I don't know about you, but I am a huge fan of these gals. Within the pages of this newest book, you will find 10 projects which are done with a little twist on their applique' method.
They have used big stitches in Perle cotton which are meant to be seen. It is much faster, adds new texture to each piece & is just plain fun!
There are pillows, wall hangings, table toppers and a quilt or two.
The wonderful thing is each design could work into a larger quilt by simply combining the blocks you love with a few filler blocks & improvisational piecing.
These are just so fun, perky and bright, they will capture your heart. Full size templates, great instructions and fantastic photos.
So get out and try some "Applique' With Attitude"!
OK here is the real post.....Don't know what blogger did, but all we had was a title. Now for the rest of the story!
Modern Patch Work by Elizabeth Hartman Elizabeth is the oh so talented author of ohfransson.com She is such a creative force in the quilting world. This is her second book....Her first "The Practical Guide To Patchwork" was wildly successful. I still think it is the best book out there for those who are craving to dive into the world of quilting.
Modern Patch Work, has 12 quilt projects that take you beyond the basics. It is geared toward the intermediate quilter. They are all clean and modern with a little more detail.
Elisabeth has such incredible color sense. Each quilt has the color combinations laid out very plainly. She has also included alternate color combinations and ideas which are extremely helpful.
I am very impressed with the layout, clear cutting and sewing instructions & fantastic photos.
Every page is rich with color and inspiration.....I love this book!
