Piece O' Cake Designs is a company specializing in quilt books and patterns. We are especially known for our applique designs.
We, Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins, together own and operate Piece O' Cake Designs, Inc.
Our books and patterns can be found in a variety of places: at your local quilt shop, on many quilting websites, from our publisher C&T, at many book stores, and right here on our website (click Books & DVD above)!
It's true - now we can come right into your home and teach you how to hand applique! Use this DVD by itself or pair it with our newest book, The New Applique Sampler.
Whether you already know how to applique or are a beginner, you will be able to improve your applique skills. Work at your own pace. Go back and watch individual segments as often as you like.

This quilt is featured in the June 2008 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting. The pattern for the quilt is in that issue of AP&Q and it is in our book, Piecing the Piece O' Cake Way.
We made fabric kits in three different colorways! The solids used in the "coins" are the same in each quilt. Only the print used in the vertical bars and borders changes. This quilt has a finished size of 39" x 51". This is a fast, fun, and easy quilt to make!
For more information, click the quilt. FYI - AP&Q mis-printed the the price of the kit. It really is $36, plus shipping.
