Step into the world of quilting with Lorelai’s First-Time Quilter’s Handbook, the fresh, fun, and confidence-building guide written by 16-year-old quilting sensation Lorelai Kuecker. A rising star in the quilting community, Lorelai is on a mission to bring the joy of quilting to young creatives just like her. With industry buzz, a growing social media following, and her own fabric line with Northcott on the way, Lorelai is quickly becoming a leading voice in modern, youth-driven quilting. Readers will learn what tools they need, how to choose fabrics that fit their personality—including quilting cottons, flannel, Minky, fleece, and even T-shirts—and how to master six essential blocks before designing their own. Featuring 12 exciting projects that young makers will actually want to use, display, or gift, like a fun patchwork pillow, a backpack and purse, a phone holder, a laptop case, ornaments, coasters and mug rugs, and more, these are projects with personality and purpose! Lorelai understands what it feels like to be new to sewing, because she was just there a few years ago. Now a nationally recognized quilter with award-winning work and industry partnerships, she’s ready to pass the torch and help young creators everywhere fall in love with fabric, thread, and the magic of making something by hand. With step-by-step guidance, clear photos, and friendly encouragement throughout, Lorelai makes quilting approachable, creative, and fun. 8x10; 144 pages
