Here you will find inspiration for creating your own art quilts. Each technique is explored from embellishment, mixed media, surface design, stitch ideas, putting your quilt together and more. My favourite sections are the ones on using velvet and the very effective technique of Discharge. The book encourages readers to explore, design and produce their own quilt. The techniques will encourage beginners, the ideas will inspire experienced quiltmakers. Discover how other artists begin to quilt, follow the trail of their imagination.
