Whitework Quilting: Creative Techniques for Designing Wholecloth and Adding Trapunto to Your Quilts [Hardcover] Review

For years I have been hand quilting and last year designed and quilted my first wholecloth quilt. Since I had no previous intruction, it is fair to say that had I had Karen's book, life with my wholecloth venture would have been a lot easier.This book is in the top 3 in my library.It is not only beautifully bound and comes with an attached satin ribbon for page marking, but the information is invaluable and the pictures are remarkably gorgeous! (Perhaps because the quilts are the same.....gorgeous!)Packed with ideas, this book contains explicit directions for choosing fabric, stencils, designing, marking, shadow trapunto, and more.Particularly special is the fact that Karen not only instructs and displays her own quilts, but she spotlights the quilts of other quilters and allows them to give narration on the drawbacks and the values of different techniques and products, mistakes and victories!If one cannot be inspired by the beauty and simplicity of directions in this book, that person is not cut out to be a quilter!Although written with instructions for machine quilting, this book is invaluable for hand quilters, as well.
