QUILTER'S RESOURCE BOOK - Thryft
Maggi McCormick Gordon

QUILTER'S RESOURCE BOOK

$3.08 from $2.00 Save up to 57%

This book seeks to show, through approximately 250 full-color photographs, the diversity of quiltmaking traditions from around the world. Quilts have been made in myriad cultures throughout human history. Those made in the Western European tradition are usually regarded as "typical," but the art of quiltmaking encompasses much more. Even traditional quiltmaking in western Europe, which includes forms generally regarded as "American," and practiced in many parts of the New World, covers a vast variety of styles and designs. And when we stray outside the Western European tradition, the ring widens into a remarkable array of fabric artefacts. The generally accepted definition of a quilt is a textile made from two layers of fabric with a layer of padding between them, and quilted textiles can be used as covers, hung on walls, and worn. The three broad categories of quiltmaking techniques - patchwork, applied work, and quilting - are covered in this book in separate sections in Chapter 1, with sample blocks for each technique. Chapter 2 is a gallery of examples of different quilt styles from all around the world, celebrating the skills of individual makers. Each style is explained, and there are detailed captions with information about each individual quilt. The Quilter's Resource Book will be an invaluable source of reference and inspiration for everyone interesting in the craft of quilting.

The Complete Book of Candlewick Embroidery - Thryft
Sue Millard

The Complete Book of Candlewick Embroidery

from $9.38

The art of candlewick embroidery - a traditionally simple, yet visually appealing form of needlework - was developed centuries ago by settlers in the New World. With no colourful embroidery yarns at their disposal, they utilized more readily available materials such as unbleached cotton calico which they embroidered with the cord used in candlemaking - hence candlewicking. This beautifully illustrated, full colour volume provides fine examples of this traditional craft. Whether a beginner or an expert, easy-to-follow instructions, accompanied by precise diagrams and illustrations, will enable you to create a host of pretty and practical articles to enhance your home. Choose from more than twenty original projects ranging from large quilts, cot quilts, pillowcases, sheets and cushions to wall-hangings, mobiles, guest towels, tray cloths and curtains: patterns and templates for all of the projects and embroidery designs are included. For would-be enthusiasts there is guidance on their first projects, while for those more accomplished in this fascinating art many unique design ideas are supplied. Highly readable, delightfully illustrated and packed with original and exciting ideas, this book will undoubtedly awaken much new enthusiasm for this charmingly elegant and traditional yet practical craft.
