Product Description

A unique visual directory of quilting techniques, plus an inspirational gallery of classic quilts. This book has projects suitable for all levels of ability, from simple pieced block designs for the beginner experimenting with colour, pattern and texture to more complex challenges for the experienced needleworker. The Encyclopedia of Quilting and Patchwork Techniques covers both the traditional techniques, such as 'English' or mosaic patchwork, block patchwork and applique, and more recent developments using rotary cutters and sewing machines. The variety of different styles is reflected in an inspirational and colourful gallery of both traditional and contemporary designs. To interpret or reproduce the traditional patterns gives the satisfaction of making something both useful and beautiful. The time and skill expended on historical quilts are apparent in the artistry of contemporary quiltmakers, illustrating the enduring attraction of this imaginative craft.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for beginners and useful for internediate quilters, 16 Jan 2002

By A Customer

This is an excellent introduction to the craft of patchwork and quilting. It is the first book I
ever read on the subject and it's one I keep going back to time and time again.

For absolute beginners just starting out on this absorbing hobby, basic terminology is
explained and the section on equipment to buy contains lots of useful advice. The step by
step account on how to design your own quilt and estimate the amount of fabric required is also very helpful.

Lots of different patchwork and quilting techniques are detailed in the book and the text is accompanied by many precise photographs and illustrations. The easy to follow instructions are most encouraging and you'll want to try out each new technique as soon as you turn the pages.

The more advanced patchworker will also find plenty of interest in this book, as special effects such as piping, prairiepoints, folded patchwork and much more is discussed.

Numerous types of applique eg stained glass, shadow, Hawaiin etc. are presented and instructions for different types of quilting, rotary cutting and speed piecing are also included.

The latter part of the book consists of a magnificent gallery of quilts in different styles. Each photograph is accompanied by the quilter's name, quilt size nd name and also a brief description of the piece. The gallery is a marvellous source of inspiration for any quilter.

I thoroughly recommend this book to both beginners and intermediate quilters.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have Book............, 14 May 2003

By	"shirlivalentine" - See all my reviews

Fantastic, great, wonderful....these are the words you'll say once you've bought this book, it's an absolute must have for beginners and experienced quilters and patchworkers alike. It is well illustrated and extremely easy to follow. If your like me and very new to quilting it explains everything in easy terms, no jargon! The pictures are easy to follow too. There were lots of question I had and wondered about many things to do with quilting and this book helped with both. In essence, I would say if I could only own one book about quilting, this would be it. It offers everything you need and want to know. I would highly reccommend this book to anyone who has an interest in this subject.
