This complete guide to scrap quilting includes full-size templates, 2 paper-piecing patterns, and a fullchapter on quiltmaking basics for scrap addicts.

Review

Bonnie Hunter and her website www.quiltville.com are very well known for scrappy quilts the more fabrics the better! Bonnie is also renowned forcreating her 'scrap user system,' which enables her to access her stash easily and make the most of even the tiniest precious piece. From thegenerous sharing of information in the beginning to help you get the best results, through to the eye-boggling scrappiness of each project, thisbook (her seventh) is classic Bonnie. Each quilt is big, designed to go on a bed and be used and loved. Some of the designs are more muted,some are very bright, and there is even a Christmas one. The overall look is traditional, but by adding in the many fabrics and colours, thepatterns gain a new vibrancy and interest. You will find yourself re-thinking the fabric you have not been brave enough to use before. While thethought of cutting and piecing so many components may seem daunting, the instructions are laid out in a logical order, there are many diagramsand lots of written instructions, plus a quick visual overview of how the blocks go together. (Down Under Quilts, Issue 177)

The Queen of Scraps, American quiltmaker Bonnie K. Hunter, is back with another collection of bed-size quilts, all made from traditional patchworkblocks. If you're already a Bonnie fan, you'll definitely want to add this book to your collection. If you're not familiar with her work, visit herwebsite, quiltville.com, for an insight into her skill in combining all manner of print fabrics to create quilts with a squillion little pieces and tonne ofimpact. The projects in this latest book allow you to work effectively with your stash the brights, the beauties, the out-of-date, the weird, the draband the downright ugly. Bonnie is a strong advocate of using what you have and focusing on value, contrast and variety to achieve zing. Andbecause all of the projects are block-based, they also lend themselves very readily to group and community projects. (Homespun, November2016)

The next step in the Hexagon Revolution! Learn to create hexagon quilts with intricate designs and multiple size blocks. Emily offers expert step-by-step instructions to help you create a stunning quilt that will make your friends ask, "How did you do that?" - Summer 2017 Quilter'sConnection

Everyone who has ever made a quilt have probably made a 'hexie' one at some point.The fabulous little six sided shapes are so effective and can be look very beautiful.I have made quilts, bags and even a book cover using these shapes, from 3.4 inch to 5 inch, they really are versatile and clever to use in anypattern.Emily Breclaw's book, is filled with advice in how to start your project, from what size hexagon to use, to how to sew the little things together. Shehas included design grids, so you can design your own pattern, and templates to trace around and cut out for even accuracy.There are 11 quilts and 29 blocks in this book, which is more than enough to get you started.The pictures are bright and each project lists materials, cutting and construction, so you really can't go wrong.EPP..English Paper Piecing..is traditionally a hand stitching project, but small projects can, with a little patience, be tackled on a sewing machine.Sewing with hexagons is so addictive, the act of just sitting and hand stitching them together is a time of quiet and relaxation. I recommend thisanyone who suffers from a little stress

I adored this book, Emily has brought this craft bang up to date, I particularly liked the 'Twinkling' quilt and the 'Starburst' pattern is just beautiful.- 7/26/2017 tracyshephard.wordpress.com

Read all about hexagons and the power of this 6-sided shape in quilt-making. You can use templates, precut papers or print shapes onto fabric.This book provides inspiration for using hexagons. Find out all about hexie block making, cutting, sewing, piecing and quilt making. Createtumbling blocks or stretch and skew that hexie to make beautiful quilts. My favourite is the baby heart quilt. Clear instructions with superb photosand colour line drawings. There is a short design primer at the back of the book and templates. - yarnsandfabrics.co.uk

05/01/2017Hexagons (and their component parts) are the focus of this first book from quilting blogger Breclaw, who uses a variety of cutting and piecingtechniques in her colorful designs. Breclaw begins with step-by-step tutorials for English paper piecing and hand- and machine-sewing rotary-cutshapes. The majority of the quilt components are assembled, medallion-style, out of triangles, half-hexagons, and diamonds, which combinedform intricate shapes in a kaleidoscopic style. While some of the patterns lend themselves to one technique or the other, most can be sewn usingeither method. VERDICT Though constructing these quilts takes a lot of time, they are much less difficult than they appear, and Breclaw'sthoughtful instruction and logical processes for assembly will guide both beginners and experienced quilters. - Library Journal

Review

Animal Parade 2 - Charming Applique Quilts for Babies by Cheri Leffler has 10 adorable projects for children and, best of all for me, they all havegorgeous applique motifs. The birds on the cover add whimsy and cheer to the quilt, don't you think?

Cheri Leffler is such a talented and creative designer, as well as a well-known quilting instructor. I was hooked on her designs for children after Isaw her first Animal Parade book in 2014. Her second book is even more amazing. Cheri puts her magical spin on traditional blocks, combiningthem in unique and unexpected ways. Cuteness beyond pink and blue!

The Pigs in a Blanket quilt is tempting me - it would look cool in other color combinations, too. She has a keen eye for mixing colors and textures,and the result is a collection of quilts sure to be treasured by little hands today and their children tomorrow!

Cheri's applique shapes would look great on accessories, too, adorning pillows, wall hangings, baskets... If you are new to applique, AnimalParade provides detailed instructions for needle turn and fusible web applique, along with the embroidery stitches used on Cheri's projects. --Denise Russell, Pieced Brain blog

Applique Masterpiece: Affairs of the Heart

Author: Rossmann, Aie.

Category: Appliqué

Keywords: Appliqué Patterns, Quilting--Patterns, Patchwork--Patterns, Heart in art



Affairs of the Heart is a quilt with 36 appliqued blocks on a black background, each integrating a heart motif in some manner. The blocks areintricate in appearance, yet easy enough to be tackled by novices with basic applique skills. Even the experts will find themselves engaged in thedelicacy of the exquisite design elements and the vividness of the florals, influenced by the author's Burmese background. Aie (pronounced a)adds scrolls and scallops to her borders. The blocks are a manageable size, so each one can be completed within a single sitting. While the authormade the quilt by hand with the needle-turn method, the designs lend themselves to other applique methods and could easily be done bymachine. Using a variety of fabrics and thread colors gives depth to the design and adds to the vibrancy of the quilt.

Review

Aie Rossmann's Affairs of the Heart is also a winner for all skills levels. Aie Rossmann's applique, guide blends flowing designs with vivid colorschemes and almost 40 blocks linked by a heart motif. Choose this for any loving gift for Valentine's Day presentation, accenting the result withthe scrolls and scallops recommended within for border accents. -Midwest Book Review

while this book is not as fabulous as the author's first, "quilitng patterns from native american designs", it is a wide-ranging group of line drawingsbased on the beadwork of many north, central and south american tribes.

this isn't a picture or pattern book, it is a design resource for the quilter who wants to produce something out-of-the-ordinary--combining thedesigns in this book with those in the first would result in beautiful, unusual quilts.

the designs could also be embroidered, extending the usefulness of the book.

This book is a great pattern resource book foranyone who likes birds and butterflies. * Fabrications * Jun 06 The author is a very skilled embroiderer and wants to take her readers on 'anadventure in colour -blend applique' The examples she shows include birds and butterflies in all their glory, colours glowing, stitching exquisiteandbeautifully finished. This is very much a project book with detailed instructions on how to complete twelve blocks, each of which can beinterpreted in different ways. The methods are shown in step by step photos and are simple to follow, but a degree of skill and perseverancewould be required to achieve the finish illustrated. This book celebrates traditional skills, but brings in a modern slant to an old techniques. Handstitchers should entranced by the superb examples shown and the way in which colours have been used to such good effect. * MerseysideEmbroiderers Guild *

When Marsha D. Radtke discovered a tattered quilt in her rural Maryland parsonage attic, she found local history as well as an old textile. The redand green Baltimore Album quilt not only had an inked date of 1850, it also had inked signatures of women with well-known area family names. Itwas the superb workmanship that inspired Marsha to re-create the quilt s 24 hand appliqué patterns (one of them repeated in different fabrics)and share this historic treasure with others. These patterns sewn with expert skill before the Civil War have been redrafted for today's quilter withprecision, clarity, and easy-to-follow instructions. In addition to being a Baltimore Album pattern teaching guide and resource, the book includesMartha s quilt-as-you-go technique and fail-safe binding method.

In a series of 12 lessons, Sienkiewicz describes in meticulous detail the ingenious methods employed a century past by Baltimore women, andothers favored by contemporary needleworkers (who use timesaving devices such as freezer paper, glue sticks and masking tape without shame).Each lesson prepares the reader to execute a 16-inch quilt block in one or more of 27 full-size patterns, cut from paper first folded into halves,quarters or eighths. Organized as a text for a single reader or for a class of quilters, the book allows the faithful to advance from cutwork appliqueto folded rosebuds, stuffed berries, ruching and inked calligraphy. Each block is presented in color, as are four antique and four contemporaryquilts. Sienkiewicz's very specific how-to instructions are verified by historical example--and one is always made aware not only of the evolution ofthe stitches, but also of the feelings that inspired them.

Here's Bargello like you've never seen it before: stunning quilts full of free-form twists, turns, and 3-D effects that look like Op-art paintings. Thebiggest surprise is how simple these quilts are to make! Designer Ruth Ann Berry shows you how to use easy, straight-line strip piecing to createthe illusion of curves in motion. 8 projects with complete instructions plus directions on how to create your own designs. Slice up your stash,novelty fabrics and even ugly fabrics look good when cut up for Bargello piecing. Large-scale quilts look spectacular on a bed or on the wall.

Review

I love when older techniques are revived and refreshed, and that is the case with the Bargello quilt. I remember making my first one andmarveling at how much easier it was than it looked. That quilt hangs in my cousin's home today. Ruth Ann Berry looked at ways that she couldseparate the moving parts in the design from the static background. She came up with four different solutions to do this: what she calls a scribbleon a solid background; a scribble on a background of busy prints; the scribble and background made from different, contrasting color runs; and asolid-color splash across a series of plaids or a background of stripes. I never would have thought of plaids years past. I loved the energy that thequilts reflect. In addition to the eight patterns she includes, Ruth Ann also teaches you how to draft your own original design on graph paper. (TheProfessional Quilter Magazine, 3/26/14)

Here is a new twist on the classic Bargello quilt. Ruth Ann shows you how to create quilts full of free-form twists, turns, and 3-D effects. Sheteaches you how to use easy straight-line strip piecing to create the illusion of curves in motion. Cut up your stash of novelty and even "ugly"fabrics; they will look great in these large scale projects for beds or walls. Instructions are provided for eight quilts, plus information on makingyour own designs. (Quilter's Digest, June 2014)

Review

Another delightful quilt book has been released this spring called Better Together by Karen Sievert. SewCalGal recommends this book is a "musthave" for any quilter. It is a perfect book for quilters of all levels, sharing insights on fabric selection, quilting basics, machine quilting, and more.This book contains ten patterns to make beautiful quilts, each using two complimentary blocks. There are many beautiful quilts out there madewith two blocks, but Karen does an excellent job showing how to make spectacular quilts using two blocks! SewCalGal predicts that there aregoing to be many quilt show winners, in future quilt shows, where quilters benefit from insights shared by Karen Sievert!

Techniques used are based on rotary cutting and traditional piecing methods, with easy to follow instructions for the beginner quilter. But theinsights on machine quilting, block placement, and border settings help to move a beginner-intermediate quilter to an advanced quilter. Plusoodles of tips and tricks are throughout the book, of interest to quilters of all levels. Personally, I loved the quilting suggestions and excellentphotography that showed the high quality quilting. Even the cover of this book shows an inspirational quilt, yet the photography captures theamazing machine quilting, not just the amazing beauty of the quilt! --SewCalGal.blogspot.com--for sewing quilting, and embroidery enthusiasts

A Bridge to Landscape Quilts

Author: Hackett, Mary L..


Keywords: Patchwork--Patterns, Appliqué, Quilting, Fabric pictures, Landscapes in art



You are invited on a journey into making landscape quilts and providing a bridge from traditional quiltmaking to scenic interpretation. The authorleads you through a series of simple exercises designed to help you really see what you are looking at, to decide which images you favor, and tointerpret them in fabric. Various simple quiltmaking techniques are combined in a building-block manner to make a fabric picture. Traditionallypieced blocks, whether sewn by hand or machine, are used to create large areas of a landscape. Sky, water, and land masses are made of thesepieced sections, and the wonderful geometric shapes lend a subtle texture. She then shows how to add appliqué shapes and details to thebackground. In Your First Project, a very simple composition of trees, she takes you step by step through the process, then shows you how to addthe 'Wow Factors,' those components that fool the eye into accepting illusion. 80 pages + large pull-out pattern section.

