Summary:Wisconsin Quilts
showcases one hundred

to the age of the quilt,
the book is in part a
history of a Midwestern
state from its settlement
in the 1800s to the
middle of the twentieth
century, told through
the eyes of the women and
their families who made
the quilts.Each quilt,
some traditional, others
innovative, is a
testament to creativity
and perseverance and
reflects the common
experiences of a young
country, first, as it
was being settled by
waves of immigrants, and
then as it matures
through war, both civil
and foreign, economic
depression and the more
mundane events of the
daily lives of its
citizens.Quilters will
have an opportunity to
create their own versions
of these heirlooms with
the added instructions
for 8 quilt blocks.

Book DescriptionBeginners
will enjoy experimenting
with thread colours, and
the size and direction of
the stitches and will
have great fun building
up a range of exciting
effects.The more
experienced will find
satisfaction in
recreating an original
scene - a colourful
summer garden, a field
of poppies or a quiet
landscape.Many people at
first mistake Alison
Holt's embroideries for
paintings or even
photographs. She is
fascinated by gardens,
landscapes and detail and
enjoys the challenge of
interpreting all the
elements she sees in
nature. Alison's way of
working has evolved into
a technique of painting
with threads on to a
canvas of hand-painted
silk. She uses two basic
stitches - straight
stitch in various
combinations and zigzag
stitch - to make fine and
broad brushstrokes on
silk, blending both to
achieve stunning results.
The raised embroidery on
the glowing coloured
background produces a
beautiful
three-dimensional effect.
This comprehensive and
colourful book covers
everything from composing
a landscape and setting
up the machine to
choosing threads and silk
dyes and framing up.
Alison encourages the
reader to experiment with
the techniques as they go
along, making sure the
colour, length and
direction of stitch are
right for the effect they
are trying to recreate.
Step-by-step
demonstrations of an
autumn river bank and
colourful flower border
are included as are many
examples of Alison's
inspiring and original
work. Part of the
Needlecraft Series

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
don't 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. Author
Biography:RaNae Merrill
has developed the
techniques for designing
and sewing spiral-based
quilts that are new and
unique and she is
constantly exploring and
expanding the
possibilities of the
spiral quilt design. As
