Quilting Your Memories: Inspirations for Designing with Image Transfers [Paperback]

Sandy Bonsib (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1999

Rescue your photos from those tired, sterile photo-album pages--feature them in a precious heirloom, a whimsical storybook scene, or an extraordinary work of art instead! Learn to transfer photographs, children's drawings, and more onto fabric. Then gather inspiration from more than 50 spectacular quilts and stitch up a personal tribute to the meaningful people and events in your life. Included are:

· Inspirations for chronicling anniversaries, family histories, community events, or the history of a special person in your life

· Techniques for using image-transfer paper, reducing and enlarging images, and applying photo transfers

· Ideas for using image transfers in blocks, borders, labels--even on quilt backs

5.0 out of 5 stars Memory Quilts can truly be filled with memories!, May 25, 1999

This review is from: Quilting Your Memories: Inspirations for Designing with Image Transfers (Paperback)

This book goes beyond just photo's in quilts. Bonsib's book reminds us to explore the many other things we can use to put in a quilt that are important in our lives. I have made photo quilts before that just included pictures and fabrics, but now know that I can include the everyday tools, toys and gadgets that are me and my family. The quilts in this book are done with patchwork, applique and photo's all combined to make a truly memorable quilt. A great way to document your story!

I'm new to making a quilt with image transfers and this book really helped a lot. The photos of quilts in the book gave me lots of great ideas.

This book is ok but definitely not the way it is described. Had I been able to check this book out prior to spending my cash, I would have left it on the shelf!
