With Fabric and Thread: More Than 20 Inspired Quilting and Sewing Patterns
More than 20 inspired quilting and sewing patterns
As a generation of mostly self-taught, creative women take to the world of fabric, quilting and sewing are joining forces in a way that they never have before. Long-time quilters, committed to their craft for decades, are starting to experiment with a bit of home sewing or simple sewing for their grandchildren. The younger side of the sewing community is embracing the world of patchwork and quilting, a world that once seemed inaccessible or even undesirable to younger seamstresses. With Fabric & Thread seamlessly bridges the language and intimidation gap between these two crafts and delivers a unique collection of projects that appeal to sewers and quilters alike.
Featuring 20 new projects, With Fabric & Thread marries the nomenclature of both sewing and quilting to create an effortless set of instructions that anyone can follow. Plus, a special section features six patterns that can be accomplished in two different ways: one using sewing techniques and one using quilting techniques. The result is two unique looks from a single pattern.
- Provides an excellent stepping-off point for sewers learning to quilt, and quilters learning to sew
- Chic projects, well-styled photos, and modern illustrations speak to this increasingly unified audience
- Good, basic, understandable instructions
If you're a quilter experimenting with sewing, or vice versa, the beautiful designs in With Fabric & Thread give you everything you need to bring these two crafts together to make unique and inspired projects.
