Quilt It with Wool: Projects Stitched on Tartans, Tweeds & Other Toasty Fabrics
Using wool is its many forms, combined with an open definition of quilting – this book will appeal to those interested in sewing, quilting and making with wool.
The designs are made by a range of contributors; designers with varied experience in textiles. This combination makes for an interesting range of projects, from a deliciously layered patchwork wool scarf, quilted with hand quilting stitches all over, to the fuzzy sweater pillow in a traditional tile design, the trio of felt birds, with their improvised cuteness and quilted fins, and the grey wool capelet, featuring circular applique and then machine quilted in a wavy echo design – giving it a defined shape and structure.
This is a really very nice book, with an excellent introduction to wool and the materials needed in the book as well as clear instructions and illustrations. Beginner and intermediate stitchers will find something to like in this book.
