About the Author

Local Author Kristin La Flamme is familiar to many of us because we know her from Montavilla Sewing Center in Lake Oswego, Oregon. She has been creating and exhibiting quilts for several decades – being especially drawn to quilts that share a story. It was a long and winding path to this (her first) book, and it was worth the wait.

Other than my own patterns, quilt labels, and other printable designs – many of the items in my shop link to Amazon. Those prices change (often for the better) and Amazon provides great detail and reviews for every item. I can search out and offer you the best of the best items in each category – without having to stock that item on my physical shelves. This saves you the time and energy of having to search out these items on your own.

Will I earn a small commission – should you decide to make a purchase? Maybe, I hope so. Does that change the price you pay for each item? Not in any way – you only pay the listed price for any item you choose to purchase.

Here’s the other benefit – Free Shipping is always available with an order of just $25.00 minimum for Amazon orders and delivery is normally very quick.
