Love... QuiltingThis book
presents a charming
collection of 18 stylish
quilts. Each one explores
a variety of traditional
and modern techniques
including applique and
other surface
embellishment, as well
as machine quilting. The
projects range from bed
quilts and throws to wall
hangings and table
runners. Quilters like to
buy fabric in 'fat
quarters' or 'jelly roll
strips' or they have a
stash of leftovers, and
with this in mind the
quilts have been designed
to work with these small
units of fabric. The
projects are designed for
quilters of all skill
levels and all techniques
are clearly explained.
Basic how-tos are
included at the front of
the book and all projects
are described through
easy-to-follow
instructions and
diagrams. Bold, bright
and beautiful, the
quilts have a distinctive
Boho-inspired and
Scandinavian flair that
would suit any
contemporary home. About
the AuthorMarion

quilting shop and also
organises a quilting
workshop programme. Sally

This book teaches
quilters how to create
spiral quilt designs
using shape, colour and
dimension; how to plot a
spiral template and how
to sew a spiral quilt
top. The basic template
shapes are included on
the CD and the pattern
insert to help readers
set up the perimeter
shape, if they want a
precise shape. Or, they
can draw freehand
irregular shapes that
dont require a
template.Any of the
following three methods
can be used to create
your spiral design: by
hand, completely
freehand, using only a
straight edge for
Point-to-point, Pinwheel
and Shape-in-Shape
spirals; by hand,
precisely, using a ruler
to measure increments in
each spoke for Pinwheel,
Shape-in-Shape and
Baravelle spirals - not
necessary for
Point-to-Point spirals;
and on the computer -
Electric Quilt works
great for all types of
spirals.

Modern Log Cabin
QuiltingThis book
introduces 7 ways of
creating Log Cabin
blocks. Some quilters
will love the old
technique of
quilt-as-you-go with the
quilting done as you
piece the strips. Other
quilters will like the
three traditional
techniques of piecing
strips, foundation
piecing and paper piecing
from the bottom. The new
techniques introduced are
using folded strips,
raggy strips made from
triangles and
paper-piecing from the
top. Some techniques
require more skill than
others. Quilters can
choose their favorite
technique or try all
seven techniques. Each
technique has
step-by-step photo
illustrations and a
project to illustrate the
technique. The additional
projects in the book
include a bib, toy
blocks, baby quilts,
wall quilts, table
runners, coaster sets,
place mats, bed quilts,
throws, handbags,
totes, bed runners
candle mat and more.

Why hasn't anyone
combined serging with
quilting? Sharon Rotz
leaps into the breach,
combining the standard
serging stitches (found
on any serger) to create
and embellish 15 quilt
projects in a range of
styles and sizes
(majority are bed
quilts). This previously
unexplored approach adds
value to the serger that
many home sewers have
stashed in their closets,
giving them every reason
to break it out and blow
off the dust. There are
things a serger can do
for your quilt, that any
other machine couldnt.
About the Author: Sharon
V. Rotz has more than 20
years experience teaching
quilting. Her sewing
background is diverse -
from the home decor to
ready-made clothing
industries - so she has
just the right background
and knowledge to
introduce quilters to
serging and sergers to
quilting. She is the
author of two previous
Krause titles, Log
Cabins With Attitude and
Quilting through the
Seasons.

The art of hand quilting
endures because nothing
can duplicate the look of
fine hand quilting. This
book, originally
published in 1996,
quickly became the
must-have book for every
quilter who wanted to
learn tips and techniques
for those times when they
wanted to quilt their
finest patchwork by hand.
Nancy Brenan Daniel, 12
years later, has revised
and updated the material,
creating another book
that every quilter should
have in his or her
library. Like the
original, there are
sections on batting,
marking tools, frames
and hoops, thimbles,
thread, quilting
stencils, quilting
patterns, posture,
lighting, mental
attitude, no-stress hand
quilting, preparing the
fabric, layering,
knots, the dimple style
stitch and a
question-and-answer
section on how to improve
your quilting stitch.

The Gentle Art of
Quilt-Making is a
charming, inspirational
and practical guide for
would-be quilters.
Leading author Jane
Brocket presents over 15
quilt designs and weaves
a narrative around each
one. Each quilt story
considers the sources of
inspiration - including
quilters, quilt styles,
quilting communities,
colours, patterns,
films, places and
painters. There's a
Russian Shawl Quilt,
inspired by Russian
shawls, traditional
motifs of Russian folk
art constructed with
ever-smaller nesting
squares in blacks,
golds, pinks, reds and
emerald greens, a Floral
Frocks Quilt inspired by
summer dresses, flower
gardens and herbaceous
borders - exuberant
colours and big florals
pieced together in
strips, and a Suits and
Ties Quilt reusing sober
woollen suiting
contrasting with
extravagant silk ties
with geometric squares
inspired by Gee's Bend
work-wear quilts.
Finally, a practical
section covers all the
practical knowledge
you'll need - from
hand-quilting and
sandwiching to binding,
storage and caring for
your quilt. Confidently
armed with all the design
tools you need, you can
embark on your own
quilting journey and
begin creating your own
personal quilting
masterpiece. Review: Jane
Brocket has a fun and
informal tone that puts
you at ease and inspires
you to get creative. This
book is wonderful for
proficient sewers who
might nonetheless be a
little daunted by the
prospect of quilting.
