Jodie Davis with Jayne Davis

Come along with popular television host Jodie Davis on a journey through Cotton Country-and discover its tradition, its good eats, and, of course, its cotton! A pretty and colorful mix of quilts, pillows, and home accents provides for fun and easy sewing. Many projects can be completed in an afternoon, while others make for an enjoyable weekend of sewing. The star project is Jodie's Sunny Southern Sampler, a ten-block quilt that evokes the gentle rhythms of life on a southern farm. Others include a superb bed quilt constructed using Jodie's unique "curve-and-pleat" appliqué technique, a pretty pack-me-up picnic set, a crayon embroidery picture, and even an apron for the kitchen!
