Last year designers and friends Christine Baker (Fairfield Road Designs) and Nellie Holmes (originellie's) formed a joint company, Upper Canada Quiltworks Publishing Co. so that they could publish books and patterns that they co-design.

Their first book, Rag Bags©, released in May 2004, has been a huge hit. It features patterns for 12 different tote bags all made using the rag technique.

Their second book Rag-a-Muffins©, was released in April 2005. It contains lots of projects to make for children such as rag quilts, fusible appliqué wall hangings and accessories.

They currently have four patterns available with more to come!
