The Embroidered Miniature QuiltPrice: $24.95 $7.50Following the enormous success of The Embroidered Village Bag and The Embroidered Patchwork Bear, we are delighted to announce the arrival of the NEW single project book in our Designer Series - The Embroidered Miniature Quilt.
One of New Zealand's leading patchworkers and embroiderers, Helen Marshall, has created this breathtaking little quilt, measuring 52cm (20.5") square. She has adapted the designs from historic Baltimore quilts to a much smaller scale, offering a perfect opportunity for embroiderers to try new stumpwork skills in a very different context and challenging quilters to add embroidery embellishment to their creations.
You'll be amazed to see how she has cleverly devised ways to imitate fruits, flowers and vegetables to achieve a wonderful three-dimensional effect. And the simple quilting design on the background and border complements the intricate embroidery beautifully.
Just imagine having this gorgeous miniature quilt hanging from your wall or placed elegantly in the centre of your dining room table - whatever you choose, it will show off the incredible needlework skills this magnificent book will teach you.
You'll learn 38 stitches and techniques, all clearly illustrated, and be guided every step of the way using 171 step-by-step photographs and detailed instructions. Full size pattern and construction diagrams help you put all the pieces together to form this unique miniature quilt.
Best of all, each of the nine designs is an easily achievable project and can stand on its own or easily be adapted to many other uses. Within these pages, you'll find more than just one project - the opportunities are endless! Try adapting each design to embellish a large patchwork quilt, create your own unique gift cards or use one on a cushion.
You'll also enjoy finding out more about the history of Baltimore Quilts and the symbolic meaning behind each of the designs.