Review

Creating a realistic landscape in fabric using patchwork, appliqué, and quilting techniques is a big challenge, but Mary Hackett has analyzed theprocesses and presented them in very accessible stages, so that even the less confident quilter might be tempted to have a go. Shown is how tobuild a picture with advice on fabric choice, image selection, perspective, and composition. -British Patchwork & Quilting, April 2005

She shares her simple design concepts for those who want to design their own Celtic quilts, whileproviding piecing tips, pressing options, and quilting ideas. Even beginning quiltmakers can tackle these colorful quilt patterns. Teaching tips andlesson plans are included for quilt teachers and shop owners.

Reviews

Karen Combs has a winner with Celtic Pieced Illusions. The designs are beautiful and it's very surprising to find you can make them with only twoor three different blocks. It's all in the way they are arranged. Karen even has instructions in the back of the book for teaching one of thedesigns...a lesson plan for quilt teachers. Great idea that I wish would show up in more books. -Sandra Olson - From the Publisher

Review

What a fabulous book! The examples, the descriptions, the quilts, all fabulous -- this author really knows her stuff, and she has the ability to sharethat information in a clear, easy to understand manner. Really, if you have any questions about how to put colors together in art, quilting, oranywhere else--read this book.

Suzanne wrote: "Nothing is more disappointing than to see a beautifully sewn quilt that is ugly. All those hours and material invested to produce,hmm, well, something that will keep someone warm.While nothing can replace a quilter's own developing sense of color relationships for creating a stunning quilt, Joen's Color Play is a great self-teaching tool. Information many people learned years ago in school, for example that blue and orange are complementary colors, is not true infabrics. Joen presents the Ives Color Wheel, and promises her readers that using magenta, yellow and turquoise as the primary colors instead ofred, yellow and blue will 'create the most powerfully beautiful colors in the world.' The Ives Color Wheel is presented as the only element on page11 so it is large enough to be very useful when selecting fabrics.Joen also discusses the colors that correspond with various seasons and moods, helping any quilter who wants to convey a particular feeling ortime of year.Although much of the book consists of color drawings of quilts to illustrate color partnerships, dozens of pictures of real quilts are included andreferred to as examples. A bonus chapter at the end explain how to created special effects such as a sense of depth, luminosity, luster,transparency, shadows and highlights - very inspiring!A great reference book!"

Your creativity will blossom when you take the 7 quilt challenges presented in this fabulous book. Discover tools, tricks and techniques to developyour own unique style and improve your know-how. Find design decisions, colour and construction with new twists and ideas in using blocks,whole quilt, stitching, materials and more. This book is full of beautiful quilts that you can make but it is equally full of take-away ideas that youcan develop. It's all about discovering the quilt inside you, bringing your creativity to develop your own design. There's even ideas for fabrics youdon't like and scrap bag fabrics. The techniques section is superb. The whole book is illustrated with fabulous photos and clear instructions.There's enough ideas here to keep you going for months. In fact, one thing usually leads to another, so you might find enough inspiration here foryears. Highly recommended. (yarnsandfabrics.co.uk, 1/28/16)

Challenge yourself to discover your style and increase your design skills! Two American artists offer no specific techniques, but would simply likecontribute to the theme of composition and design. Put your own ideas to paper and this book will enable you to achieve them. Both artists alsoshow how the same top may be made in various ways, by bringing other elements to the composition. The different quilts range from moretraditional to the more contemporary . They show how the combination of precious fabrics and pretty "raw" materials can be interesting . Betempted by the novelty and dare to try something unusual. (patCHquilt, Spring 2016)

This is an ideas book, full of original work. It is not a "how to" book. The two authors challenge each other to use unusual materials, try newtechniques and explore colour. They want the readers to do the same and suggest a set of rules for such an enterprise. Each quilter shows afinished quilt (they are small pieces) and explains their methods. Materials such as cotton, linen, silk and even hair interfacing are used. There arenumerous interesting techniques including set-in squares, inserting bias strips and finishing with different bindings and facings. Surface stitchingand raw edge construction add texture. It is adventurous and exciting, I choose it as my Book of the Month. (British Patchwork & Quilting, June2016)

The pattern was very straightforward, and I was able to finish the quilt in a couple of days, which was a refreshing change of pace for me.Since I'm becoming more of a contemporary quilter, and like appliqué too, these quilts really appealed to me. --Mary at Mary Manson Quilts,March 2014

Review

Having taken Melinda's two day workshop on flowers and thread painting, one can see that she is not only in love with color but has a seriouspassion for thread as well. Melinda's style captures the beauty of painting with thread rather than brushes and paint with nothing lost. Focusing ondesign, she is generous in teaching readers not only how to quilt, thread paint and use color lavishly, but how to design original floral quilts. Fullcolor photos illustrated in the Photo Gallery of the book include both stylized and realistic blooms, leaves and fruit.

After becoming totally inspired, the next section of this book delivers what she describes as the Creative Process. Following this, Melinda presentsher supply list with special attention to one of today's most popular notions, fusibles, and tips for using them. The author suggests you begin youroriginal floral design by taking photos of real flowers. She provides all the steps needed to make your own outline drawing and how to transfer itto fabric easily. Painting with thread plus tips on how to applique and machine quilt the layers together in one step are easy to follow givenMelinda's instructions, along with wonderful color photos we have come to expect from Martingale.

The last half of the book offers specifics on how to create flowers, from cornflowers to pansies and clematis to roses. The peach rose pattern isparticularly exquisite. All patterns include entire drawings and their individual applique shapes, plus helpful "fabric keys" to help you choose, cut,layer and stitch to assure your success.

The tone of Melinda's book conveys the enthusiasm she exhibits personally as a talented designer and teacher. Never hesitate to take a class withher whenever possible. --Sylvia Landman, Sylvia's Studio

Denyse Schmidt: Modern Quilts, Traditional Inspiration: 20 New Designs with Historic Roots

Author: Schmidt, Denyse.


Keywords: Quilting--Patterns



Denyse Schmidt is one of the leading quilters of the 21st century. Known as a "modern" quilter, she actually draws much of her creative visionfrom quilts of the past. In Denyse Schmidt: Modern Quilts, Traditional Inspiration, Schmidt pays homage to the quilters and quilts that camebefore her. Each of the 20 traditional quilt designs she has reinterpreted here (among them are Irish Chain, Mariner's Compass, and Orange Peel,to name a few) is introduced with a lively overview of the pattern's history. Instructions are illustrated, templates are provided at full size on apullout pattern sheet, and a complete techniques section is included at the back of the book.

Praise for Denyse Schmidt: Modern Quilts, Traditional Inspiration:"Denyse Schmidt's contemporary art quilts are things of enduring style and beauty, but few fans realize her 16-year career as a textile artist beganwhen Schmidt fell in love with tried-and-true, centuries-old traditional quilt patterns . . . Modern Quilts, Traditional Inspiration is the artist's returnto this fertile terrain, featuring her colorful and updated take on 20 time-tested designs. Full-page photos of gorgeous quilts full of those boldgeometric shapes that first inspired her provide ample motivation, while detailed instructions, a pull-out book of templates, and a section detailingtools and techniques offer plenty of how-to support, even for novice makers." --American Craft Magazine"The book contains 20 traditional quilt styles that look exceptionally modern, hip, and fresh, with limited color palettes and minimal use of prints.To me, it is the best of both worlds--tried-and-true patterns with stories to tell, interpreted by this talented woman who helped define modernquilting. The modern/traditional debate is moot here, which is refreshing and wonderful." --Sew Mama Sew!

"It's been 7 years since Denyse Schmidt's first book, and believe me, this new volume was well worth the wait...Whether you consider yourself atraditional or modern quilter, there is plenty of inspiration here, in projects that play with the tantalizing pairing of vintage patterns andcontemporary colors. Although Denyse explains the origins and alternate names of many of the patterns, she rarely offers them straight: she riffsoff old patterns like Mariner's Compass and Wagon Wheel and strips them down to stark basics." --Meg Cox, Journalist, Author, and President ofthe Alliance for American Quilts

"Denyse Schmidt never ceases to inspire us . . . We are very excited to announce her latest book, the simply breathtaking Modern Quilts,Traditional Inspiration. Delving back to the traditional styles that first sparked her passion for quilting, Denyse gives these twenty quilt patterns amodern spin with bold, beautiful fabric choices." --The Purl Bee

Some of the diagrams are: straight lines, geometrics and triangles; squares and circles; diagonals and diamonds; ovals,crescents, and curves; ropes and cables; hearts and feathers; and representational, naturalistic, designs taken from a quilt pattern, andcombination designs. In the back section, the Numerical Index has numbers assigned to the designs for easy documentation and reference.Phyllis's quilt designs have helped her win numerous awards in quilt competitions.

Editorial Reviews


Miller, an experienced quilter who has been closely involved with the Kentucky Quilt Registry documentation project, here sets out to categorizequilting designs by shape, to assign names to the designs based on their use in the literature of quilting, and to teach the best methods fordrawing and marking the designs on a quilt top.

Euphoria Tapestry Quilts: 40 Appliqué Motifs & 17 Flowering Projects


Category: Appliqué

Keywords: Patchwork quilts, Appliqué Patterns, Patchwork--Patterns, Fabric pictures



Create a quilted tapestry of sumptuous flowers with the best-selling author of Beautiful Botanicals. Appliqué 40 realistic flowers and 17sophisticated projects like pillows, table runners, wallhangings, and bed quilts. Hand stitch motifs from Deborah Kemball's award-winning Euphoriaquilt, or mix and match flowers to create your own gorgeously detailed masterpiece. With clear instructions and helpful photos, this collectionincludes a pattern pullout to photocopy, plus a free download of full-size designs you can print.

Review

Deborah Kemball's newest book is a wonderful indulgence for those who love needleturn appliqué. It provides patterns for 40 realistic flowers andinsects and instructions on using them to make 17 different projects, including table runners, wallhangings and bed quilts. Deborah's appliquémethod requires no special tools other than freezer paper, so it's simplicity itself, allowing you to focus on colour, layout and embroideredembellishments. She provides an excellent overview of her techniques at the beginning of the book, and then each flowers receives a detailedexposition, accompanied by photographs illustrating steps in its construction. The projects fill the second half of the book. Full-size patterns,however, are provided for only some of them, requiring you to enlarge the remainder on a photocopier or computer scanner or download themfrom a dedicated website. While this is a bit of a nuisance, it seems a reasonable trade-off given the number of patterns provided. (Homespun,August 2016)

I am enchanted by the artistry of Deborah Kemball and other quilters who take on the creation of large appliquéd embroidery quilts. The stunningimpact of flowers and motifs is so inspiring, but I have to admit, the thought of the hours and hours needed to finish one of these masterpieces isdaunting. In her newest book, Deborah gives quilters the option of making a full-size quilt packed with magical flowers, vines and leaves ormaking 14 small projects using segments of the whole quilt. These beautiful table runners, pillows and window valances give the opportunity to tryout appliqué embroidery on a smaller scale. Clear, beautifully illustrated instructions are given on the required techniques using freezer-papertemplates and embroidery stitches. The making of dozens of different flowers is explained step-by-step. Once you get started, who knows, youmay carry on and create your own fabulous masterpiece. (CQA/ACC, Summer 2017)

Fantastic Fabric Folding: Innovative Quilting Projects

Author: Wat, Rebecca.

Category: Asian

Keywords: Quilting--Patterns, Origami



Embellish your traditional quilt with origami techniques! 22 delightful projects for quilts, vests, and pillows, with step-by-step photographs offolding instructions.


Wat had mastered techniques of origami many years before learning to quilt. She had used origami for home decorating and gift-wrapping buthad never seen the connection between quilting and traditional Japanese paper folding. Then one day, she tried folding fabric instead of paperand began an exploration that has culminated in this book. A quilt and wearable-art designer, she now uses folded fabric to add dimension andsurface interest to her designs and teaches the technique to quilters eager to expand their skills. This book includes detailed instructions forreproducing in fabric eight basic paper folding designs: folded stars, diamonds, inside-out flowers, folded roses, twirled roses, pinwheels, polygonflowers, and kimonos. Once these fabric-folding techniques are mastered, the reader is free to move on to the 22 projects (vests, quilts, pillows,etc.) featuring the origami designs. This book is a good choice for expanding public library quilting collections. One caution: even though thequilting projects use traditional origami folding techniques, their modern designs are unrelated to traditional Japanese quilting. Libraries wishing toacquire books on Japanese quilting should consider Kumiko Sudo's Circles of the East: Quilt Designs from Ancient Japanese Family Crests(NTC/Contemporary Bks., 1997) or Takako Onoyama and others' Honoring the Seasons: Patterns from Japan's Quilt House Yama (Martingale,1996. o.p.).

