Appliqué Art Quilts Inspired by Stained Glass: A contemporary variation on stained glass quilt technique - without bias tape. (Books for Textile Artists) Kindle Edition
Transform your art quilts from 'formal' to 'fabulous' with this stained-glass-inspired technique.
Recreate the idea of stained glass quilts — with an artistic twist and NO bias tape.
- Do you love the idea of contemporary stained glass quilting, but want something a bit different?
- Are you looking for an artistic way to express your ideas, with no boundaries, no rules, no fiddly technique — and NO BIAS TAPE?
- Would you like to recreate your own photos and drawings as art quilts using a quick and easy method?
In this fully revised and updated 2nd Edition of Appliqué Art Quilts Inspired by Stained Glass you'll discover:
- What this freestyle appliqué art quilting technique actually is.
- Where to find design inspiration.
- Tools and supplies — What you need to get started.
- How to prepare and edit your photos, without the need for complex computer software.
- How to create your own design and pattern. It's easier than you may think!
- Fabric and how to prepare.
- Cutting and fusing the raw-edge appliqué.
- Enhancing your design with fabric paint.
- Assembling and finishing options.
Step away from needing to use other people's patterns!
This book is for anyone wanting to design their own freestyle stained-glass-inspired appliqué patterns. Be guided step-by-step through the process of tranforming photo to pattern.
This technique is for you if you want to:
- Create unique, raw-edge appliqué art quilts with a hint of 'stained glass'.
- Make your own patterns.
- Work from your own photos or inspiration.
- Take liberties with the design, adding stitch and other embellishments to make the quilt uniquely yours.
Is this technique suitable for beginners?
It is assumed that readers have some familiarity with sewing or quilting and know how to use a sewing machine and work free motion stitching. Nevertheless, the technique is also suitable for the adventurous novice.
What this book is not:
- Not a traditional 'How to Quilt' book.
- Not a 'How to do free motion stitching' book.
- Not a book containing patterns for you to copy. The object is to create your own patterns.
Learn to design and quilt your way — inspired by stained glass. Get started today — BUY this book now!
