Description
Yvonne is a former aerospace engineer turned modern quilter, designer, and technical editor. She was introduced to quilting by her paternal grandmother in high school when her grandmother offered to hand quilt a twin-size quilt to use in her college dorm room if Yvonne made the quilt top. Now, over 25 years later, Yvonne has developed a style that bridges her technical background and love of bold color, specializing in transparency color play and bold, geometric designs. Yvonne’s quilts have been featured in numerous national and international magazines, quilt shows, and Modern Quilts: Designs of the New Century. She lives on the big island of Hawaii with her husband.
As an engineer, Yvonne created plans to communicate how to manufacture parts that she developed. Plans are two-dimensional diagrams used to describe an object and communicate building and/or fabrication instructions. A plan view is a projection looking down on the object, like in a floor plan for a house. When Yvonne created the design for this quilt along, she started by overlapping various sizes of rotated plus shapes and the end result strongly reminded her of the plan view of the John C. Hodges library (the library of her college alma mater), resulting in the name of the design

Meringue Introduction
When Yvonne doodled the shapes that compose Meringue, she immediately thought of the toasted, swooping shapes on the top of a chocolate meringue pie. Meringue is the perfect pattern to use to explore value and have some curved piecing fun. The Meringue digital quilt pattern includes a "bonus quilt" that uses up the large leftover scraps from piecing Meringue to create the Garden Peony design. Both quilts are offered in 3 sizes: baby, lap, and queen, and the pattern includes the needed curve piecing templates, a coloring page, a page for each quilt dedicated to detailed information on how the sample quilts were quilted, and quarter circle templates that Yvonne used to mark the quilting lines.