Review

This is an excellent book for a beginner, as well as being a fun "new" technique for an advanced quilter. I would suggest reading through thegeneral cutting instructions first and scanning several patterns before beginning to cut. This is a different way to go about block piecing, but lotsof fun. I am off to quilt camp with FAST QUILTS under one arm and a stack of fat quarters under the other!

ZMW Said: "I bought this book because I liked all the different possible layouts using 8 different pieces. I failed to realize that fat quarters are 18 x22 and did not get all the pieces needed. I used scraps to fill in the rest as the piece that I was missing was the smallest triangles. There are NOdirections in the book on how to sew together any of the sections, not even the order in which the subunits should be sewn together. I had torefer to other books with similar patterns to put together some of the units. No information was given on matching triangle points, a tricky part ofsome of the blocks. I had to do some math to figure out the size to trim blocks and subunits. Most pattern books will list the size of each subunitso you can check your work. I think the book as wonderful ideas especially if you want to use up scraps. I plan to cut the various sized units fromscraps and then play around with design to make quilts. I felt frustrated that I used 10 fat quarters and didn't get all the units I needed for onequilt.A beginning quilter could not make these quilts. If you have made a few quilts and are confident with sewing units together especially triangle,this would be a useful book for design ideas. The cutting plan is OK but beware that you will be missing units because of the size of fat quarters."

Focus on Features

Author: Andersen, Charlotte Warr.


Keywords: Appliqué, Face in art, Quilting



The creative possibilities of pictorial applique are infinite! In this follow-up to the popular Faces & Places, Charlotte Warr Andersen addresses herApplique-for-Realism techniques in even greater detail. The actual drawing process is emphasized, including tips on shaping realistic details offeatures such as eyes, noses, mouths, ears, and hands. Charlotte leads us beyond basic shapes of facial features, exploring subtle variations inshape and combination of features that make us all individuals. Detailed photographs show step-by-step construction sequences for an eye and amouth. Charlotte covers the roles of color and value and demonstrates how those who prefer machine applique can also utilize her technique.


The ancient needlecraft of applique takes on a new form in the hands of Anderson. She begins by tracing dramatic, well-lit photos of her subject,then cuts and appliques cloth to create somewhat realistic images. Her work falls somewhere between quilting and portraiture, with a littleabstract art thrown in. Anderson expertly guides the student through photography, tracing, lighting effects, and the details of stitching eyes andmouths. Her "features" here also include those of animals. A fine follow-up to Anderson's Faces and Places: Images in Applique (C&T, 1995).

Review

"Walters thinks machine quilting is more fun than cutting or piecing. She amply proves that quilting is "another layer of art" through carefulinstructions in the art of free-motion quilting. Her book is not rule filled: she insists throughout that she's describing what works for her, and sheencourages quilters to experiment to find what works for them. The book falls into three sections. "Getting Started" includes definitions and supplylists; "The Designs" presents 28 patterns of swirls and circles, squares, lines and vines, and arcs and points. The final section on working withdesigns of modern quilts considers designs of squares, zigzags, strips, and off-kilter ("wonky") pieces. Instructions direct quilters step-by-step intext and graphic illustrations, backed by closeup photographs of the designs quilted by Walters. In the final section of tips (followed by a helpfulglossary), Walters exhorts quilters to answer a question to reveal the most important thing about the quilt at hand: the fabric? the piecing? theimage of a child hugging the coverlet? -- Publishers Weekly, (June)

Amazon.com Review

Inspired by her love of fabric, Susan Carlson developed an approach to fabric collage that ultimately resulted in astonishing pictorial fabric art ofrichly layered textures and patterns. Her superb draftsmanship and masterful sense of color yields quilts more akin to painting than piecework.Luckily, she is just as expert at explaining her methods to others as she is at using them herself; the result is a book filled with crisp color imagesof her own work as well as some by her students, along with well-written text that details everything quilters need to know to start using hertechniques. Rather than present specific how-tos to duplicate her designs, she teaches readers all her secrets so they can create their owndesigns, using her amazing works as inspiration. --Amy Handy

Easy-to-follow instructions, vibrantphotographs, and a variety of clever tips make these projects a snap to complete!

Review

Is it the designers, the precuts or all the yummy Moda fabrics that draw us into this book? Oh heck, it's all three! Moda Bake Shop is the blogcommunity set up by Moda to feature "recipes" for creating wonderful fabric treats from Moda's jelly rolls (2 ½" strips), layer cakes (10" squares)and other packs of already cut fabs. Precuts have been all the rage since designers started working with fat quarters and are a wonderful way toget a little bit of a lot of different fabrics, usually from a single designer's collection.

In this case, the quilts are simple and doable (April in Paris is sooo pretty!), but the shine really comes from the other sewn projects. Just a bitmore involved than beginner, Roslyn Mirrington's Jewelry Wallet is so incredibly girly and useful for those of us who travel that our fingers wereitching to make it. Jenny Garland's Zippidy Doodle Bag is practically a no-brainer for kid-accompanied outings. (Skeptical? Just think about howmany shoes you can try on while your 4-year-old works on the Cars 2 coloring book.) And Kimberly Walus' Pack 'N Go Tote with a matchingSewing Kit is a fabulous combo for us sew-types. A perfect buy for gift givers or those of you drowning in precuts.http://generationqmagazine.com/, 7/13/2011

Review

"The brightly-coloured cover draws you into this book which aims to rejuvenate home sewing projects through quilting in colourful and bolddesigns. This is more of a book aimed towards home decorating... There are varied projects ranging from quilts to scarves and needle cases, andwith a good variety in between. Each project has diagrams to assist with the design and layout and colour photographs of the finished objects. Butthe projects themselves are bright and funky and there is a good variety of patchwork techniques to make them all a little out of the ordinary." -Workshop on the Web

"Malka Dubrawsky and Interweave books - what an amazing combination - one of my favourite improv quilters and one of my favourite bookpublishers all rolled up together: Malka's stunning colourful designs, combined with Interweave's attention to detail - love it - and the bookdelivers! Malka's quilts and patchwork designs are all about colour and pattern. She dyes and over-dyes her own fabric and combines these ineclectic and clashing and fun ways that are part gypsy and part country but the final result is completely modern! Her stitching may be a bitwonky at times and her corners may not meet up perfectly - but for me that not only adds to the charm of these improv quilts but also theaccessibility of her style - she is all about fearless quilting and sewing - just getting in there and doing it. Her fearless style embraces flaws butalso discovers new methods, exciting colour combinations and fantastic designs." - Whipup.net

From the Trade Paperback edition.

Amazon.com Review

Glorious Patchwork represents yet another craft breakthrough for Kaffe Fassett, who has fearlessly conquered the worlds of color knitting,needlepoint, and rug hooking. Here he teams up with quilt designer Liza Prior Lucy to produce a series of color-drenched patchwork designs thathave a powerful impact and a subtle, pleasing symmetry. Fassett's text is chattier and more interesting than in his previous works; he is morecapable of communicating the inspiration he finds in the natural patterns that the rest of us hardly notice. This is a book that will thrill textile andfiber craftspeople.

Allison Harrisunderstands what it's like to have the creative bug for crafting and quilting, and she gives some great advice: from giving your kids scraps offabric to glue on a cut-out cardboard letter, to being realistic and limiting yourself to two projects: one small "faster" project, and one more whichyou might have started a while ago. That way you'll most likely finish the projects that you start! I also really love the projects she's put togetherfor this book because they mix a variety of skill levels and she features quite a few modern designs that I'm attracted to. (connectingthreads.com,June 2013)

Allison Harris presents 16 patchwork projects to make for children in the 'modern quilt' style of large patches, lots of solid fabrics andstraightforward stitching. The book has been designed specifically for busy mums (and grandmothers, aunts and friends) who want to make quiltsfor young children that will be snuggled with, dragged around, made into forts and loved until they are worn and thin. The projects are beginnerfriendly--indeed, Allison makes the point that if you're only just starting out on your quiltmaking journey, these quilts are ideal, as "kids don't careif you make a mistake." Almost half of the projects include instructions for making the quilt in crib and twin, as well as 'baby' size. There are alsochapters on quiltmaking basic. Each quilt is shown in a flat shot as well as in one or more additional photographs, and coloured diagrams areprovided to assist with cutting and assembly. (Australian Homespun Magazine, July 2013)

Black and white patterns provide all the keys necessary toproduce continuous-line quilting results. Midwest Book Review (1/1/11) (Professional Quilter Online, 11/11/10)

Review Source: The Professional Quilter OnlineReview Date: 5/1/11Review Content:Many of the quilting design books on the market specialize indesigns for the longarm quilter. Here is one written also with the domestic machine quilter in mind. Hari Walner, IAPQ Professional Quilt Teacherof the Year for 2006, starts with tips that will make free-motion quilting easier and then offers 80 original continuous line designs. Each patternincludes a photo of the design stitched on fabric, a line drawing to trace and a directional diagram to show you how to stitch it. While the photoand the diagrams are on different pages, they are cross-referenced making it easy to look at the photos and then find the patterns. I was charmedby many of Hari's designs, including her Splendid Swan, Catnap and Nosegay. I loved the visual design index showing thumbnail sizes of eachdesign, making it easy to find the perfect pattern for your quilt. You'll also appreciate the enlargement/reduction chart for scaling the design foryour quilt.

Impressionist Applique: Exploring Value & Design to Create Artistic Quilts

Author: Errea, Grace.

Category: Appliqué

Keywords: Quilting, Appliqué, Color in textile crafts



Grace Errea and Meridith Osterfeld share their art quilting expertise by demonstrating the impact of value on a quilt--it creates a focal point,develops dimensionality, changes a mood, and creates a painterly effect. Explore the unexpected and making your quilt becomes a dream-likeexperience where the sea ebbs and flows in shades of fire, and feathered creatures evoke cotton candy softness. Includes full-size patterns for 5projects and features 3 appliqué techniques: turned-edge, raw-edge, and free-edge.

Review

A very unusual and intriguing book. It's not a series of projects, although patterns and guidelines for making five quilts - including the swan shownon the front cover - have been included. This is more a primer on the method that Grace and Meredith use to plan their work before starting toactually cut or sew fabric. Their very strong emphasis is on value and they take a highly analytical, almost mathematical approach that we believewill appeal to quiltmakers who feel most comfortable with plans, structure and precision. We might have expected working in this way would leadto exacting geometric quilts, but Grace and Meredith's quilts are quite "painterly" landscapes and animal portraits that are absolutely stuffing. --Australian Homespun; no.108 vol.13 no.5

Would you like to discover what the secret is to a show-stopping art quilt? If so, read on! Setting out to make a quilt is like embarking on ajourney; filled with unexpected surprises, some frustration and, hopefully a really satisfying end product. To quote the chinese proverb of Lao-tzu'A journey of a thousand miles beings with one little step' and this book encourages you to join the journey and take pleasure in a piece of workthat reflects your visions and dreams. There are 5 projects with full-size patterns featuring three appliqué styles: turned edge, raw edge and freeedge, so you can choose the method of appliqué that you are most comfortable with. One of the most interesting elements of this book, for me, isthe instruction on how valie creates a focal point, develops dimension and lends a painterly effect to your quilt. This book is more than just anappliqué instruction book.--Jennifer Trollope, Fabrications Quilting for You; 06/26/12

The beguiling beauty of Grace Errea's appliqué quilts demonstrates that her emphasis on the use of value in design achieves incredible results.WRitten with the help of Meridith Osterfield, she gives invaluable advice on creating successful compositions and well-illustrated instructions forthree appliqué techniques. Patterns for five quilt projects are included, along with suggestions for changing the colors and values for differenteffects and information on quilting and finishing a quilt.--Kit Robinson, Machine Quilting Unlimited; 06/26/12

Review

For many quilters, the quilting is secondary to the piecing of the quilt top. In her second book, Walters makes a strong argument for theimportance of quilting to make beautiful patchwork shine.

