Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This book demystifies the process of colouring cloth using a variety of techniques including fabric paints, pastels, dyes, bleaches and transfers. It combines simple techniques to produce complex textile surfaces, and describes exactly how these effects are achieved with easy-to-understand step-by-step photographs and instructions. Many people have competent sewing skills but lack the confidence to create their own designs - this book will help them to explore their own creative potential to achieve effective and original designs.

About the Author
Linda and Laura Kemshall are a mother and daughter team, renowned for their innovative approach to textiles and their online teaching courses. They have exhibited both together and individually all over the world to huge critical acclaim. They live in Wolverhampton, West Midlands.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best art quilt books I own, September 12, 2007
By D. P. Hock (Healdsburg, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There aren't many books that deliver so much information and inspiration in one book. In this book, Laura and Linda Kemshall show how to get from inspiration to original design, and how to execute it with amazing techniques. This may not be the best book for a rank beginner... but for anyone interested in trying paint and surface design techniques in innovative ways, this book will wow you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Art Quilt Book, December 18, 2007
By LuvKimono (Minnesota) - See all my reviews
  
Linda and Laura Kemshall are two British quilt and surface designers who have a regular column in "Quilting Arts" magazine. The subtitle of this book is "Paint and Print Techniques for Color on Quilts". It includes discussions about design, inspiration, drawing, collage, printing, oil pastels (rubbings and using pastels after quilting), health and safety, handling fabrics, immersion dyeing, painting with dyes, stencilling, block printing, screen printing, monoprinting, painting after quilting, rollering with a brayer, spraying, discharging, painting fusible web, gels and fabric pens, dimensional paints, adding text, pictorial and figurative images, ink-jet printing, photocopy transfers, fabric and acrylic paints and a number of series quilts that the authors have made.

The book is replete with lavish photographs that will provide inspiration for anyone who wants to work with these media. This is not a basic handbook, however, but there are a number of those that can be used for more information on the techniques that are included in this volume. This belongs in the library of anyone interested in surface design on fabric.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Great Book !, September 13, 2007
By ZQuilts "ZQuilts" (Washington State, USA) - See all my reviews
  
Over the years I have collected a lot of quilting books, and honestly I don't get terribly excited about too many of them anymore. This book, however, is truly a find. Fantastic techniques, beautiful photographs. A book I will return to time and again I am sure. I only wish I could take the Kemshall's classes too !
