Book Description

Relax and Unwind with Images from Simpler Times American patchwork quilting is a craft that dates back to the earliest settlers and is still practiced today. As adventurous families expanded our country, they brought quilting designs with them and invented new patterns as well. One way to appreciate the fascinating pieced blocks and quilts of the past without having to devote months to their construction is to color and embellish the designs in this book with your favorite coloring pencils. As you color, you can imagine pioneer women piecing together precious fabric scraps and embellishing their finished quilts with fanciful stitching -- busy work for long evenings that helped wash away the stress of new settlers' daily lives. A unique gift for both quilting and coloring enthusiasts, Quilt Designs Coloring Book for Adults contains a total of 114 quilt designs to color and embellish. Each one is named for easy reference. Quilters will find inspiration in long-forgotten patterns and can also use the pages to make color choices for future projects. Non-quilters and creatives of all types will enjoy coloring the geometric patterns and shapes as well as adding their own quilt "stitching" and "embroidery" embellishments. Designs include a variety of simple and intricate traditional patterns to explore and are a perfect way for teens, young adults, and seniors to spend quality time together. Can you imagine a multi-generational coloring party? Each coloring page is printed on a single side of pure white pages, and a color test page is included so you can try out your pencils and pens and test new color blend combinations. ★★Users are encouraged to place a sheet of heavy paper or cardstock behind the page they're working on to prevent etching and bleed-through, or to cut pages from the book so they can work on them individually or photocopy on sturdier paper.
