QUILTER'S GUIDE TO FLORAL QUILTS by Marion-Haslam

QUILTER'S GUIDE TO FLORAL QUILTS by Marion-Haslam

Flowers and quilts seem to go together. Perhaps because so many of the traditional designs used by quiltmakers are based on nature, especially plant forms, it is possible to trace the history of Western quiltmaking in terms of floral quilts. A Quilter's Guide To Floral Quilts is a flower-lover's treasure - a gallery of floral quilts, both traditional and modern, and photographed in full colour, covers applique, patchwork, and quilting, together with floral borders (many on non-floral quilts) and quilts embellished with flowers and other plant forms. In each chapter there are blocks to make, based on historical quilts and shown step by step, to create your own heirloom quilt. Where necessary templates are included.

Marion Haslam has been interested in quiltmaking for almost twenty years. Mostly self-taught, she has taught quiltmaking design in London and has seen her quilts exhibited in the UK and Europe. Her quilt 'Sunny Side Up' was selected for the Tactile Architecture juried exhibition in the USA. She is Consultant Editor for Popular Patchwork magazine and a freelance writer. Her previous books include Retro Style - Designs from the '50s (Cassell), Spooky Fun and Children's Party Time (Paragon Publishing) and The Bead Box. Marion lives in Berkshire, UK and is a member of the Quilter's Guild of the British Isles.