VERDICT Like her first book, the style is friendly and pleasant, and Walters's gentleguidance will help increase quilters' confidence in their machine-quilting abilities.(Library Journal, 11/15/12)

11 lessons help quilters break out of the block and create quilts with a whole new level of artistic freedom.

Editorial Reviews

You'd think after 27 books, Jean would run out of ideas. But for some reason, we think she's just getting' started! In Intuitive, Jean explores lineand color 'a la art quilt style, and she seduces us into carrying our cameras everywhere. We've seen this before: the transition from stronglytraditional quilting pioneer to raging freewheeling artiste (Gwen Marston and Joen Wolfrom come to mind). It's an absolute joy to see someonewhom we think has set quilting down in narrow parameters break out and do so much more. And she cops to it! Intuitive isn't about breakingrules so much as bending them. We've always thought the testament of a real master is the ability to learn the rules and then manipulate them ashis or her needs. Jean, we're on our knees, sister. Should you buy this book? When you're ready to break out of your Sawtooth Star rut, turn toJean. She'll move you to quilt horizons you didn't now existed. - Quilter's Home

In Japanese Taupe Quilts, acclaimed textile artist Susan Briscoe offers a wealth of tips, techniques, and ideas for both the beginner and theexperienced quilter. The block patterns have been drafted from a variety of traditional block sources, including Japanese fabric, paper andarchitectural designs, and kamon family crests. For each block there is a photograph, a clear instructional diagram or template, fabric palette andcutting guide, as well as detailed instructions for making the block. At-a-glance icons indicate skill level and techniques used. Patchwork, appliqué,embellishment, and quilting techniques are clearly explained with step-by-step photographs, from cutting out to finishing off.

The blocks can be mixed and matched, tessellated for allover patterns, or combined into sampler quilts. Combination ideas are suppliedthroughout the block directory, together with six simple projects — a pillow, lap quilt, tote bag, table runner, wall hanging and satchel handbag —to inspire readers to create exquisite quilts in the distinctive Japanese taupe style.

Quilting's rock star Fassett takes his bold color palette to Skansen Museum, an outdoor collection of period houses in Stockholm. A quarter of thebook contains photos of the quilts in the museum setting, adding an imaginative context of color, history, and detail. Quilt designs are fromFassett and a team of elite designers, including Liza Prior Lucy, with experience levels from novice to advanced. An additional feature describesand illustrates with photos the process by which Fassett designed several of the quilts featured in the book, providing insight into his designinstincts.

Kaleidoscopes & Quilts

Author: Nadelstern, Paula Del.


Keywords: Patchwork--Patterns, Kaleidoscopes in art



For internationally renowned quiltmaker Paula Nadelstern, the word kaleidoscope “promises surprise and magic, change and chance.�?Nadelstern (born 1951) has spent over two decades capturing in cloth the excitement of the ever-changing relationships of color, pattern, lightand texture of kaleidoscope images.

Nadelstern’s dazzling quilts employ crystalline patterns composed of painstakingly assembled slivers of jewel-like fabrics. Her creations encompassscience, history and artistic tradition. This exhibition places the artist’s quilts within a historical context for the first time, exploring thekaleidoscope’s impact on the decorative arts, including quilts, and the intimate relationship between Nadelstern’s quilts and the art of thecontemporary kaleidoscope.Editorial Reviews

The kaleidoscope was invented in 1816 by Sir Davis Brewster and was originally intended as a design tool for artists, though it later attained wideruse as a children's toy. Nadelstern has used the kaleidoscope as a take-off point for the breathtakingly gorgeous quilts featured in this book. Thisis a personal book dedicated to one purpose: teaching techniques for making kaleidoscope quilts that the author had to learn through trial anderror. If, along the way, that same reader is entertained by Nadelstern's wit, so much the better. Recommended for all textile collections. - LibraryJournal

Keywords: Burch, Laurel--Themes, motives, Appliqué Patterns, Quilts, Animals



Celebrated artist Laurel Burch's signature style translates into quilts you'll love. 12 projects use all your favorite techniques - appliqué, embroidery,fabric painting, stamping, stenciling, and more!

Amazon.com Review

The many devoted fans of Laurel Burch's art are drawn to her whimsical creatures rendered in richly saturated colors. In Laurel Burch Quilts:Kindred Creatures, the artist's followers will find 12 projects based on her endearing, instantly recognizable designs. Most of the projects are wallhangings (though there's also a picture frame and a bed cover) and most rely on fused and machine-stitched appliqué, along with occasionalfabric painting. Complete, enlargeable patterns are given for each design; however, directions are quite sketchy and beginners are told to consultintroductory guides. But Burch devotees who just can't get enough should enjoy these designs, which of course can be adapted to various mediaother than fabric. --Amy Handy

Review

This is almost a pure project book and I wouldn't even have picked it up if Frances and Sandy hadn't talked about it over and over. Frances hasdefinitely picked my favorites out of the quilts in this book.

One pattern I can't get out of my mind is Stepping Stones, pg.72-79. It is one of the more complex patterns and includes four patches. If I madeit, I would want to use fabric on hand, so I have spent some commute time daydreaming about various color variations, whether I would startcutting 10" squares and then start the quilt when I was done or what.

There is a lot to like about this book. There are a variety of patterns for every skill level. The authors clearly state how many precuts are neededto make the quilt. A lot of the quilts have colors that really appeal to me, but there are also reproduction and more muted fabrics used, so that thebook covers a lot of bases in terms of tastes in fabric. Each quilt is made twice with the second quilt using very different fabrics. I like this aspect,because it is hard for me not to be influenced by the fabric choices in the photos. Seeing a second quilt in different colors reminds me to thedesign of the quilt rather than the colors.

I liked the border on the Raspberry Ripple quilt (pg.14-17) because it has the 'self-bordering' effect that I like so much. High Flying Geese (pg.30-35) is very similar to Serendipity Puzzle, a classic Dutchman's Puzzle pattern. The colors are so fresh and appealing in the Lintott version that Iwould consider making another version just because of that freshness.

Some of the blocks are so easy and so large that you could do a quilt really quickly. Those quilts don't appeal to me. some of the photos aren'tvery crisp. I was disappointed in the photo of Damask Rose (pg.48-53), because the piecing is very hard to see with the fabrics the authors chose.This is one of the more complicated quilts and I would want to show off the piecing. This is one of the few quilts in the book that does not have asecond colorway.

Hexagon Hip Hop (pg.64-71) is version of a hexagon quilt, like Attack of the Hexies, but using half hexagons. It has a really interesting and wellthought out border. I also like that the second colorway shows how nice a gift a hexagon quilt would make that special guy in your life.

There are small introductions to each quilt, which are similar, if not as detailed, as the color stories in The Gentle Art of Quiltmaking. They suggestother options, talk about the fabrics chosen and encourage the quiltmaker, as in the description of Little Houses (pg.102-109) where the piecesare on the small side.

If you want a wide variety of patterns to use with Jelly Rolls and other precuts, then you might enjoy this book.

Editorial Reviews

A well-known quiltmaker/teacher and the author of 16 books on the art of quilting, Marston calls string quilts the " `Jackson Pollacks' of textiles,as spontaneous, vibrant, and dramatic as his paintings." Traditional string quilts were made with narrow pieces of fabric usually left over fromother projects and sewn to a foundation block, sometimes in an orderly manner but more often in an impromptu flurry of fabric strings. This bookis at once a history of traditional string quiltmaking and an exposition of new methods of construction developed by the author in an effort toavoid tedious foundation-bound quilts. Twenty string-pieced projects lead the reader through Marston's methods for working with short strings,long strings, rectangles, and fabric wedges. A gallery of antique string quilts provides the reader with additional ideas. Recommended for allquilting collections.

ReviewI wish I lived closer to Ms. Pederson so I could learn in person from her. She has a GREAT book and the way it is written makes me ready tomachine appliqué.Her book starts out like many quilting books --- talking about the tools you need to do it. BUT what her book has that I have never found in anyother is a GREAT explanation of machine needle sizes and thread sizes. I now understand it and will keep her book handy for when I forget whatshe said. (Old age does that to you! hehe)Another thing I have never found in quilting books is something called The Brooklyn Revolver. As she says it is not a gun but a very handy tool forgluing up many small pieces of applique.21 pages on getting ready to appliqué instructions begin Ms. Pederson's book and you should read every word if you are a beginner appliquéer. Ifyou are a more experienced one, then you should read every word because I know you will find a tip or two you didn't know before.There are ten different quilt patterns and each has a paragraph about the quilt before the rest of the instructions are given. The material andcutting lists are clear and easy to follow. The step-by-step instructions for assembling the blocks have graphics to help you visualize what you arecreating. Templates are provided although some need to be enlarged. And the assembly and finishing instructions complete the patterns.There are, of course, color photos of each quilts and the finished quilt size is also provided. The final two pages are a resource list and anoverview of the author. So, grab a copy and start appliquéing! --Barbara Lyn, Viewpoints.com

This is an excellent introduction to machine applique with comprehensive advice on needles and thread (there is a useful chart). The author hasdeveloped her own individual methods, she uses invisible sticky tape, not pins, to secure her work and "rubber glue" when she works with freezerpaper.

Magic Stack-N-Whack Quilts

Author: Reynolds, Bethany S.


Keywords: Patchwork--Patterns, Quilting--Patterns, Kaleidoscopes in art



Working with medium- to large-scale prints, quilters can create dynamic pieced blocks without hours of planning and precision cutting. Thekaleidoscope effects occur spontaneously, thanks to the ingeniously simple 'Stack-n-Whack® cutting technique. By stacking identical repeats offabric, quilters can efficiently cut the pieces needed for all the blocks. Each block will be unique and unexpected, keeping the quilting experiencefresh and exciting! With over 200 how-to illustrations and dozens of color plates. Designs include the classic LeMoyne Star, Hybrid Lilies,Kaleidoscope Pinwheel, Hexagon Star, Diamond Ring, Morning Star, and others, all pieced with construction methods that eliminate set-in seamsand ensure quick, successful results.

Amazon.com Review

Kaleidoscope quilts are one of the show-off pieces of a quilter's repertoire. They're judged not only on how perfectly the pieces are sewn to a pointin the middle, but also on the cutting: if each piece isn't cut from exactly the same part of the pattern on the fabric, the effect is spoiled. Thetraditional way of making kaleidoscope blocks involves a special window template, much exaggerated care in cutting--and too often, much wastedfabric. Reynolds's revolutionary method of measuring and marking pattern repeats on the fabric, then cutting all the pieces for the kaleidoscope atonce, is more precise, much less time consuming and wasteful, and keeps quilters from being slaves to the cutting process. Reynolds leads thereader smoothly through the process for half-square triangles, 45- and 60-degree triangles, and 45- and 60-degree diamonds. Magic Stack-n-Whack Quilts is an essential addition to the library of any quilter who's interested in the endless design possibilities in kaleidoscopes, stars,pinwheels, and hexagons. --Barrie Trinkle

Make It, Take It: 16 Cute and Clever Projects to Sew with Friends

Author: Hennebury, Krista.

Category: Patterns

Keywords: Sewing, Textile crafts, Patchwork--Patterns, Quilting--Patterns



This is a wonderful collection of projects to sew - some to help you stay organised, and some just for fun! Make It, Take It features 16 fabulousprojects in two categories - practical items for staying organized, and projects to sew just for fun. With expert advice and easy-to-followinstructions, these projects are perfect for making with friends and in classes.

Review

One of quilting's greatest strengths as a hobby can also be a great weakness for those of us who love socialising; it can be, by its very nature, avery solitary pursuit. Quilting groups and retreats are more popular than ever, however, and this encouraging trend is often overlooked by manypublications. We're hard pressed to recall more than three books we've recently reviewed that really cater for the social aspect of our craft.However, Make It, Take It addresses quilting with friends admirably, presenting sixteen projects designed to be useful for quilting get-togethers.From the oversize tote bag, to smaller but no less useful items such as the scissors holder and crafter's apron, there are enough non-quilt projectsin here to keep things varied and interesting, and the quilts themselves are gorgeous, particularly Lynne Goldsworthy's Lone Star Circle Quilt. Thebook's contributors stress how wonderful it is to quilt in like-minded company, and we thoroughly agree. A terrific book, well worth poring overwith some friends and a cuppa! --Popular Patchwork, Bag Special Issue 2015

Krista Hennebury was so taken with her first quilting retreat - sewing, learning, relaxing, more sewing and eating food prepared by someone else -that she has been to over 50 of them and has now been running her own retreats for the last 10 years. Wonderful days away from family andwork commitments are a great way to relax and really get some sewing done in an atmosphere of friendship and fun. The 16 projects in this bookare planned with retreats in mind, either for work to do while there or for things to take and use. An equipment tote, needle clutch, pillow, apronwith pockets for equipment, thread catcher - from the entirely practical to full quilts, table runner and placemats - you'll find a use for them all.Krista assures us that her project-specific tips and tricks enable sewists (isn't that a better word than sewers?) of any level will be able to makeany of these lovely items. If you are thinking of a retreat, this book will provide all the inspiration you'll need. --Online Quilt Magazine, April 2015

The accurate marking of quilts so as to preserve the fabric to be quilted and to create a welcoming canvas for quilting stitches is a very importantpart of quiltmaking--one that is usually only briefly touched upon in quilting books. Mastering Quilt Marking is the first book to cover the entireprocess in detail, including finding a design for the quilt top, choosing the right marking tools, obtaining stencils, marking the top, and matchingborders and corners. Particularly interesting are chapters on making your own quilting stencils, preserving designs found on old quilts, and theprocess of quilting from the quilt-show judge's perspective.

