This the tenth in the series of Kaffe Fassett's highly successful patchwork and quilting books from Rowan, celebrating a decade of great books from one of the foremost colourists of his time. It offers the reader 20 new quilt designs that embrace a strong floral theme. Using Kaffe's new fabrics. Photographed at Great Dixter, the 15th century English manor house home of Christopher Lloyd, the well known pioneering gardener and writer, the intensely coloured borders and topiary are the sumptuous backdrop for the glorious collection of new quilt designs from Kaffe and his chosen designers. In the introduction Kaffe talks about the approach to colour he shares with Christopher Lloyd and his joy in seeing the quilts displayed in such a riot of colour.

Kaffe's new printed fabrics, each in six colourways, include Bekah, Brocade Floral and Pinking Flower, which are lush florals and Targets and Jungle Stripe, which are dramatic large scale designs. Spot and Aboriginal Dot are small-scale designs that quilters find particularly useful. Colours range from the rich and sumptuous to delicate pastels. New woven stripes from India come in rich earthy shades and are a welcome addition to the range. To celebrate their arrival, Kaffe has created a second very graphic version of one of his quilt layouts, the first one created in yellow and gold prints. Country Garden Quilts is constructed rather like a cookery book with a sumptuous photograph of the finished project, an ingredients list and written instructions illustrated with coloured diagrams, plus a flat shot' photograph and all the templates needed.

Lynne Edwards

Endless ways of making quilts from a stash of scraps. 20 projects from large to small with lots of photos, diagrams and clearly explained techniques.

Internationally recognized quilt designer Lynne Edwards has produced a collection of exciting and creative ideas for using up leftover fabrics. Almost half the purchases made by quilters are for fabrics, often bought on impulse without a project in mind. Add to this the leftovers that result from every completed project and quilters have an ever-growing hoard of material. In this book Lynne Edwards provides quilters with plenty of ideas and inspiration for making quilts and other, smaller projects from their fabric stash. The full-size quilt projects explore patchwork and quilting techniques ideal for producing quilts from fabrics sorted according to tonal value (lights/mediums/darks) rather than simply by colour or design. Schemes for smaller projects, such as a cushion in One-square cathedral window design, or a cot quilt in Suns and stars design, really help the quilter to use up as many scraps of material as possible.

Women and Quilts of the Mountain West: From the Overland Trail to Contemporary Colorado

Drawing its inspiration from letters, journals, and—most importantly—quilts, this engaging account chronicles the history of the women who settled the town of Golden, Colorado, over the course of two centuries. Laced with true stories drawn from American quilting history, the narrative follows the transformation of the shanty mining village into a thriving community, moving through the Depression and up to the present day. Throughout the decades, the art of quilting provides a window into the lives of these women, their successes, and their sorrows. With more than 70 photographs and four vintage quilt patterns, this unique saga is a treasure for historians and quilters alike.
