About this Item

"First U.S. Edition" on the copyright page of this lavishly illustrated "how to" book by British fabric artist Janet Bolton. The hardcover book is in near fine condition, marred only by a small faint stain on the title page where a former owner label was neatly removed. Binding is tight and square, with no reading crease in the spine. The red cloth covered boards are unmarked, unfaded and unworn, with bright gilt titles on the spine. Pages are unmarked and unworn. The unclipped dust jacket is in fine condition: whole, unfaded, unmarked and unworn. As with all Space Age Book purchases, I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its proud new owner in the same condition as my description. Note: shipment outside the USA will require additional postage for this heavy (2 pound) book.

About this title

Synopsis

An introduction to creating patchwork folk art offers examples of the author's work and covers fabric selection, composition, techniques for cutting and stitching, finishing touches, and framing

Reviews

For Bolton, scraps of fabric are imbued with memories capable of inspiring creativity and provoking imaginative musings. The images she creates with patchwork have a charm far greater than the basic craft techniques utilized, and although art school trained, Bolton retains a simplicity associated with self-taught artists. Many of the pieces shown here have the appeal and freshness of true folk art, so even though Bolton discusses elements of design throughout the text, a beginner need not be intimidated. All in all, this is a delightful primer that should interest a range of crafters coming from either a needlework or a painting orientation. Colorful illustrations complement Bolton's instructions on both stitchery and arranging motifs in attractive compositions. Alice Joyce

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

Terms of Sale are per ABE Books standards and your national consumer laws.

Shipping Terms

Items will be carefully packaged to assure they arrive as described.
All shipments will be via US Postal Service unless requested otherwise. Standard shipping within the USA will be via USPS Media Mail. Priority shipping within the USA will be via USPS First Class Mail.
My current Standard shipping rate within the USA is US$4.00 for the first book, and US$2.00 for additional books in the same order.
There are two situations where I will refund to the buyer a portion of the postage charged by ABEBOOKS: (1) Separate orders placed on the same date for shipment to the same address will be shipped together, so I will refund half of the postage paid for the first book in each such second and subsequent order. And (2) Books described as "paperbacks" in my descriptions weigh less than other books, so I will refund US$1.00 of the paid shipping fee for the 2nd and subsequent paperbacks in the same order shipping to the same address.
Please contact me via ABE if you have any questions or special requests about packing and shipment, such as insurance or shipment by carriers other than US Postal Service. I will be happy to work with you if my standard policies need adjustment or exceptions.
