The Passionate QuilterIdeas and Techniques from Leading Quilters
Michele Walker Beginning with an assessment of traditional patterns and styles, Michele Walker moves on to show what today’s quilters are up to, using Sandra Lousada’s gloriously tactile photographs throughout. In a series of detailed profiles of quilters, both amateur and professional, the reader is given a unique insight into their sources of inspiration as they share the ideas, techniques and materials that make their quilts so special. For the novice, step–by–step illustrations show the main patchwork, appliqué and quilting techniques, and there are plenty of design ideas to get you going. But even more than this, as The Passionate Quilter shows, quilting also has temendous potential for artistic expression, can be adapted to a variety of decorated uses, and once taken up, is very hard to put down. 160pp • 9 x 11 • 978 0 943955 40 7 • hc • $29.95 |
