July 2007 This Australian publication has a nostalgic feel to it,
teddy bears in Edwardian sailor suits, Tana Lawn squares
embroidered with butterflies, English cottage garden flowers,
exquisitely made in soft pastel shades. The 6 quilts occupy the
first 88 pages; the rest of the book is a photographic compendium
of the stitches used and the quilting techniques necessary to make
the quilts. The patterns are included in loose sheets at the end of
the book. A book which dissolves the boundaries between the two
crafts.
*Patchwork & Quilting*
Issue 49 Designed by six of Australia's most talented embroiderers,
the beautiful quilts that adorn the pages of this wonderful book
combine the best of both patchwork, quilting and embroidery. I am
positive that this book will be popular with many of our readers as
I know how many of you enjoy embroidery. The book includes
step-by-step instructions for every embroidery stitch and quilting
technique required to replicate these quilts. Two pull out pattern
sheets provide the full-size embroidery designs and templates for
every quilt. The embroidery designs can be used to enhance any
quilt so you don't necessarily have to make the quilts in this
book. Once you open the cover to this book you are sure to find
lots of appealing ideas that you use in your next project.
