AUTHOR: In the last few years, Florence Knapp has developed an utter obsession with English paper piecing, creating intricate quilt tops sewn entirely by hand. It's wonderfully liberating not to be bound to the sewing machine and for sewing to suddenly feel a much more sociable and portable activity. She also writes general sewing patterns and occasional articles for sewing magazines, as well as shares tutorials on her blog Flossie Teacakes. She's been called the Liberty master as she works extensively with Liberty of London fabrics and her delightful writing style is a pleasure to read. In addition to being featured on various quilting blogs, her work has appeared on the Liberty of London website and Society of 6, and she has self-published an eBook on English paper piecing.