(Machine Quilting Unlimited, June 2012)

You got your longarm, now what? Many books offer lots of quilting designs. Gina Perkes does that, too, but she actually helps you get to thestages where you can use the designs. She starts with step-by-step instructions from finding design inspiration and selecting the appropriatedesign all the way to blocking and binding the quilt. I loved all the tips throughout the book, eg printing a large color photo of your quilt to sketchdesigns on it, how to build a lightbox, how to use clear tablecloth vinyl to draft border designs, and how to add additional measurements to theleaders to help maintain a square quilt. Since longarm quilters are thread lovers, Gina includes a chapter on choosing and using thread, includingtroubleshooting. In addition to quilting designs shown throughout the text, she includes 40 original quilting designs. If you are new to yourlongarm, or more experienced, I think this is a great reference.(The Professional Quilter Magazine, 08/01/12)

Review

Modern Minimal is perfect for anyone who has been admiring the bold modern quilts that use mainly solid fabrics, but been too timid to attemptone. With a wonderful take on graphic quilts, author Alissa Haight Carlton helps readers get over their fear of negative space on a quilt top. Thereare chapters on both white negative space and colorful negative space. Her projects feature stylish yet deceivingly simple quilt patterns. With anentire chapter dedicated to improvisational piecing, readers learn how to master the art of randomness. As an added bonus, each of the 20patterns has two suggestions from Carlton on how to quilt your piece. For those interested in graphic quilts, this is a must-have book.(Modern Patchwork)

The Modern Quilt movement is taking hold and is getting the lion's share of credit for bringing younger quilters into the world of quilting. AlissaHaight Carlton's book Modern Minimal presents instructions for creating 20 beautiful, colorful, graphic and modern quilts. If you have wanted totry your hand at creating a 'modern' style quilt I highly recommend you start here. Modern quilts are different in that they are not built block byblock as in a traditional quilt. Alissa's method of imagining the quilt as a whole and using just a few yards of beautifully colored solid fabric allowsfor fast cutting and easy assembly. These type of quilts provide greater areas for quilting and the book covers both machine and hand quiltinginstructions. Beginner stitchers will achieve a sense of instant satisfaction because these quilts are put together using the 4 inch seam allowanceand straight edge stitching. No complicated and often frustrating curves, triangle and other shapes to deal with. The basic quilt instructionsincluded everything you need to know to make a quilt, from tools to how to assemble the quilt sandwich and finally quilting your quilt and addingthe binding. Each project provides easy to understand cutting and stitching instructions as well as two suggestions on different way to quilt thepiece. Give this book to someone you know just starting out or treat yourself and add a new quilt style to your quilting arsenal.(The AppliqueSociety, 07/10/12)

Editorial Reviews

Modern quiltmaking has copped some criticism from traditionalists for being simplistic and unstructured, suitable only for people who don't havegood basic quiltmaking skills. Elizabeth Hartman, one of the prime movers and shakers of the modern quiltmaking school, rejects this assessmentand argues that it's about embracing a clean, bold , graphic aesthetic rather than following a previously established set of rules. That said, shedoes acknowledge that a lot of the patterns that have been published to date for modern quilts have been quite elementary. So she's branchedout and designed a set of patterns for intermediate-level quiltmakers that promote precision piecing and thoughtful fabric selection, and introducesnew technical challenges. Instructions are provided for 12 projects, requiring skills such as curved piecing, working with hexagons (shown on thefront cover) and diamond shapes, machine applique using interfacing and using templates. --Australian Homespun, 09/18/12

From the Author

Are you ready for More Quick Watercolor Quilts? These quilts are as easy as everyone has been telling you. Jump in with my new book. Start withsome of the smaller projects such as the placemats, or make a wallhanging from one of the twelve blocks from the Garden Sampler quilt.

My favorite project, especially for beginners, is the Blooming Hedges quilt. This watercolor Trip Around the World style of quilt takes a few fabricsand makes a gorgeous quilt from four identical panels. My students enjoyed quick results and seeing how different colors dominate as the blocksare rearranged. When using fusible interfacing you preview the blend of fabrics before you are committed to the quilt. You can make adjustments:swap rows, add another fabric, or more rows of one and less of another. The good news is once you've ironed down your design you can comeback to it easily. The next time your schedule allows you just pick up where you left off. New fabric selection tips and photos guide you inchoosing just a few fabrics to combine for a fresh look to traditional quilts.

Buy the book just to learn how to piece equilateral triangles using fusible interfacing. Imagine all those 60-degree triangle patterns you can donow with up to 85% fewer seams. With interfacing bias edges are stabilized and matching points is improved. Bring on the triangle designs!

Review

Disclaimer: OK. I was sold on this book the minute I saw the title. I am a sucker for any book that will help me get rid of clutter and organize mystudio.

The Skinny: Here you'll find ideas for identifying what causes clutter, setting goals to deal with it, and organizing what's left. Oh, did I forget thebest part? Here it is: How to maintain the organization. (That's the part that gets me every time.) The book is filled with ideas: for what you need(good lighting, temperature, electrical system, and sound control are musts), storing your stash so you can use it, handling all the tools andtrappings (books, magazines, UFOs) of quilting, and maintaining your space. There's a section that deals with quilting-on-the-go (ideas for thosewho participate in workshops and retreats) and another that talks about storage and display.

Bottom line: I got some great ideas (room design, better lighting, fabric storage, packing for retreats), inspiration (to clean up my space anddonate what I'm not using), and (my favorite) maintaining the space in an orderly way.

Here's a practical guide to help you organize and maintain your quilting space, no matter what size it is. Learn handy ways to sort and arrangefabrics and supplies into easy-to-use stations.

Painless Borders [Aug 01, 1992] Schneider, Sally

ReviewsThis book gave clear concise directions for unique borders that I haven't found in other quilt books. My pet peeve for other books is showing theauthor's quilts; then giving directions for much simpler quilts. The quilts in the quilt gallery are all explained! The quilts are quite pretty and yeteasy to make. If I have only one suggestion, it would be to cross-reference the photos of each quilt with its b/w directions. The ideas in this bookwill be used in several of my upcoming quilts!

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

I live in Hawaii, surrounded by exuberant tropical flowers and an azure blue ocean. Inspiration abounds right out the door of my studio, where ourgarden overflows with bananas, plumeria, giant heliconia, and a host of native and exotic plants. I've been a gardener most of my life, and quiltingis an extension of my passion for plants. I am compelled to make quilts that reflect the beauty and diversity of the Islands. In keeping with thepolyglot culture of Hawaii, I like to mix up quilt traditions--a Tahitian curved border, a Japanese wave design, and the symmetry of Hawaiianquilts. I was introduced to Japanese design, Sashiko, and the fine art of quiltmaking by my mother, Kitty Pippen, who has been my inspiration andmentor all my life. I love to teach and introduce Sashiko to students of all ages. When I lived on the west side of Kauai, I taught weekly classes atNana's House, where students from the age of 8 to 80 gathered to create their own Sashiko designs. Breaking from Japanese Sashiko tradition,they wanted to work in lots of color and use designs that reflected life in Hawaii, such as hukilaus of tropical fish caught up in a Sashiko net, orfragrant butter-yellow plumeria. From my wonderful students, I learned how to work with diverse ages, abilities, and the true meaning of aloha. Iencourage you to use Sashiko not only as a teaching tool but also for your own artistic expression. As you can see, Sashiko can be adapted to anydesign. And remember, it isn't how perfect your stitches are but how much you enjoy the journey along the way.

Review

There seem to be a lot of crafting books aimed at beginners - and it's wonderful to think that more people are being introduced to the joys ofmaking things from fabric and thread. Even experienced crafters enjoy whipping up something relatively simple and straight forward from time totime. This book, however, is aimed fairly and squarely at quiltmakers who are looking for a challenge (although, even then, the publishers couldn'tresist including the word easy on the front cover!). Myers provides instructions and full-size foundations for 16 paper-/foundation-pieced quiltsusing the pineapple, LeMoyne Star, Mariner's Compass and fan blocks. The quilts on the front cover is not one of the - it's only included as part ofa gallery of Myers' quilts; it is, however, indiciative of the style of project included in the book. (.

By Erika Carter - 8x11" 111 pages profusely color illustrated. This book is an in-depth look at the development of one quilt artist, Erika Carter. Inthe introduction on page 6 Rick Gottas of the American Art Company says, "Few works of art are more satisfying to see installed than ErikaCarter's fine art quilts." Behind these words is a picture of a gallery show revealing four of Erika's quilts. The effect is amazing, more beautiful tothe eye than almost any gallery show I have attended.Erika's style is incredibly painterly in style, to the point where on her latest quilts I have to look hard to see how she's achieved her results withfabric. Her designs are colorful, but as the years go by they become progressively more subtle. It's fascinating to watch as she moves fromtraditional patchwork to strips of trapezoids, delicate lines suggesting trees and grass until her most recent and incredibly delicate work with thesoftest of colors.Although the book contains no how-to instructions, any quilter interested in art quilts will gather ideas. This is the sort of book to keep by the bedor bath, to study at leisure.

Review

Anyone interested in creating pictorial quilts based on photos would benefit from this book. Leni takes the reader through all the steps of creatingan art quilt from making and printing a pattern to finishing your work. Along the way she shares valuable information on color, value, and fabricselection, as well as tricks for creating common elements used in landscapes and portraits. (Machine Quilting Unlimited, November/December2014)

Nothing is as charming as capturing a loved one or a special place in a quilt. If you have always wanted to do just that, but didn't know where tostart, then Leni Levenson Wiener's book Pictorial Art Quilt Guidebook: Secrets to Capturing Your Photos in Fabric has most of the answers you arelooking for. Leni says "throw away your color wheel" then proceeds to tell you just what you need to know about color and value. You will alsoenjoy her take on fabric, building your stash and when to use what pattern or print. Work from your favorite photo or, to begin with, use thecomplete patterns and instructions included for two projects found in the book. Everything you need to know to create your own art quilt iscovered in this well thought out book. Leni even offers links to free software that will help you design your pattern. Leni's method uses freezerpaper for the pattern pieces and once cut they are glued in place with just a tiny dot of fabric glue. Once finished you will need to decide if youwant to add batting or not. There are instructions for stretching your piece onto canvas stretchers. (The Applique Society Newsletter, 11/3/14)

I have a fondness for collage, and this highly usable, user-friendly guidebook teaches you how to take a photo and translate it into a fabriccollage. Leni Weiner's premise is that the photo frees her from figuring out the proportions, perspective, light and shadows. Using a photo, Lenicreates a full-size pattern, traces sections onto freezer paper and uses the pieces to cut fabric. (One tip Leni shares is to use the free programGIMP to work with your photos.) Leni divides the book into three sections. First, you will learn about color (without needing your color wheel),value, print and scale. She has a wonderful value scale of gradations in gray, from white to black, so you can identify what value your fabric is.

Quilt As-You-Go Made Modern: Fresh Techniques for Busy Quilters

Keywords: Patchwork quilts, Patchwork--Patterns, Quilting--Patterns, Machine sewing--Technique



Do you believe rules were meant to be broken? If so, this improvisational quilt-as-you-go technique is for you. Instead of dealing with precisepaper patterns and cutting measurements, you'll learn how to piece fabric onto small, manageable batting blocks. Let your creative juices flow asyou quilt directly on the blocks (not the entire quilt!), whether in large abstract zigzags or small structured stitches. After the blocks have beenjoined, all you need to do is add backing fabric and binding, and voilà it's finished!

