Book Purchase

Yesterday, I paid a visit to Jo-Ann's in Chicago and  purchased, The Complete Photo Guide to Art Quilting by Susan Stein. The colourful photos are wonderful.

Overview

This comprehensive how-to book explores all the concepts and techniques involved in creating art quilts, including composition and design; making whole-cloth, pieced, and appliquéd art quilts; fabric manipulation and surface design; quilting/stitching; embellishing; and working in a series. Readers will find easy access to information with step-by-step directions and hundreds of full-color photos for clear understanding. Easy projects provide opportunities for the reader to try the techniques, and galleries of art quilts by various fabric artists offer beautiful examples and enticing inspiration.
