Quilted Sea Tapestries
Wonderful effects made with the sewing machine are described in detail in this book. The subject matter that appeals most to the author - underwater life - is actually incidental to the discussions of unusual and original techniques.Ginny discusses all the essential ingredients to successful machine manipulations: threads, needles, tension adjustmetns, hoops, interfacing, etc. Instructions for each technique are very clear and given in a step by step method that a beginner could easily follow. Color photos on almost every page make the book visually appealing. Patterns and instsructions for a tapestry and a vest are included.Both flat and 3-D textures are possible with the ideas in this book, and could inspire anyone who hasn't yet delved into the world of machine possibilities!  --Lynn Young, Art Quilt Magazine
