Synopsis:

Floral fantasy

A flower garden is a place to daydream, make wishes, quiet the mind, or spark imagination. Bring this special space indoors by making a floral art quilt using fusible appliqué and machine embroidery techniques. Learn how to develop your own vivid designs and then choose the best fabrics, threads, and embellishments to create special effects that bring your flowers to life. With Ellen's innovative no-pattern approach, you'll be on your way to becoming a master art quilter just like her!

• Over 20 different floral studies help you see the simple shapes in flowers like hearts, bells, teardrops, and spirals
• Machine-embroider like a pro with zigzag and straight stitch techniques for progressive shading and edge-to-edge color
• Includes an inspirational gallery of sumptuous quilts and flowers

About the Author: Ellen Anne Eddy is an internationally known fiber artist whose wall art goes beyond the traditional concept of quilting. Fish, bugs, birds, and frogs are found throughout her art, blending her dreams and vision with the natural world. She uses hand-dyed fabrics, lames, machine embroidery, cut-away applique, and layered sheers to create the illusion of flames, water, and mist in her work.
