a brief note telling them all about 'Block Central's Quilt Directory'
by Annette Ornelas. This book presents a technique to add curves to your quilts without cutting and sewing curved pieces. Simply sew a folded piece of fabric
into place, peel it back, and sew it down. Instant curves! Chapter 1 is full of information from selecting fabric to the "how-to's" of the "peeled-back" technique. This is followed by 12 beautiful quilt projects that will allow you to practice and master this wonderful technique.
By Ami Simms. Turn your photographs into treasured heirlooms! Learn transferring tips and quilting shortcuts from the expert. Over 25 projects---quilts, tote bags, neckties, ornaments, vests, and much more! You'll love Ami's easy-to-follow instructions and her humorous writing style.
by Debby Kratovil. There are sixteen beautiful quilts in the book, ranging in size from 23" x 23" to 66" x 66". Each quilt is
presented in a rich palette of colors that simply sizzle.
Techniques used in constructing the quilts include applique, template piecing, strip piecing,
English paper-piecing, and her own "coffee filter" method for making the Mariner's Compass
block. Instructions for each project are easy to follow and wonderfully illustrated.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to explore the "bright side" of quiltmaking!
