Sumptuous PatchworkThirty Exciting and Original Patchwork Projects Embellished with Embroidery, Beading and Stencilling
Edited by Christine Donaldson Traditional patchwork and appliqué can create stunning effects, but when you add techniques like embroidery, beading, cording, and stencilling, the results are truly sumptuous. This beautiful book features 30 projects designed by leading quilters, from timeless clothes and accessories to opulent objects for the home. Although some will choose to work by hand, many of these pieces are surprisingly easy to create on a machine. Throughout, an intriguing variety of patchwork techniques are featured, and, with each project, you can decide to add as much or as little embellishment as you like. The projects are carefully graded to suit a range of abilities, and all the basic patchwork, appliqué and quilting methods are fully described and illustrated. Complete with templates, ready–to–enlarge patterns, and color photos, Sumptuous Patchwork brings a new luxuriance to this traditional craft. 128pp • 8 x 10 • 75 color photos, patterns & diagrams throughout • 978 1 57076 068 6 • hc • $24.95 |
