Stitches of Time - Deborah Dorward

Quilts from La Gare and Other Mewsings - Margaret Mew

Imagine yourself in a lush landscape where flora and fauna flourish generously. Birds (which Deborah adores), deer, floral bouquets, wreaths, pomegranates are beautifully represented in applique and Persian embroidery. Deborah's passion for antique fabrics shines through in her art of playing with tradition. She revisits it nicely thanks to her colorful choice of prints for each quilt. His compositions are created from classic blocks or patterns such as baskets, medallions, Dresden Plates, Ohio Star, Whig Rose and Mariner's Compass.

11 beautifully photographed quilt models, carefully explained and accompanied by their templates are on the menu and 3 of them come with a lovely cushion to complete the decor. The technical book will help you with certain achievements such as stitching curves, sewing on backing, appliqué and reverse appliqué, hand stitching and quilting. A fresh and colorful book for application fans!
