Savor Each Stitch

Studio Quilting with Mindful Design

Carolyn Friedlander

Description

An exploration of how selecting different materials, textures and substrates, combined with playing with the design concepts of line, contrast, scale, emphasis, colour, volume and texture can impact the end result of the design. Eight quilts, each with a multitude of colour way options, illustrate how each design decision, can impact the direction of a quilt.

Projects range from table runners to full-sized quilts each encouraging readers to play with design possibilities to create unique quilts of their own. Hand quilting, needle-turn appliqué, thoughtful design choices and experimentation replace the fast and easy counterparts found in many pattern books. The author takes readers from sketch, to experimentation, to final result all shot on location in and around her inspirational Florida studio.
