Synopsis:
This gloriously colorful book is packed with inspiration—and 15 projects for beginners (or more experienced quilters looking for a manageable weekend undertaking). Veteran quiltmaker and teacher Rosemary Wilkinson, and her quilting friends, give all the information a beginner hopes for—from basic background (how to select fabrics with different tonal values, which hoops and frames work best, what equipment is essential, and so on) to each step through a quilt (proper cutting techniques, chain-piecing, adding borders, and more). The friendly pages are full of diagrams, eliminating all fear of confusion and uncertainty. And all fabric yardages are clearly stated. The 15 projects are divided into three sections: "Fresh Colors," "Vivid Colors," and "Bright Colors." In keeping with the book’s promise to be colorful, each quilt pattern includes four alternative color schemes to the fully completed, featured one. There is no end to the inspiration this irresistibly inviting book offers. In addition, dozens of Tips and Notes from these quilting experts are scattered throughout the book, making this a treasure all quilters should have in their libraries.
About the Author: Rosemary Wilkinson has been designing and making quilts for many years. Her early quilts were handstitched, traditional designs, but she is now exploring more experimental techniques, combining machine stitching with heavy embroidery and the use of silks. She has edited several books of patchwork quilting, covering both practical projects and classic tehniques. Wilkinson has worked for many years with creative craftspeople to present their ideas clearly and concisely. Here she brings together a team of experienced quiltmakers who have each designed quick quilts in sparkling colorways especially for this book.
Wilkinson lives and works in London, England.
