Embellished Mini-Quilts: Creative Little Works of Art (Hardcover)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The quilts may be small, but the design innovations are BIG! Each one of these mini-quilts measures less than 36" long by 36" wide, and features the most creative, detailed, and beautiful embellishments you’ve ever seen. Created by top-name quilters, and with spectacular images by an acclaimed quilt photographer, they showcase both traditional and contemporary techniques for personalizing your work: the quilts are adorned with beads and buttons, sequins and jewels, metallic cording, foil stamping, wire, photo transfers, fabric painting, seashells, and Cracker Jack prizes, as well as lovely ribbons, lace, and embroidery. Many of the projects have appeared in gallery collections, and the designers provide detailed instructions and materials lists so quilters can easily replicate the embellishments on their own pieces of art.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on embellishing quilted art, November 10, 2007

By	Anne Copeland "anneappraiser" (Lomita, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A wonderful book on embellishing quilted art with plenty of examples of various styles of quilts by well-known artists. Excellent detail as well as overall photos and easy-to-follow instructions. Small projects are easy to finish in a relatively short time. I recommend this book for the serious embellisher as well as the beginning fiberartist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Work, June 17, 2008

By	Alida Hagerty "Alida Hagerty" (The OC, CA) - See all my reviews

This is a beautiful array of artistic small quilts. Jamie Fingal did an exceptional job of bringing together some very accomplished art quilters. While this type of quilting may not be for everyone, it is what is going to keep us growing and expressing ourselves through this age-old craft. Beautifully photographed!
