Beskrivning
Embark on a fascinating, hands-on journey through the unique history, style and ingenuity of American Depression-era quilting, and create 10 stunning 1930s-style quilts of your own.In this unique and beautiful book from quilt extraordinaire Carolyn Forster, explore and celebrate the incredible designs created by America's quiltmakers during the 1930s by making 10 quilts of your own, all inspired by the period's techniques, motifs and colourways. Nearly one hundred years on, their ingenuity still contains inspiration for quilters around the world. A small historical chapter sets the scene, describing the fascinating and tumultuous backdrop of the quilts and their makers. There are 10 themed quilts to sew, each inspired by a different key feature of 1930s quilting – from using repurposed feedsacks and upcycled linens to key piecing and quilting styles, plus the use of redwork embroidery.Every quilt project includes a detailed requirements list, clear step-by-step instructions with construction diagrams, and beautiful photographs of the finished quilt. Full-size templates are included.For readers needing a refresher, a detailed techniques section on making quilts is given at the back of the book.A foreword by the curator of the American Museum & Gardens in Bath in the UK, Kate Hebert, provides a captivating overview of the period and book.Photographs of beautiful 1930s quilts from the museum's collection offer mouth-watering examples of what the makers before us have achieved.This is a one-of-kind book that gives you the opportunity to unearth and recreate the incredible workmanship of America's quilters who, in spite of economic and political instability, created stunning quilts that are brimming with colour, ingenuity and creativity.

So impressed with this book. l have quite a few of her books and am looking forward to making some of the quilts.It is a hardback book. It has 10 stunning quilts for you to have a go at with step-by-step instructions as well as pictures. The author talks you through how she started making quilts, a small history of 1930's quilts and it was a very interesting read.Then onto the quilt projects, how to use fabric, either solids or patterned. With each project she gives you a background into of each block used, how to cut the blocks, requirements and how to set the quilts up to sew them together. there are superb photos and diagrams of how to lay the blocks out. you learn how to assemble and finish each block and the whole quilt.She shows you how to make complex piecing. There is a section on Redwork embroidery to enhance sections that are plain in your quilt. another section on Patchwork and basic quilting.What will you need to make a quilt is a section towards the back, from thread, batting/wadding, cutting tools, machines etc. There is techniques on how to cut your fabric. using templates and rulers, setting in Y seams. A plethora of knowledge to help you. She also talks about Sashing and Cornerstones, Quilting and preparing the backing fabric, hand quilting, hand tying a quilt, Labelling and aftercare.Last but not least is the templates which you are able to trace and use, so as not to spoil your book. l thoroughly enjoyed reading and reviewing this book, and would recommend as a book to use to make different quilts, but also a book as a guide for items you want to bring into your quilts etcWell done to Carolyn Forster for another amazing book and to Search Press for publishing it.
