Linda & Becky
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, 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!
Have you been reading our blog?
If so, you've read about the trip we took to Hawaii. It wasn't all fun - we did some work too. Some of the things we saw (like this saffron finch) could turn up in our quilts!
We talk about color, design, quilting, and what's going on in our lives on the blog. We hope you join us there!
There is a link in the menu bar on each page of our site (including this page) to our blog.
Don't miss Show & Tell!

Excerpted from a recent email:
I have started several different applique projects, only to get stymied from a lack of concise instructions, then up up quitting on the project, UNTIL I ordered one of your books!!! I find your instructions to be so complete, and without ever having taken an applique class, I now have 10 blocks finished from you Spring Spectacular quilt, and am thrilled with the outcome.
I sing your praises to all my friends, and have ordered many books for them. Just thought I'd pass on to you my praises and gratitude! I now have at least 5 of your books.
Thank you,
Karen M.
