Le quilt mystère : Edition bilingue français-English
This quilting book is one of the new additions to my quilting library.  The Mystery quilt adventure is about one main quilt that the author has designed inspired by her beautiful chocolate Labrador dog called Jules. The quilt has 12 block, Véronique Réquena goes through the blocks one by one with very good explanations, both in French and English. With each block there come a recipe for a cake, or a pudding. Very nice indeed. This is a book to share with your friends and colleges at patchwork and quilting classes, it will be very fun to do every week the block and the sweet pudding or cake.

At the second part of the book there are some beautiful ideas for your pet, like a pet pillow case with the name of your dog or cat. An apron made of squares of patchwork and an appliqué dog, very pretty as well. A Jules tea cosy, a patchwork basket to keep tidy all your fabrics, scissors cases, etc..

The style of her designs is very much French rustic or country if you prefer. Most of the quilting is done by hand which makes them even more special. I think this book is really worth buying, is filled with love for her dog and that is reflected in every page of this fabulous quilting book.

The author Véronique Réquena runs a very successful little shop in France, in a little town called Fontangy. The shop is called Born to Quilt in Hameau de Chazelle-l’Echo 21390 Fontangy in France. And her telephone number is: 0380600486

My patchwork teacher met Véronique in April in a course in Madrid. She has this book autographed by her and some pictures that you can see at her website in Spanish though: The Quilters Place
