Knitted Quilts & Flounces by Tessa Lorant
Quilt making is very popular, but knitted quilt patterns are hard to come by. This facsimile edition of Tessa Lorant's Knitted Quilts & Flounces, originally published in 1982, is a collection of outstanding traditional knitting patterns. It revives 24 genuine 'white knitting' designs, to charm and fascinate both the beginner and the more advanced knitter, and enable them to use their own special skills to create fantastic knitted quilts which could easily become heirlooms. Ways of assembling and dressing the pieces are discussed, and the carefully re-knitted patterns are fully illustrated in black and white in the book. There are 13 quilt and 11 flounce designs, and the average time taken to knit each pattern piece or repeat is given. The patterns are presented in readable, easy-to-follow form. Methods of assembly are discussed, and easy ways of 'turning the corner' when bordering the completed quilt with a flounce are also given.Tessa Lorant began her career as a computer programmer before marrying an author who inspired her to pursue her passion for writing. She began by writing about her passion for knitting, releasing thirteen books on the subject and patenting two knitting aids. Richard Rutt's seminal A HISTORY OF HAND KNITTING features her. Tessa Lorant Warburg wrote A VOICE AT TWILIGHT, at her husband's request, after he died of cancer. This film examines what it's like to live - and die - with the Big C.
This earned Tessa the Oddfellows Social Concern Book Award, which she received at the House of Commons. Because family members kept telling her how much the book sounded like her spouse, she decided to try her hand at fiction writing. Tessa has six thriller novels and a trilogy to her credit. She's working on a detective series called PROOF POSITIVE, as well as a book about wildflowers and more Victorian knitting patterns adapted for the twenty-first century.
