Patty Murphy presents, "Zero Waste Quilting"

Patty Murphy is a designer, quilter, teacher, and author. Patty's third book, Zero Waste Quilting, was published by Stash in 2024. Unlike her first two books, Zero Waste Quilting focused on the environmental impact of textiles and how quilters can be better stewards of the Earth. This book showcases four main projects, then walks makers through how to use leftover fabric for beginning-to-end use of goods.
