A Perfect Quilted Book Shelf
We can't think of a better pairing than a great read and a fun sewing project, and A Perfect Hand inspired both.
Ayelet Waldman's latest novel stole our hearts. An avid quilter and bestselling author, Ayelet inspired us to create a bit of "fan fiction" in the form of a quilt. Inspired by the story and its beautiful cover art, we designed this fun table set and partnered with Laura Coia of Sew Very Easy to create a video tutorial, now live on her YouTube channel.

The book's cover art inspired the Kimberbell Basics palette we used for our free Perfect Shelf table set pattern. Add A Perfect Hand to your summer reading, stitch along with us, and enjoy a little creative escape. Find the book at your favorite bookseller and follow Ayelet's writing and quilting at ayeletwaldman.com.