Review

Quilting is easier than ever with Jera Brandvig's modern spin on the popular quilt-as-you-go technique. With this method, you will learn how topiece fabric on to small, manageable batting blocks, instead of using precise paper patterns and cutting measurements. Find your creativity as youquilt directly on the blocks (not the whole quilt!), whether in large abstract zigzags or small structured stitches. After the blocks have been joined,all you need to do is add backing fabric and binding, and your work is finished! (Modern Quilts Unlimited, Fall 2014)

Quilt-as-you-go (QAYG) is one of those techniques that every quilter is curious about trying, but can be daunting as the process is so different tothe traditional process of making a quilt top and then quilting it. Having recently completed a QAYG quilt in record time, I'm a convert to theprocess, so finding this book by Jera of Quilting in the Rain was perfect timing.The book introduces the technique very thoroughly, so you canclearly understand the difference between traditional piecing and quilting and QAYG. Then there's a great selection of gorgeous quilts that aresure to appeal to the modern quilter. A must if you've ever thought about trying QAYG and haven't had a clue where to start. (Make ModernMagazine, September 2014)

This method combines patchwork and quilting together as most of the quilting is worked in small areas. The fabric pieces are sewn directly ontocotton punched wadding which is cut 1-1/2" bigger than the finished block. There is no backing at this stage, only two layers are quilted. Thequilted blocks are then trimmed to the correct size. After the blocks are joined together a backing fabric is attached, with minimal quilting, beforebinding the edges. (British Patchwork & Quilting, February 2015)

Amazon.com Review

More a vibrant parade of richly hued celebration quilts than a straightforward instructional guide, Mary Lou Weidman's Quilted Memories:Celebrations of Life seeks to inspire quilters and would-be quilters to "increase their creativity quotient." To this end Weidman offers a number ofhelpful pep talks on gaining artistic confidence, working in a supportive atmosphere, and finding life events to immortalize in fabric. She gives avery general nod to working with color, choosing backgrounds, and adding fun embellishments like buttons and lace. The nine "projects" areactually just pattern templates of finished quilts; no real instructional guidance is presented other than a very brief list of extremely basicdirections. What makes the book a pleasure to peruse are the dozens of intensely colorful, joyfully primitive quilts that fill the pages, produced byboth the author herself and her circle of talented quilters. These delightful creations not only mark events as important as birthdays, weddings,new babies, and official holidays, they also celebrate such seemingly inconsequential but no less quilt-worthy happy memories as a snowy familyouting, an afternoon in Grandma's garden, or a sunny day at the beach. --Amy Handy

Review

Those who have seen one of Gloria Loughman's award-winning masterpiece quilts and wondered how she did it should buy a copy of this book.It's a fabulously generous resource of guidance on an array of techniques that Gloria uses in her work to such great effect - a veritable workshopin print if you will. Lots of close-up photographs and line drawings illustrate the detailed explanations of her methods. A gallery of student workproves that anyone can make a Gloria Loughman-like quilt, and step-by-step instructions and full-size patterns are included for four smallwallhangings so you can too. This book is a very generous gift of knowledge and skills from someone who is a genuine master quiltmaker: simplysensational. (. Australian Homespun Magazine, 9/1/2010)

Australian artist Gloria Loughman has created a comprehensive and thorough guide for quilters just entering the arena of abstract art and design.Both theory and hands-on technique are discussed, and the opening chapters guide the reader thought the basic considerations of design,composition, and color schemes, as well as how to find inspiration in your everyday surroundings. Loughman also leads readers through theconstruction process step by step; however the author's technical advice goes beyond basic construction to include unusual applique shapes,mosaics, beading, fabric painting, and decorative stitching. A variety of binding and finishing techniques are presented at the end. Also includedare four specific projects that enable readers to put their new skills to use (a pull-out pattern section includes the full-size patterns for the fourprojects). Beginning art quilters will no doubt be inspired by Loughman's simple but thorough instructions - as well as the impressive photo galleryof her students' work - while more advanced practitioners may find a new technique to incorporate into their own work. (Quilting Arts Magazine,June 1, 2010 Quilting Arts Magazine, June 1, 2010)

Gloria's introduction to the principles and elements of design and her demonstrations of ways in which representational pictures can be abstractedare a wonderful preface to her instructions on drawing out an abstracted design, preparing the fabric and constructing the final art quilt. Machineapplique and quilting plays an important part in creating texture and visual interest in the quilt and several options are explored. Four projectsusing Gloria's techniques, complete with patterns, are included to get you started on your way. (Machine Quilting Unlimited, July 1, 2010 MachineQuilting Unlimited, July 1, 2010)

Included in the book are concepts of the color wheel and some of the colorpossibilities; transparency, where it looks like you can see through overlapping fabrics; luminosity (about quilts that glow); value (whether thefabrics are light or dark); color temperatures (warm or cool); using fabric patterns and textures and lots more.The book is planned for groups of people to get together and work with colors together, but Barnes tells you how you can work on color byyourself (a group of one!). I think that even a small quilt guild could work through this book together. Again, wow!" -Bowers, Judy, 3/1/11

"If you need guidance on colour, and most of us do, you'll find it in this book. Learn about value, intensity and also creating transparency in yourwork. Twelve exercises will help you to explore your new knowledge and see how it works in practice. There is also guidance on how to start acolour club. You can also work with the book as an individual on your own. The samples of work are wonderful, encouraging and inspirational. Theguidance is clear and easy to follow with exercises that anyone can try. The projects include a quilted sleeveless jacket. Instructions, projects,gallery score on all counts. This is a great book, recommended for any quilter with more than a passing interest in colour." -Review by Karen Platt

Quilters Playtime: Games with Fabrics

Author: Hire, Dianne S..


Keywords: Quilting--Miscellanea, Quilts--Design, Educational games



This book revives the exhilaration and joy of playing childhood games with a medley of spirited quilt projects. These games are played at thesewing machine with thread, vibrant fabric, and an open mind. It's okay to be a rule-breaker in these games. A strict code of 1/4 inch seamallowances, impeccable grain lines, perfect color matches, and flawless points is not enforced with these playful projects. Elements of design, suchas proportion and scale, balance, rhythm, and focus, will become second nature with the author's fun approach. The quilt projects include livelyfavorites such as Pin the Tail on the donkey, Tic-Tac-Toe, Ring Around the Rosy, and Hopscotch. Each project has three sections: the Object ofthe Game, Game Plan, and Your Move. All provide instructions for creating the quilts. As you are guided through making a mock-up of the game,forming your own version of the quilt becomes recreational. Each game includes photographs of several variations to inspire you. Break free fromthe conventional and discover creative energies that have been there all the time, just waiting to be released.

Review

...By playing games with fabric, quilters can allow themselves to be spontaneous and creative, while creating beautiful quilts. Grab your scrapbasket and get set to enjoy childhood classics like Tic Tac Toe, Pin the Tail on the Donkey, Musical Chairs, Pick-Up Sticks, and Tiddly Winks. Any ofthese fun activities makes a great game to play at quilt guild retreats or meetings -- it s easy to mix and match the free-style unblocks to make agroup quilt. -Quilts with Style, August 2004

Review

As an avid hand quilter, I am always on the lookout for something different in the way of designs. Dorothy Osler's book really hit the spot. It is areview of traditional British and Welsh motifs from antique quilts, something new and refreshing to the American eye. A plus is that Ms. Oslercomments on each one's origin and meaning. She also includes options in the way of size, and slight variations to choose from for the designs. Ifound myself frustrated by the short length of the book. Maybe she can do a Part II?

This is a wonderful book of quilting designs. I especially appreciate the historical information, and also the suggestions for variations on eachpattern. This book really brought a new dimension to my quilting. Highly recommended!

Book by Davis, Jodie, Schiffer, Linda Hampton

Review

Compared to most other foundation piecing books, this is a super bargain! Each block is not only pictured in fabric, but also in a full design so youcan see what the overall effect will be once it is finished (which is great when deciding on fabric placement).In addition, most of the blocks are shown in alternate arragements and have a 4" and 2" size to photocopy (which helps cut down onphotocopying costs and design angst, as it reduces the amount of enlarging/reducing you have to do).The designs range from very basic to the more complex, although there are not any extremely difficult ones. You may find some of the basics arerepeats if you own other foundation piecing books, but the other hundred or so designs you won't have will make it well worth your while. This isa MUST HAVE for any foundation piecer's library!

Keywords: Quilting--Patterns, Quilting--Philosophy, Quiltmakers--Biography



Modern quilting allows artists the freedom to expand on traditions and use fabrics, patterns, colors, and stitching innovatively to create excitingfresh designs. In Quilting with a Modern Slant, Rachel May introduces you to more than 70 modern quilters who have developed their own styles,methods, and aesthetics. Their ideas, quilts, tips, tutorials, and techniques will inspire you to try something new and follow your own creativity --wherever it leads.

From Publishers Weekly

May, a founder of the Boston Modern Quilt Guild, has created an encyclopedia of modern quilting. So-called "modern" quilting labels the latestcategory of quilting, following "traditional" and "art." Modern quilting--admittedly hard to pin down, but proudly inclusive--is a hybrid of the othertwo, resulting in quilts that "perform both a design and functional purpose." May divides her book into seven sections with titles that reflect thewhimsy and experimentation that help define modern quilting, including "A Sense of Play," "Improv," and "For the Love of Color." Within thosechapters, she presents modern quilters ("Meet"), such as Angela Walters, David Butler, and Caro Sheridan; offers directions ("Project") fortechniques like paper piecing and for quilts, like Sherri Lynn Wood's modern t-shirt quilt; and covers history and museums. Sidebars cite quilters'blogs and places to donate quilts, among other information. Crawls at the bottom of pages define words ("Quilt Lingo") and blurbed quotes fromquilters and their blogs are scattered throughout for encouragement. Like a good host, May serves as an enthusiastic introducer, teacher, andcheerleader. (Feb.)

Review

Review Source: Professional Quilter Online Review Date: 2/23/11 Review Content:As long as I'm on a modern theme, I took a look at Quilts MadeModern by Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr, founders of Fun Quilts, a contemporary quilt design firm. The book includes excellent material on designand how to consider all the elements (or layers) of the quilt. The authors offer tips on using fabrics in particular designs. I loved their tip forlooking for fabric in your stash at an online retailer to see how the color looks with fabrics you are considering purchasing. The book includescomplete instructions for making 10 quilts. What I also found valuable was the discussion on why particular fabric and quilting choices work witheach quilt.

The photography in this quilt book is visually stunning and many of the quilt designs are gorgeous. The emphasis is on color, hue, and scale. Theauthors' design principles are fully explained in detail. It is quite evident that the authors are quilting and color theory teachers by the way theyexplain each step so thoroughly from beginning to end in the quilt-making process. An excellent book for a beginner who is not particularlyinterested in quilts that look like their granny made them, although as an intermediate-level traditional quilter, I appreciated some of the hints andrefreshers in techniques and color theory. Many of the quilt designs intrigue me and some may become my projects at some point.

The Design Notes after each quilt pattern and the three additional color variations per quilt further caught my attention. This book is a classicmodern jewel. I was so impressed with it that I bought their Transperancy Quilts book afterwards and was not disappointed. --Donna Keating, July13, 2012

Review The book is full of great and exciting projects, with spectacular design by Deb. However I encountered several issues in using it and getting a quiltmade. I made the quilt pictured on the cover, and let me start by saying that I am quite experienced in making all manner of paper pieced quilts,and quilting and sewing in general. The enclosed pattern CD is a great addition, I wish more quilting books would provide one. But on this CDthere seems to be no way to navigate from one part of it to another. Each time I opened it up to print a pattern piece, there was no way to getback to the menu so I had to close it out, then open it up all over again and go to the next pattern piece, and on an on... Additionally, the CD issecured - which makes sense from a copyright perspective - but you can't save any parts of it to your desktop or a thumb drive for easier access. Ifound that some of the fabric cutting sizes were not accurate, so I had to recut with some added measurement and the other was wasted, and cutdimensions for some were so overly large they resulted in wasted fabric. Color references for fabric were not consistent, in one piece's cuttinginstruction it would be labeled as one color and in another piece's it would be called something else (such as lightest yellow vs. pale yellow. Someof the pattern pieces did not fit together at all, they were simply too small to be eased in adequately - this I found out after paper piecing entirelots of them then having to make alterations and adjustments to to the pattern piece and then remaked them all. Clearly someone did not do agood job of editing or drafting this book. It's a real shame because there are awesome things in this book to make. If you are looking for greatpaper piecing projects I would suggest the great books by Ranae Merrill. Until this book is republished to correct all the problems, it is fairlyuseless and too much effort to use.

