Susan Briscoe

No woman would be without one - a bag is the accessory that carries any number of essential items. A bag can be as individual as the person using it and Susan Briscoe has come up with a myriad of inspirational suggestions alongside practical guidance on how to make bags that proclaim their owner's personality. A 'rice sack' bag is a practical, everyday shoulderbag, zipped for security, patchworked to co-ordinate with a special outfit and decorated with sashiko quilting. A rucksack echoes today's fashion for backpacks, machine quilted for added charm. The simple to make envelope bag, quilted in silk, is perfect for bridesmaids - or even the bride.

With so many ideas, Susan Briscoe never loses sight of practicalities, with suggestions for fabrics, ideas for quilting and patchwork styles, and step by step instructions for all projects illustrated with full colour photography.

Published by: That Patchwork Place

Bettina Havig

Take a trip with tour guide Bettina Havig and join her infectious enthusiasm for quilts of the British Isles. Explore the rich heritage of these quilts, whose styles and techniques influenced American quilts in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Historic quilts, most in the medallion style surrounded by frames (the British term for borders), are the design inspiration for the eight quilt projects included in this book. They also reflect Bettina's love of hand-quilting, with the inclusion of many traditional quilting motifs. Each project is named for a place or experience in Bettina's travels. Also included are instructions to make a Victorian Etui, a folding portable sewing kit made by ladies but also by soldiers and seaman in the 19th century.

Bettina first traveled to the British Isles in 1991 and six trips later, her fascination with the region remains strong. You'll find photos of British Isles quilts snapped by Bettina, as well as shots from her travels. Also included are places to see when you plan your own trip across the pond.

Author: Cindy Brick

The crazy quilt was anything but "crazy." It began with necessity and ingenuity, the piecing together of any odd scrap of fabric that outlasted its first (or even second) use, and evolved into an art form in which the finest silks, satins, and velvets, stitched together with elaborate embroidery, attested to a quilters rich imagination and artistry.

This beautiful book traces the bewitching history of the ever-changing but ever-popular "Crazies" from their earliest origins to the present day. Distinguished quilting teacher, lecturer, appraiser, and restorer Cindy Brick follows the crazy quilt through colonial times, the Civil War, and the Victorian era. She describes the crazy quilts influence on modern-day quilts. And she decodes the meaning of the curious images stitched into these quilts, from flowers to fans and farm animals.

Along with this history, the book includes a detailed how-to section on constructing crazy quilts. Brick outlines approaches to planning, piecing, and embroidering or embellishing your quilt. She also offers numerous helpful tips that only an expert could provide. Exquisitely illustrated with images of crazy quilts over time, this book is as delightful to page through as it is instructive to read.
