Whitework Quilting by Karen
McTavish combines the best of how-to, history and art. This book is a fusion
of two concepts: an artful, coffee-table lexicon of award-winning quilts, and
a resourceful, knowledge guide structured to lead readers to their own
wholecloth quilting success.
This book features some of the country's best quilters,
showcasing 60 award-winning Wholecloth, Trapunto, Appliqué
and Pieced quilts. Never before has so complete a collection of
wholecloth quilts been amassed. Karen's humor and quilting knowledge make the
book a joy to read. In very little time you will understand the core concepts
of creating your own heirloom wholecloth quilt.
This book breaks the "Quilt book" mold. It is a
book of art and practicality. It will be comfortable on your coffee table or
your work table. This is more than a quilt book; it is an expression of love
for the beauty of art in cloth.
The photography has been done by one of the country's
premier quilt photographers. Images of the quilts fill the pages and include
incredible, detailed shots. Viewing the quilt in person with a magnifying
glass would not render better views of the stitching.
This hardcover, square-backed book with a satin marker
ribbon, features over 60 quilts, is 192 pages, full color
The Secrets of Elemental Quilting is a great
companion workbook for Whitework Quilting.
