Book Description

December 2000
"An attractive volume that simplifies and demystifies textile design."--Booklist. Crafters who work with fabric-quilters, embroiderers, cross-stitchers, sewers, weavers, and knitters-eventually wish they could create their own unique designs, rather than following someone else's patterns. Here's the best basic book on the market to show them how. With appealing color illustrations, the authors show how the most complex designs are built on a few shapes (like squares, circles, and triangles). They also show novice designers where to look for inspiration (like nature and other artists).
For the wannabe fabric designer, for anyone crafting with fabric, this book is a joy and a revelation.

oAppeals to a broad craft market, from knitters to sewers

oAimed at crafters of all skill levels

oHelp with designing, the area in which crafters feel the most need for guidance

"...the inspiration that The Fabric Design Book provides for the collaboration of hand, eye, and imagination makes it an excellent addition to anyone's library."--At Large, Embroiderers' Guild of America.

This review is from: The Fabric Design Book: Understanding and Creating Patterns Using Texture, Shape & Color (Paperback)
This book is like a class in design, with suggestions for experiments that get the creative juices flowing. wonderful, and endlessly useful.

Note: I've also seen at Amazon what seems to be the same book with the title: "The Textile Design Book"
