      Modern Quilting Designs - Bethany Nicole Pease

      Dedication

      I dedicate this book to my mom, Nancy. I love you. Thank you for inspiring my passion for quilting. More important, thank you for the love and wisdom you have faithfully poured into my life from the beginning. God has given me a tremendous gift in you, Mom. I also dedicate this book to my Heavenly Father God, in whom I have found inexpressible joy and true fulfillment in life.

      Acknowledgments

      Special thanks to Nancy Pease, Nancy Johnson, Marylin Harlow-Maynard, Cathy McKillip, and John Adams (aka Quilt Dad).
