordinate with your runner, a throw that belongs with your quilt, a collection that looks like it was designed for exactly that corner of your home? That's the promise of the Winter Whispers Seasonal Collection.

Inside, you'll find fusible appliqué projects built around the cool, serene beauty of winter blues. Every project uses the same motifs and palette, so everything you make belongs together. No more beautiful orphans.

And coming alongside the book: a companion stencil collection that makes every project even faster to prepare — so you spend more time at your machine and less time at your cutting mat.

The Sewer

You want to follow a pattern start to finish and simply enjoy the making. Your preplanned projects are waiting.

The Modifier

You love a design but need it in green, or bigger, or just a little more yours. The tools, color theory, and project worksheets are all here.

The Puzzler

You see a finished quilt and want to figure out how it was made, then make it better. This book was written with you in mind.

Laureen Smith

Quilt designer, educator, and creator of the Applismith™ technique — a 3D fusible appliqué method that's as versatile as it is fun. After years as a chemical engineer (yes, she knows how to be precise — she just decided quilting shouldn't have to be), Laureen discovered that fusible appliqué is the antidote to fussy. Big results, zero stress, endless creative possibilities. She lives in Delaware with her husband and two very large Newfoundland dogs who have strong opinions about fabric on the floor.

Winter Whispers is the first volume in the Seasons Collection.
