4.0 out of 5 stars
great book with many applications,
By Shirl Walton (Victoria, Australia.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Celtic Quilting (Hardcover)
I found this book to be excellent in its detail, instructions are very clear and although the book gives designs for Celtic quilting, it is also adaptable for Celtic knot Applique using bias tubes and also Trapunto or shadow work.there is in excess of 15 pages of a pattern library and the book gives details of various projects including a wedding ring cushion, a cot quilt, a wallhanging, several cushion covers, small cards, pincushions,evening bag, pram quilt etc.projects vary in size and difficulty It is an ideal book for both the beginner and experienced quilter, diagrams have full instructions, many full size and others which need to be photocopied at the suggested magnification. the book gives a list of mateirals required and includes practical tips relative to each project. Colour photography is really excellent and shows some close ups as well. I have now become hooked on Celtic Knot Designs.