In this innovative book, Ford offers step-by-stepinstructions for cutting a fabric stash down to size - quite literally - and provides 20 original patterns for quilts, pillows, table runners, and more.

Ford, the quilter behind the popular Scrap Therapy workshops, brings to print her system for organizing and using scrap fabric--oddly sized piecestoo large for a thrifty quilter to throw away but too small to use in most quilts. After a thorough overview of the system, which involves cuttingscrap fabric into squares of three specific sizes, Ford offers a variety of patterns that use the scraps. The directions are thorough enough forbeginning quilters, and there's intelligent advice throughout. Whether your stash fits in a shoe box or threatens to take over your home, you'll findthis book useful. - Library Journal

Author: Smith, Lura Schwarz.


Keywords: Textile painting, Textile printing, Quilting



Next step in photo quilting use a digital camera to create fabulous, one-of-a-kind printed fabric. 8 projects, 25 techniques.

Review

Lura Schwarz Smith's book is soooo long overdue, but it was worth the wait! She and her National Geographic photojournalist hubby, Kerby C.Smith, have written a great book on working photography into your quilts. By using chemically treated and stabilized fabric sheets, anyone with abasic photo-editing program can print fabric images from an ink jet printer and sew them into quilts. But, really understanding how to do this wellis where Team Smith's magic comes in. (Quilter's Home, June 1, 2010)

Lura Schwarz Smith has perfect timing. Just as quilters are becoming comfortable downloading pictures to their computer - and transferring themto fabric, Lura and Kerby show you how to take it to the next level. Don't let the cover intimidate you! The techniques are well-explained andprogress at a learnable pace. She makes even the spectacular easy! (Checker Distributors, May 17, 2010)

For many, one of the most intimidating aspects of digital quilting is its technological requirements, but the authors of this book quickly put thatfear to rest with their assurance that one need not purchase an abundance of fancy equipment to engage in digital processes. Instead, LuraSchwarz Smith and Kerby C. Smith teach you how to make the most of the camera and printer that you already have. Advice is given on how totake the most effective pictures, how to manipulate these images with basic software, and how to print on fabric sheets. Using fundamentaldesign principles, the authors discuss how to combine your digital fabrics with the prints that are already in your stash, as well as more unusualmaterials like silks and sheers. They also expand beyond the digital realm, encouraging artists to incorporate other surface design techniques intotheir digital quilts using materials such as inks, colored pencils, paint and markers. (Quilting Arts Magazine, June 1, 2010)

This isn't a book to leaf through - it is book to be read from cover to cover. A digital camera, computer software and a printer, and the incredibleknowledge in this book are the tools need to make stunning quilts. The technical pat is presented so that it will not scare even the techno-peasants amount us. Schwarz Smith, award-winning art quilter, and Smith, a National Geographic photojournalist, share all their professionalsecrets. There is an amazing amount of information between the covers of this book. (Stevii Graves, Journal of the International Quilt Association,July 2010)

Review

In this guide to free-spirited fabric collage, Susan Carlson begins by chronicling her struggles to achieve a less restricted approach in her work.She proceeds to share the discoveries that transformed her technique through a series of projects (each accompanied by a pattern) that increasein difficulty, gradually acclimatizing the reader to her unique method of quilt construction. The first project is a simple spiral quilt, constructedusing the essential components of Carlson's approach: drawing an underlying image, selecting fabrics, and gluing them in place. More complexprojects include a sun and moon portrait, a beta fish design, and a mandala quilts. Carlson's instructions go far beyond methodical, step-by-stepdirections as she includes anecdotes about her personal experiences, design advice, and ideas for how to make your collaged quilts unique. Theartist's gallery at the end of the book, full of vibrantly colorful quilts inspired by a wide variety of subjects (from freshly caught fish to smilingpumpkins and beetles), will undoubtedly inspire you to loosen up your collage approach as well.

The clear, visual lessons help you to 'let go of the rules' and Susan's free-hand cutting techniques guide you to turn cast-off fabric piecesinto new design discoveries. (Fabrications, 10/2010)

Shadow Trapunto Quilts: Simple Steps, Remarkable Results, 30 Elegant Projects

Author: Grama, Geta.


Keywords:



Author Geta Grama's passion for fabrics, color and patterns is contagious! You'll be captivated by the elegance and grace of these intricate-lookingshadow trapunto quilts--especially once you discover how simple they are to make. The book features 30 projects (postcards, pillows,tablerunners, and wallhanging quilts) with wholecloth, pieced, or appliqué backgrounds, and a variety of shapes, squares, circles, hexagons,octagons, and 12-sided (dodecagon). Patterns to enlarge are given in the book and full-size patterns are on the CD.

Review

Achieve old-world style with this innovative technique, which combines the expertise of trapunto with shadow quilting, giving you two for the priceof one. For those not familiar with trapunto, it is a very old technique whereby you 'stuff' areas of your work to give it greater loft or relief. Thereare 5 layers to the projects in this book as opposed to the normal three in standard quilting. The layers from top to bottom are organza, trapuntomotifs made from batting, background fabric, batting and backing and the white design of the quilt top is made from the organza and trapuntomotifs placed on the familiar quilt sandwich. This is a fascinating read and the starter projects are small enough for anyone to give the technique atry. Try something new today as Jamie Oliver would say!--Jennifer Trollope, Fabrications Quilting for You; 06/26/12

Once you learn a relatively simple technique, explained clearly by the Romanian engineer-turned-quilter author, you'll have a hard time decidingwhich of the 30 elegant projects to start first. Includes a CD with full-size patterns.--American Quilter, September 2012

Geta's amazing quilts have been creating quite a sensation in the quilting world. Her techniques are revealed here with simple step-by-stepinstructions that can be easily followed to create your own shadow trapunto masterpieces.

After laboring over a quilt top, the next challenge is to come up with quilting motifs that complement and enhance all your hard work. Noted longarm quilter Walters is here to help with her engaging new book, detailing quilting designs to fit specifically into squares, triangles, circles,hexagons, and borders. Step-by-step illustrations guide you through each of the motifs and multiple variations. (Quilter's Newsletter, January2015)

Even the most experienced machine quilter sometimes has trouble deciding what sort of a design to quilt. This book is divided into three sections,each addressing a different part of a quilt; blocks, borders and negative space. There are over 70 free-motion quilting designs to use in specificshapes such as squares, circles, triangles, diamonds and hexagons. Section 2 covers negative shape or the background and section 3 borders.Each design is illustrated with a photo and diagrams showing the start/stop points through the entire motif. I love the full-page quilt photos andthe photos of the close-up details of stitched designs. Angela has sprinkled tips throughout the book. There are so many design variations in thisbook that I doubt you will at a loss ever again on deciding what motif to use in your quilt. The quilt designs are shown using specific geometricshapes but you are encouraged to take these designs and modify them to fit your needs. If you can't find what you are looking for in one chapter,look in another where you will find many of the designs used in different ways. Angela's work is always inspiring and I am sure you will be inspiredas well. (The Appliqué Society, November/December 2014)

Shibori: A Beginner's Guide to Creating Color & Texture on Fabric

Author: Caldwell, Lynne.


Keywords:



Book by Caldwell, Lynne

Review I checked out a number of shibori books at the local library. This is the only one I liked so much I decided to purchase it from Amazon!This book was by far the clearest in presenting a variety of simple techniques to get you started on exploring the art of shibori. The book also hasa great 'natural history' of shibori and similar techniques cross-culturally and very clear illustrations of how to do the different techniques with bothpictures of how to prepare the fabric as well as great photos of the actual 'product' you get after dyeing it. I'm a teacher and found this anEXCELLENT, simple and well-organized book if you want to learn about or begin to experiment with shibori techniques

This book has many good basic sections of information on how to make shibori fabrics easily at home. It is clear and concise, with goodillustrations. Very importantly, the author discusses different dye types and methods, which is very important in shibori because, let's face it, we'renot all going to go out into our backyards and indigo dye the old fashioned way. I've been doing shibori for years but I loved this book and foundit full of good ideas.

Simply Seminole : Techniques & Designs in Quilt Making

Author: Hanisko, Dorothy.


Keywords: Patchwork--Patterns, Patchwork quilts, Seminole textile fabrics, Strip quilting



Created by the Native Americans of southern Florida, Seminole strip piecing is based on a simple form of decorative patchwork. It is a quiltingtechnique perfectly geared for today's tools, fabrics, and lifestyles--a technique that rewards busy quilters with magnificent results in record time.And now, with Simply Seminole, quilters who have mastered the basics can even begin designing their own unique bands! Includes 36 designs,complete with instructions and diagrams.


A textile artist whose principal interest is in designing bold, large-scale quilts, Hanisko was never attracted to Seminole patchwork, which sheconsidered too time-consuming. When she realized that the pieced bands of fabric used in traditional Seminole quilting are but a small part of alarger whole, she began using this technique in her own work. Here she teaches speedy techniques of basic strip piecing and methods forincorporating finished bands into the finished quilt. This is not a project book, but Hanisko includes a catalog of Seminole designs for readers' usein their own designs. Recommended for large public libraries and technique-oriented textile collections.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Plus, you'll discover how to use colorand value to make these quilts glow. Includes skill-building techniques from strip piecing to Y-seams.

Review

Are you ready for a triangle extravaganza? Just when you thought you had seen it all as far as the triangle is concerned, up pops another bookwith even more ideas for the use of the humble triangle. This book contains 11 deceptively easy quilts featuring stars, daisies and pinwheels, allwith full instructions on how to create complex-looking designs for any size quilt by combining simple shapes like triangles and diamonds. Thereare also a number of skill-building techniques from strip piecing to the dreaded Y-seam, so here is a good opportunity to extend your repertoire.

(Jennifer Trollope Fabrications Quilting For You, 06/26/12)

Barbara has really done it again! I enjoyed her first book, Star Struck Quilts, which focused on the eight-pointed Lone Star with numerousattractive variations. She continues her exploration of geometric designs using triangles in another well-written and well-illustrated book, SimplyTriangles from C&T Publishing. As the subtitle suggests, the author provides projects using triangles to make stars, daisies (with some clevermachine appliqué), and tessellating pinwheels. Simply Triangles has many valuable quilt book features. Basic quilting supplies are sufficient for theprojects using the provided templates, or two specialty tools that many quilters already own. Detailed instructions for increasingly complexprojects include: hints for fabric selection, color value placement, marking, pinning, piecing and pressing. Especially helpful are step-by-stepphotographs and illustrations for the often dreaded Y-seam and mitered corners. Quilting design suggestions for each project include close-upshots of the author's lovely quilting in finished quilts. Barbara Cline's Simply Triangles is an excellent addition to any quilter's library as a skill-building resource and source of inspiration for future projects. I am eager to try her method of overlaying netting to add a three-dimensionaleffect. Although not a book for novice quilters, I would highly recommend this book to all quilters who want to expand their piecing skills,experiment with color values, and make fascinating quilts with a strong geometric statement.

Review

Like most of you, when I look at a book, I look for value. Even if I love one quilt from it, I tend not to purchase it unless I can enjoy severalprojects. No worries with this one! It's packed with projects that I love. In fact, I want to make nearly every one of the 15 quilts/runners. Just likethe earlier book, this one features a wide variety of big name designers like Linda Lum DeBono, Jane Davila, Jo Morton and more.

I'm usually drawn to contemporary looks and there are plenty here, including the cover project (first on my list) but my favorite is a beautifullytraditional table runner by Joanna of Fig Tree Quilts, with simple houses and Oak Leaf applique. Might be time to redecorate my house in moretraditional looks to make a place for this one! --connectingthreads.com

This book is the second in the series, showcasing 15 skinny quilts/table runners, each by a different designer. There is lots of variety here: simplepiecing, applique, embellishments, and free-hand cutting. All are beautiful projects for many levels of expertise, from traditional to contemporary.Because the quilts are all "skinny" you can try your hand at many new-to-you techniques. --Stick Your Nose in a Book: Quilting Book Reviews byJennifer Zoeterman

Sliver Quilts: 11 Projects • Easy Technique for Dynamic Results

Author: O'Neill, Lisa.


