From Publishers Weekly A founder of the British Quilters' Guild, Walker is well-known in England and abroad for her superior craft manuals, and this one is bound to stimulate the imagination of quilt fanciers who want to make their own patched beauties. Stunning color photos display the varied attractions of quilts in both traditional and contemporary designs, adapted and created by the author and her colleagues. Detailed illustrations also accompany Walker's clear instructions on every step of her project. Tips on caring for the handmade quilt are included. The vivid, modern designs have revolutionary sources; for instance, footprints and car tracks in snow have been impressed in white satin for posterity. Complete as the title claims, this could become the needleworker's favored reference. The only problem it poses to the tyro or veteran quilter is how to choose among the numerous, enticing patterns. Better Homes & Gardens Book Club selection. Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal This appealing book was first published in London as Quiltmaking in Patchwork and Applique , a less pretentious title that better fits its content. This is first of all a color gallery of visually stimulating patchwork and appliqued quilts, both traditional and contemporary. Secondly, it is an ordered examination of methods of designing and working such quilts, beginning with one-patch designs, then repeated block designs in all their variety, and, finally, designs employing a single central image. Underlined throughout are the artistic possibilities of the technique as a medium for the serious artist as seen, for example, in the intriguing colorwash studies done by Deirdre Amsden, a British quiltmaker. Highly recommended for general and special collections. Janice Zlendich, California State Univ. Lib., FullertonCopyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc.
