About the Book

This comprehensive book takes quilters through the design of the quilting stitches that hold the layers of a quilt together. It aims to help quilters decide what to quilt, then exactly how to implement the design they have created or selected. The book explains: the differences in effect achieved by hand and machine, and helps quilters determine which method is best suited to a particular quilt; how to seek and find inspirations for the quilting design - in particular, 20 photographs of landscapes and city-scapes by Charles Crust, provide ideas and starting points for creating new quilting patterns; and the principles of design (shape, line, color, proportion, etc) as they apply to the quilting stitch, all supported by photographic examples. Once the design is determined, it explores methods of execution - choosing materials (threads, battings, etc), marking the quilt top, making the stitches, and offers a chapter on finishing the quilt (bindings, labels, and sleeves) covers techniques.

About the Author :
A lifelong fascination with fabric and color led Melody Crust to a career in quilt making. An award-winning quilter, she has exhibited her quilts in major national shows. She has also juried and curated regional and national exhibitions. A seasoned teacher, she has led workshops on all aspects of quilt making for beginning and advanced quilters alike. Melody quilts as comfortably by hand as by machine, and her classes on creating the quilting design have encouraged hundreds of quilters to quilt their unfinished tops. Melody's quilts and writing have been featured in books as well as in several specialty magazines, including Quilter's Newsletter Magazine, Art/Quilt Magazine, Patchwork Quilts, and Fiber Arts International. Melody and her husband, photographer Charles Crust, live in Kent, Washington. Creativity and mastery of technique have been the foundation for Heather Waldron Tewell's success as a quilt artist. Her quilts have been juried into such prestigious shows as Quilt National 2001 (Athens, Ohio) and VISIONS (San Diego, California) and have won national awards. Heather has taught workshops in hand quilting and applique throughout western Washington and in British Columbia and has developed a unique class to help students understand how to apply principles of art to their hand- or machine- quilting designs. Heather's articles on quilt-making topics have appeared in Art/Quilt Magazine, American Quilter, Quilter's Newsletter, Quilt World, and Lady's Circle Patchwork Quilts. Her quilts have been featured in several books. Heather lives with her family in Anacortes, Washington.
