Paper Quilt Book

[gilsbach]

Does anyone know where I could find a copy (preferably used) of "Paper Quilts - A Handbook" by Michaela Laurie?

Every link I found and/or followed, it was sold out. Sorry I was no help at all... Good luck with the search! If/when I'm in a bookstore, I'll have a look around, k?

Thanks!

I know this is an old post but I was wondering the same thing today. I couldn't find it either and she does have an online shop and blog but no mention of the book so I suspect it might have made more sense economically for her to just produce patterns instead of the book. Check out her site here:
Paper Quilt Creations - patterns and made to order greeting cards and quilt pictures

and I am subscribed to her blog:

Paper Quilt Creations

I'd love to find the book too but kind of resigned to just figuring out how she does it and case-ing her beautiful creations.

Oh and check this link as well - there's a little information on her process:
Put Your Patchwork Quilt on Paper - Quilting Daily - Blogs - Quilting Daily

Was just thinking about this the other day... wondering about making something like this... Thanks for the links....

Has anyone looking for the book tried to borrow it from their Library?

I found a couple of her videos. Looks like it's pretty simple. Punch, glue, sew, trim.

I took a look at her blog. It appears that in some of her pieces, she's used two long narrow strips in place of several squares. (ie: Lucky Elephant) Again, that should be easy to do so long as you have an grid with an outlined image to work with. The Coats of Many Styles on the main page look tricky but I imagine that once you learn to do the techniques you can figure out the rest.
