Welcome to the home page of quilt designer and author Sally Schneider of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Sally has been quilting since 1971, and has made several hundred quilts since then, mostly by machine, although she has two completely hand-made quilts to her credit. A specialist in scrap quilts and built-in borders, she is the author of a total of nine book, two of which are still in print. Savvy Sets for Scrappy Blocks was released in October, 2007. It includes 12 quilts all in Sally's signature style; 6 of them have pieced sashing strips and 4 have alternating blocks. It also includes information for making the blocks, sashings and alternating blocks mix and match or adaptable to your blocks. Sally's other specialty is Built-In Borders; her book on that subject is Designing With Built-In Borders (see ordering information). With this method, you can make complex pieced borders as blocks, rather than long strips that may or may not fit your quilt. Sally has re-designed ten different borders that can be made using this block method. She also has a line of Built-In Border patterns -- each pattern has directions for a quilt in 3 or 4 sizes. All patterns have crib/lap, twin, and queen-size quilts; several of them also have wall hanging/table runner options. Sally has been active in the quiltmaking field as a teacher since 1980, as a quilt book editor from 1995-1998, and in 1999, she served as a selection panelist for the 20th Century's 100 Best American Quilts. She was nominated as one of the American Quilter's Society's All American Teachers, and in 2007 she was a nominee for Professional Quilter magazine's Professional Teacher of the Year.
