The Modern Medallion Workbook

15 Apr

Finally, after a year and a half of planning and waiting, I am pleased to announce that I have a book coming out!

The Modern Medallion Workbook by Janice Zeller Ryan and Beth Vassalo

The book is called The Modern Medallion Workbook and my co-author is the lovely and talented Beth from Plum and June.  We are joined by nine talented contributors whose quilts are varied, yet equally breath-taking.

Quilts from the Modern Medallion Workbook

A few of the quilts featured in The Modern Medallion Workbook:
Wedding Bouquet Medallion by Rebecca Bryan, Alliance Medallion by Alexia Abegg, One Step at a Time by Melissa Richie, and Zen Medallion by Latifah Saafir.

Beth and I were quite excited to create a book featuring medallion quilts, but we were also passionate about having an in-depth workbook section. The workbook allows the reader to learn new skills, and plan their own personal, one-of-a-kind, medallion.

All the details:

The Modern Medallion Workbook is available for pre-order at both C&T Publishing and Amazon.  The official release date is April 20th, so you don’t have long to wait! You can peek inside the book on both websites.

The book features 11 Medallion Quilt Patterns, ranging from beginner to advanced, by Beth Vassalo, Alexia Abegg, Karen Anderson-Abraham, Rebecca Bryan, Kerry Green, Erica Jackman, Christina Lane, Melissa Richie, Latifah Saafir, Amy Sinibaldi and me!

Included in the book is a workbook section which provides in-depth instructions for advanced skills such as paper-piecing and curves, coloring pages and instructions for resizing and mixing borders.

Check out Instagram hashtag #themodernmedallionworkbook for more photos of the quilts.

I hope you enjoy the book.  Please let me know what you think!

    Truly, Janice, I was just looking at your book on Amazon.com. (I still have it open on another screen, in fact.) It is on my wishlist–my birthday was this week and I was hoping someone would choose it for me. But I’ll be looking forward to its release date, as I’m a huge fan of medallion quilts and I think this is the year I’ll be making one for myself. Congratulations on what looks to be a tremendous book!

    Congratulations! Love seeing new and different quilt books. I have never made a Medallion quilt, but this book may get me off my butt and make one!

    I would like to purchase some of the quilt patterns but when i go to my shop and click on buy under the quilt I would like to purchase I not only shows different prices each time I try but the name of the quilt is not the one I clicked on, I so would like to know what to do I really would like to be able to purchase some of the patterns. I see no way of contacting you to get help and have noticed that posting a comment as others have gets no response so I am at a loss. I would be grateful for some help in knowing how to use the site, I am new at doing this.’
    Thanks Louise
