Description:
For a revolutionary approach to a traditional needlecraft, try creating a quilt adapted from a favorite photograph. The seemingly elusive art of capturing a realistic image in fabric is clearly presented in Faces & Places, utilizing a relatively easy layering technique. The approach is not for beginners, but one need not be an expert quilter to produce successful results. With excellent, detailed instructions, Charlotte Warr Andersen explains how to select an appropriate subject, enlarge the design, mark the fabric, choose the right appliqué fabrics, and master the key stitching method of needle-turn appliqué. There are good diagrams throughout, as well as a tear-out sheet offering several full-size sample patterns. The book is filled with many exquisite examples of photograph-inspired scenic and portrait quilts by Andersen as well as by a number of other skilled quilt artists.
