Pam Lintott and her daughter Nicky are an extraordinary success story, in both the publishing and quilting worlds. Their jelly roll quilting books have sold a phenomenal over 250,000 copies. Jelly Roll Sampler Quilts, published in May, is their fifth book.
This new book will both delight their thousands of existing fans, and entice new quilters to experience the joys of using jelly rolls (for the uninitiated, a jelly roll is a roll of 40 different strips of fabric, 2½ inches wide, which can be used to make a complete quilt).
Pam and Nicky give instructions for making five entire sampler quilts, around the themes of Classic, Big and Bold, Snowball, Star and Basket, with five pick ‘n’ mix variations. Details are given for making over fifty different blocks in different sizes, all showing exactly the number of strips required to make each block. Each quilt can be made from just one jelly roll.

The authors:
Pam Lintott opened The Quilt Room in Dorking, Surrey, in 1981. She and her daughter Nicky have co-written four previous best-selling books: Jelly Roll Quilts which has sold over 100,000 copies, Layer Cake, Jelly Roll and Charm Quilts, Jelly Roll Inspirations, and Two from One Jelly Roll Quilts. Pam and Nicky now run The Quilt Room together although Nicky has taken over the day to day management, giving Pam more time to look after her sheep and chickens in Cornwall. They are both much in demand in the quilting world and travel widely to international quilting shows and events.
