Synopsis

This is a source book for anyone new to patchwork and quilting as well as offering a wealth of creative ideas for more experienced needleworkers. The reader is taken through the complete design process, from the selection of tools and equipment, choosing the right fabrics and threads, to planning colour schemes and variations. Basic patchwork and decorative quilting skills, by hand and machine, are described in simple step-by-step instructions, and each technique is illustrated by samples of the author's work. Many of the techniques are expanded into full-size projects, and should appeal to all levels of expertise. Complementary techniques such as applique are also described, together with information on how to finish and present a piece of work to advantage - whether it is a small sampler cushion or a large-scale wall hanging. Finally, the author offers advice about caring for and cleaning quilts, so that they give lasting pleasure.
