We're getting to the end of our 2014 Summer Book Club! Our ninth book pick is On the Run Again by Heather Mulder Peterson. This books is definitely a Fat Quarter Shop favorite and Kimberly's favorite as well. Heather has designed fifteen runners and toppers created with precut fabric and the Triangler ruler from Anka's Treasures. If you don't have a lot of wall space to hang quilts or room to store all of your quilts, small projects are the best thing to make and decorate your home with. These projects are perfect for the busy quilter "on the run."
