Patchwork and quilting was born from thrift when people made colourful textiles from spare scraps of materials. From simple beginnings, these popular pastimes have evolved into sophisticated art and craft forms.
In Needlework: Patchwork and Quilting, Jacqueline Farrell shows you how to create a collection of exciting stylish designs that are inspired by our surroundings - from the buildings in our cities to images in nature. It features 15 original patchwork and quilting projects grouped in themed chapters - flowers and gardens; city and architecture; sea and sky; global and ethnic; food. A photographic gallery introduces each of the chapters, showing the limitless potential of the images that are all around us.
A wide range of projects are included - quilts, throws, cushions, wall hangings and window coverings. Choose to make a Cathedral Window cushion inspired by stained glass windows or a floral cafe curtain based on images of flowers and gardens. Each project has clear step by step instructions and is accompanied by colour illustrations and photographs showing the finished work.
A section on Techniques, Materials and Equipment includes advice on transferring designs, making templates, free machine embroidery and machine applique, together with instructions for all the techniques used - how to rotary cut patchwork pieces, how to quilt and how to bind and finish quilt edges.
The projects are aimed at all levels of ability so whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced needleworker, Needlework : Patchwork and Quilting will show you how to create pieces you can treasure forever.
This first edition hardback book is in excellent condition. The 144 pages are clean and unmarked and the dustcover is complete with only a little rubbing to the edges.
