"Sally Milner is emerging as a Down Under publisher of top-quality crafts books. In this handbook, the purview is quilting, traditional and contemporary, hand and machine, and it features 27 very unusual patterns and resurrects some little-known techniques (foundation piecing and broderie perse, to name two). The pattern called In the Red mimics a bargello needlepoint and its undulating waves of graduated color. Amish Baskets, on the other hand, borrows the best of this sect's handiwork and hues."--Booklist. "Includes patterns and instructions for quite a variety of quilts. Whether you prefer traditional or contemporary, or hand or machine methods, there is something for you in this book....A beginner will love the step-by-step instructions, while the more advanced quilter will appreciate the variety of techniques.....a book that covers it all."--Quilt World.
