Sandy's Books
 Sandy has written several books showing us her vast array of techniques. The first was Folk Art Quilts: A Fresh Look with 18 original folk art quilts to teach you everything you need to know about folk art.
Sandy then produced two books teaching the techniques to make photo transfer quilts and created a photo transfer paper. The books are Quilting Your Memories: Inspirations for Designing With Image Transfers and Quilting More Memories: Creating Projects with Image Transfers. 
To celebrate the American Spirit, Sandy wrote Americana Quilts teaching how to choose fabrics for a folk art-inspired palette and giving tips for achieving a distinctive primitive look. Tried and True: New Quilts from Favorite Blocks gives new life to classic blocks such as Churn Dash, Flying Geese and Bear’s Paw, and shows unexpected ways to arrange traditional blocks for a whole new look.
