“The Practical Guide to Patchwork”
By Elizabeth Hartman (Stash Books, 2010)
Elizabeth Hartman takes sewers and other new quilters and gently leads them by the hand into the world of modern quilting. She does it so well, it’s likely most of them will happily stay in the world of patchwork. This book easily takes the place of an intro class, covering everything from fabric types and colors, batting, pins, needles and thread, to piecing, and quilting techniques. Twelve patterns that any level of quilter will love mix traditional blocks and looks with clean, fresh settings to create appealing quilts with modern flair.
