From Fiber to Fabric: The Essential Guide to Quiltmaking Textiles
This book is based on the author's popular "Stretching Traditions" workshop, during which she guides students in manipulating traditional quilt blocks to create striking and innovative variations. A gallery of more than 200 color illustrations demonstrates how "playing with blocks" by rotating, staggering, squeezing, blending, and merging elements can resulting in gorgeous quilts that build on their classic origins. Quilting teachers using this work as a resource for quilting classes will appreciate the "Activities and Extended Learning" sections at the end of each chapter. Recommended for quilting collections.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
