We all have things we treasure -- love letters, postcards, programs from graduations, wonderful photos of our ancestors.This terrific book shows you how to bring these out of the boxes and onto artquilts that become treasures in themselves.

Using techniques that transfer images to fabric, the authors show quilts they have made from their favorite things, and give complete instructions on how you can use these same techniques.The charming quilts include one featuring itemsfrom a naval officer's adventures around the world; one made from a beloved grandmother's hankies; one showcasing prize ribbons from dog shows.

You'll be inspired by the well-written stories about each quilt, and its meaning to the author.

All in all a wonderful book that teaches and inspires at the same time.

Product Description:
Scrapbooking and stitching-two of today's most popular crafts-come together in these spectacular, memory-preserving quilts. If you could make a time capsule of precious moments in your life, what would you put in it: Family photos? Notes from your children? Grandma's beautiful hand-crocheted handkerchiefs? They can all become part of a warm and wonderful quilt to wrap up in or display on the wall. One unique pattern features Dad's old work ties. Another blanket showcases those fun t-shirts you've collected over the years, while ticket stubs from fondly remembered concerts make up a musical motif. Or photocopy picture postcards onto fabric and then cut and sew. The instructions for the creative techniques, plus basic quilting guidance, are all here.
