Book Description

These stunning quilts from award-winning designer J. Michelle Watts were inspired by the timeless motifs of the American Southwest. The influences of culture, landscape, color, and design come together to play a key role in the creation of this imaginative collection of quilt designs. Concise instructions and abundant step-by-step illustrations make the projects easy for everyone to follow. The intricate and seemingly complicated pieced designs require only one or two very simple and familiar piecing techniques. The applique designs can by made with the popular quick-fusing technique. The book features pieced and appliqued projects. Many of the designs are presented in different sizes and colorways. Quilters can choose between the rich and subtle color schemes of the desert landscape and alternative schemes in bright, vibrant colors. The quilts are accompanied by sumptuous photographs of the traditional and contemporary pottery, jewelry, and woven textiles that inspired the designs. The featured project, Midnight in Santa Fe, is a medallion-style quilt. It is actually five projects in one, depending on how many of the borders are included in the finished quilt.

Book Description

Winner, Violet Crown Award, Writers’ League of Texas, 2008 For more than a decade, Marcia Kaylakie traveled Texas from the Panhandle to Big Bend country, from the Piney Woods to the Gulf, discovering thousands of quilts in towns from Alpine to Austin, Dimmitt to Dallas, and myriad other Texas communities large and small. Hidden away in closets, trunks, and attics, the quilts Kaylakie found are not only heirlooms but also, owing to their histories, irreplaceable emblems of Texas heritage. This book showcases thirty-four quilts. Through them and their stories, the cultural development of the state unfolds. Most will never be exhibited or appear in any other permanent record. All Texas-made, they span the state geographically and range from the 1870s to the turn of the twenty-first century. As examples of what Texas quilting was and is as craft—and as cultural narrative—these quilts preserve a unique and compelling aspect of Texas history.

Book Description

In her book, Sarah King shares her knowledge of fabric surface design, influenced by the fascinating ancient Japanese art of shibori. It is a resist technique in which fabric is manipulated before it is dyed or discharged (bleached) to produce wonderful textural designs for use in quilting, clothing, decorating, or anywhere fabric is found.The most common resist techniques involve stitching, folding, clamping, pleating, binding, tying, compressing, and wrapping. These methods were used to design fabrics before the invention of roller printing, and these types of designs can still be seen today in shibori and mud-cloth fabrics.The book covers fiber-reactive and indigo dyes and bleach discharge designs. Three projects, with explicit instructions, introduce the reader to the fascinating world of fabric manipulation and dyeing.
