Suzanne R. Earley

It all starts with a meander! Meandering Magic is a freehand design idea book for any machine quilter. Designs were originally created on a longarm quilting machine, but can be adapted for use on shortarm and midarm quilting machines.

Ideas for using this technique by quilters using a domestic sewing machine to quilt are also included.

The book has many full-page drawings, color photos, and step-by-step instructions on how to apply Suzanne’s ideas to your quilts.

Designs are based on a large meander that becomes the spine for many different kinds of embellishments.
