Prim & Proper Quilt Book ISE-941 by Lori Holt

Step back to a gentler era with Prim & Proper, a beautifully nostalgic quilt book by Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet. Inspired by a time when handwork was at the heart of every home, Lori combines her love of vintage quilts, traditional appliqué, cross stitch, and antique textiles to create a collection that feels both timeless and charming. Known for her signature style of cheerful colours, vintage-inspired motifs, and heirloom-quality projects, Lori brings together classic needlework traditions and patchwork in a way that is uniquely her own.

At the heart of the book is the stunning Prim & Proper Sampler Quilt, featuring an elaborate vintage vase overflowing with flowers and leaves, surrounded by colourful cross-stitch inspired borders and motifs. The book also includes five additional projects consisting of three coordinating table runners and two decorative pillows, all designed to complement the sampler quilt while showcasing different layouts and settings. Each project highlights the beautiful Prim fabric collection while encouraging quilters to mix traditional techniques with Lori's signature "scrappy happy" approach.

Presented in a practical 69-page spiral-bound format, Prim & Proper is filled with detailed instructions, diagrams, and full-colour photography. Whether you're a fan of vintage-inspired decorating, appliqué, cross stitch, or sampler quilts, this book offers a delightful blend of old-fashioned charm and modern quilting techniques. The projects coordinate beautifully with Lori's Prim fabric collection but can easily be adapted using favourite stash fabrics and Bee Basics.
