Textile artist and surface designer Mandy Pattullo marries fabric with collage techniques to produce beautiful pieces of art. In Textile Collage she shows a fresh way to use scraps and oddments of fabrics to create something unique and personal, while also being economical – perfect for those who have hoarded bits of fabric, trim and memory-filled domestic textiles over the years. Chapter one covers 'Materials': collecting and sourcing fabric including unpicking and storing found fabric. In chapter two, 'Make', Mandy guides you through all the artistic and creative elements that you need to consider to create a beautiful collage. The following chapter 'Portray' looks at piecing together a collaged portrait – human or animal – showing the figurative approach in collage work that includes transfer images and using found photographs. In the chapter 'Worn', the collage technique is used to embellish skirts, jackets and accessories. The final chapter 'Book' looks at the fabric book as a receptacle for textile collage, with a range of approaches and forms explored. This is a wonderful resource for all textilers looking to make the most of the found fabrics they love and fully explore the technique of collage with textiles.

Everything you need to know about quilt marking all in one handy reference book, by the author of 65 Drunkard’s Path Quilt Designs.

Inside, you’ll learn: • How to choose designs that complement and contrast with the quilt top • All about marking tools • How to make the quilt design match in the borders and corners, plus 10 ways to mark a border that do not involve matching • How to make your own quilting stencils • How to preserve a quilt design found on an old quilt • Quilting from the judge’s point of view Features photos of inspiring antique and newly-made quilts.

A must-read for quilters devoted to the art of quilting!” —Alex Anderson, quiltmaker, author, and television host of Simply Quilts “Pepper is an expert on working with stencils and creating quilting designs that make quilt tops the best they can be. Reading this book is like being in her class.” —Harriet Hargrave, teacher, author, lecturer, and master machine quilter