Keywords: Machine quilting--Patterns, Appliqué Patterns



Add fresh, striking dimension and texture to traditional or contemporary quilts with Lisa O'Neill's original "sliver piecing" technique. It's easier thanit looks, so you can make your traditional or contemporary quilt blocks really snap with colorful fabric splinters! Lisa shows you how to incorporatebright, decadent fabrics into your quilts without overwhelming your design. Learn how to get perfect points or super slim strips without fusing orpaper-piecing.

Review

'Oh just a sliver please' is the phrase we use when asking for a small amount of something and these projects are based on the use of fabricslivers to create a different approach and look to your quilts. So, what exactly is a sliver in this context? It is a folded piece of narrow fabric, a'sliver' which is inserted into a tuck in the background fabric of the quilt design, thus encasing the raw edges into the tuck while the folded edge ofthe sliver is revealed on the fabric surface. Sounds complicated, but we are assured by the author that it is easy and has many applications bothwith traditional blocks and in creating your own innovative pieces. This is an interesting idea with lots of potential, especially for the quitler whoenjoys a little freedom of expression. --Fabrications Quilting For You Magazine; September 2012

Sunday Morning Quilts: 16 Modern Scrap Projects - Sort, Store, and Use Every Last Bit of YourTreasured Fabrics

Author: Nyberg, Amanda Jean.





Are scrap piles wreaking havoc in your sewing space? Not sure what to do with all those tiny bits of gorgeous prints you hate to part with? Modernquilters Amanda Jean Nyberg and Cheryl Arkison share a passion for scraps, and they're here to help you get creative with 16 scrappy quiltprojects that include piecing, appliqué, and improvisational work. This book has ideas on how to adapt patterns for your own personal "Sundaymorning" style, plus tips for effectively cutting, storing, and organizing your scraps. Your Sunday mornings just got a whole lot cozier!

Review

Sunday Morning Quilts shows you how to use every last scrap of treasured fabric in your collection. In sixteen new and delightful projects, thebook champions the original ethos behind patchwork--make do and mend. However, the quilts in the book are decidedly modern in design,construction, fabric choice and colour. The quilts are mostly made from what would normally be seen as leftovers, i.e. any piece of fabric less thana 1/4 yard in size. Careful attention is paid to the need to sort your scraps before embarking on a scrappy quilt: in fact, preparation andquilting/binding basics take up almost half the book before the projects begin. The projects are then organized so that you can take advantage ofyour scraps from the largest pieces to the smallest. This is to encourage you to work through your oddments in a systematic manner andeventually end up with no scraps at all, and then you have the perfect excuse to buy lots more gorgeous fabric. The first project is a lovely idea toget your preparation started--quilted storage boxes in rainbow colours to organize all your scraps! The quilts are bold, bright and clean, and theco-authors actively encourage you to be creative and to come up with your own designs.(Popular Patchwork Magazine, February 2012)

Sunday Morning Quilts, by Amanda Jean Nyberg and Cheryl Arkison, is so lovely--but my favorite part is the way it really challenges you to thinkabout your scraps and how to use them. The simple fact that Amanda Jean uses every. single. scrap. of fabric makes me want to be even moreridiculously frugal than I already am--and to figure out where I put the box that has my existing scrap projects in it so I can get them completed. Iorganize my scraps a little differently than they suggest in the book-I have specific projects in mind and add scraps to those project baskets as Iwork--but I really like the way they've defined various sizes of scrap and used those to create some really great modern projects. Plus, there's awhole idea of working with a scrap 'slab' in the book that gets the gears working in my brain, imagining how those slabs could be composed andwork together to create something I haven't seen before. The photography in this book is exceptionally good, and the use of pyramids in the NapLike an Egyptian quilt is downright inspired.(whipstitchfabrics.com, July 11, 2012)

Review

Yum! The Chefs at Moda's Bake Shop are at it again and Sweet Celebrations is a full serving of fun. With over 35 seasonal projects using fatquarters, charm squares, and other fabric pre-cuts, there's a project for every occasion. Let the celebrating begin!(McCall's Quick Quilts, Feb/Mar2013)

No--this is not a cook book, it's a book of quilting and sewing projects. If you're not familiar with the terminology that fabric manufacturer, Moda,uses, you're forgiven for feeling confused. Moda has spearheaded the marketing of a range of pre-cut fabrics in recent years, many of which arereferred to with food names, such as jelly rolls (2 1/2 x 42 in strips), layer cakes (10 in squares) and honey buns (1 1/2 x 42 in strips). In keepingwith the theme, they've taken to referring to quilt project instructions as recipes, quilt designers as chefs and materials lists as ingredients. Thisbook is a collection of 30 projects all made using pre-cuts. They range from table mats, bags, wallhangings and wreaths up to bed quilts. It's avery rich resource to have on your bookshelf - there's something here for almost every occasion when you might want to present a specialsomeone with a homemade gift, and the use of pre-cuts streamlines the process. Of course, you don't need to use pre-cuts--there's nothingstopping you from buying yardage or raiding your stash and cutting the fabric yourself. The instructions are detailed, and there is a good, clearphotograph of every finished project and diagrams to illustrate steps along the way. (Australian Homespun Magazine, March 2013)

To celebrate the availability of pre-cut fabrics, this book, with more than 35 projects to sew using Jelly Rolls, Layer Cakes, Fat Quarters and CharmSquares, will afford you dozens of bright projects, which are so much quicker to make using the pre-cut fabrics. The projects are divided intoseasonal themes, which are predominantly American, but many can be adapted for celebrations in the UK. (Fabrications Quilting For You,February/March 2013 Issue)

Fans of Jennifer Chiaverini's Elm Creek Quilts series can now stitch up the quilts inspired by her last six novels. The best-selling author shares herinspiration for each of the quilts featured in The Winding Ways Quilt, The Quilter's Kitchen, The Lost Quilter, A Quilter's Holiday, The Aloha Quilt,The Union Quilters, and The Wedding Quilt. Create a bit of Elm Creek for your home!

Editorial Reviews

Chiaverini (The Wedding Quilt) writes novels plotted around the Elm Creek Quilters. She describes well the work produced by the women, but allthe fine adjectives in the fiction do not do justice to the quilts she produces. Perhaps that's why, in addition to 18 novels, Chiaverini has alsoauthored four collections of quilt projects, based on the novels' quilts. Her newest contains quilts described in Chiaverini's last half-dozen novels,along with sidebar quotes from the novels, but discusses little of the quilts themselves. For The Last Quilter, set in the Civil War, Chiaverinidesigned Mr. Lincoln's Spy. Pineapple Patch, the quilt developed from The Aloha Quilt, is worked in an emerald green material set in ivory fromChiaverini's fabric line. She designed the 13 projects, including two holiday quilts, and pieced them, sometimes aided by her mother, GeraldineNeidenbach, and her sister, Heather Neidenbach; a friend, Sue Vollbrecht, machine-quilted them. Templates are sized to work with. Thedirections, from cutting to constructing, instruct the intermediate quilter; for example, terms like "cornerstones" are not defined and the quilter isoccasionally referred to a general quiltmaking book for technique advice.

authored four collections of quilt projects, based on the novels' quilts. Her newest contains quilts described in Chiaverini's last half-dozen novels,along with sidebar quotes from the novels, but discusses little of the quilts themselves. For The Last Quilter, set in the Civil War, Chiaverinidesigned Mr. Lincoln's Spy. Pineapple Patch, the quilt developed from The Aloha Quilt, is worked in an emerald green material set in ivory fromChiaverini's fabric line. She designed the 13 projects, including two holiday quilts, and pieced them, sometimes aided by her mother, GeraldineNeidenbach, and her sister, Heather Neidenbach; a friend, Sue Vollbrecht, machine-quilted them. Templates are sized to work with. Thedirections, from cutting to constructing, instruct the intermediate quilter; for example, terms like "cornerstones" are not defined and the quilter isoccasionally referred to a general quiltmaking book for technique advice. (Oct.)"- PW, Review Date: 10/3/11- From the Publisher

Chiaverini, author of the popular "Elm Creek Quilts" novels (e.g., The Wedding Quilt), presents a collection of quilts inspired by her books. Theprojects range from traditional piecework to complex appliqué, and step-by-step cutting and piecing instructions (including templates whereneeded) are included. Most projects lean toward classic Americana in both design and color choice, but individual quilters can adapt and modify tosuit their tastes. The collection is targeted to Chiaverini's fans--she includes an essay on the inspiration behind her novels, as well as numerousexcerpts--but the projects will appeal to quilters of all skill levels. - Library Journal


Transparency Quilts: 10 Modern Projects - Keys for Success in Fabric Selection - From the FunQuiltsStudio

Author: Ringle, Weeks.


Keywords: Quilting--Patterns, Patchwork--Patterns, Color in textile crafts



In this follow-up to Quilts Made Modern, you'll learn how to use traditional piecing techniques to create quilts with layered translucent effects. Bydistinguishing and balancing the subtleties of color in your fabrics, you can achieve remarkable results. Discover how the visual relationshipsbetween different colors make all the difference in your quilts.

Review

Transparency quilts are particular kinds of quilts: they effect the look of layering with translucent chiffon over cotton, the fabric-sandwich versionof encyclopedia pages with overlays or scrims in scene design. With transparency quilts, the additional details and information result from carefulselection and juxtaposition of color. That's why the husband-and-wife team of Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr (Quilts Made Modern), co-founders ofFunQuilts.com, spend time in the book's first part defining and employing such color terms as "value" and "saturation." Unfortunately, words on apage, even accompanied by Figs. 1 through 1,000, may not serve as well as personal instruction to explain why "yellow plus blue doesn't have toequal green." After covering how to create transparencies, Ringle and Kerr discuss how to select fabric and what doesn't work and why. Thesecond half of the book offers 10 patterns, including tips, skill grades, machine-quilting suggestions, and instructions for assembly. Patternsreplicating tartan and madras are most effective. The couple's writing style is practical, edged a bit with cutesy. 340 illus. --Cevin Bryerman,Publisher's Weekly, December, 2011

This is intentional. I may have designed the blocks andgiven you the instructions on what to cut and where to stitch, but I have not infused the blocks with any meaning. This is your quilt. The fabricsthat you choose, the colors that you use and why you are making it are what will give the quilt a purpose. Name your blocks, write in the margins,cross out the ones that you don't like, draw hearts around the ones that you love. In a perfect world, everyone's book would end up looking like ajournal, coffee stains and all. The more adventurous ones might rename the book and write their own introduction. Tula Pink's City Sampler is acollaboration between you and me. I am the platform and you are the speaker, so stand on my shoulders and tell the future who you are and whyyou make."

Editorial Reviews

Sampler quilts, like the Farmer's Wife or Dear Jane quilt, are a staple of traditional quilt-making. Best known for her fanciful fabric designs, Pinkputs a modern spin on this old-school format with this collection of six-inch blocks, all designed and sewn in her vibrant fabrics. Each block designincludes a close-up photograph of the finished block, along with cutting directions and a piecing diagram. This format will be familiar to quilterswho have made sampler quilts before. The directions are in diagram form, so some basic knowledge of patchwork piecing is required. Five full-sizequilts incorporating all or most of the blocks in the collection are provided. VERDICT Pink is a big name in modern quilting, and sampler quilts aresurprisingly popular among quilters of all tastes. This one should be a hit. - Library Journal

Editorial Reviews

09/16/2019

Wilkinson appeals to the creative quiltworker who wants to complete a project in a couple days, rather than weeks, with this invigoratingcollection. In an especially helpful introductory section, quilter Anne Walker introduces "quick quilt techniques" for making quilts of any size, andlists equipment that aid speed: rotary cutting and machine piecing are supported by, for example, rectangle rulers and squares (bias and set) plusa handheld hoop. She also contributes designs to the book, as do four other accomplished artisans. Walker presents "pioneer blankets," amongwhich "Stars and Stripes" is the most striking. Jenni Dobson works off Japanese designs, including Sashiko patterns, while Pauline Adamsdecorates her quilts with stripes inspired by classic motifs from various periods and cultures, such as the "Greek Key" of the classical world and"Rail Fence," a slice of Americana. Carol Dowsett designs around natural motifs--stars, leaves, and water--and, to similar effect, Gill Turley usesstring piecing to create seasonal designs from shirt fabrics. Throughout, readers will encounter instructions for dyeing, estimates of hours involved,patterns, and handy tips ("A sharpened sliver of dried soap is good for marking cutting lines"). Any quilter who does not want another unfinishedproject lying around will applaud these lickety-split endeavors. (Oct.) - Publishers Weekly
