Memoirs; Assertiveness, motivation & self-esteem; Quiltmaking, patchwork & applique

Though it took her decades to reignite a spark that fueled her passion, author Carleen Church's debut memoir doubles as a quilting guide in which she shares anecdotes about learning to quilt, her life, and the obstacles along the path to follow her dreams.

This inspirational story of keeping your glass half-full despite numerous setbacks will inspire those who doubt and fuel the fire in those whose passions are smoldering.

Carleen has felt an insatiable pull to create since childhood, but life often stepped in the way of her artistic pursuits. When the world screeched to a halt during the Pandemic, Carleen jumped on her opportunity to indulge her passions.

This book is about a soulful journey-as a left-handed person in a right-handed world-where the author finds herself through creativity. It also chronicles how she pushed on despite several situations that threatened to hold her back from her passions.

Inside Around the Block: My Creative Journey is a heartfelt message and tips from the author that may be helpful for beginning quilters and creatives. She cites many examples of life's lessons that were discovered, and funny anecdotes along the way while giving words of encouragement to forge on in the quest to discover your creative talents and yourself no matter what is thrown your way.

Carleen has written Around the Block for all ages and genders, quilters, creatives, and those seeking out their purpose in life. She hopes her work is compared to other books that inspire and offer amusing anecdotes with a writer's guide for beginning quilters, especially for left-handed people that have challenges in a right-handed world.
