Title: Quilting with doilies
Description: Beautiful vintage doilies are given new life in contemporary quilts and sewing projects. The book begins with an explanation of the various types of doilies readily available, then presents fifteen quilting projects creatively incorporating them into their designs. With ten patterns and 137 color images, the techniques are clearly demonstrated and explained. They include painted applique, machine-embroidered ribbon border trim, no math fabric-changing binding, adding embellishments and words, and tips for working with silk, denim, or upholstery fabric. So get your doilies out of storage and follow along to make a variety of quilts, pillows, holiday stockings, journal covers, and table runners, or be inspired to make your own creative item. This book is perfect for quilters, crafters, and sewers of all skill levels."--Back cover.
