Description

A charming, inspirational and practical collection of 15 quilts for would-be quilters. There's a Russian shawl quilt, inspired by traditional motifs of Russian folk art, a floral frocks quilt inspired by summer dresses, flower gardens and herbaceous borders, and a suits and ties quilt reusing sober woollen suiting contrasting with extravagant silk ties designed in an Irish chain. Finally, a practical section covers all the knowledge you'll need - from chain-piecing, hand-quilting and sandwiching to binding, storage and caring for your quilt. Armed with the design tools, you can embark on your quilting journey and begin creating your own personal masterpiece.
