his is a guide to making beautiful quilts from Lesley Turpin-Delport & other leading quilt artists. There are a host of innovative quilting techniques, illustrated in brilliant color, combined with piecing, embroidery & applique. The different quilting stitches such as stab stitch, single stitching, rocker quilting, back stitch and colonial knots as well as the different quilting techniques of ditch, contour, outline, echo, filler, trapunto and corded quilting, are all included. The techniques of whole cloth quilting, block quilting and the making of miniature quilts are simplified. Special attention is given to taking mystery out of combining different quilting with patchwork (traditional and contemporary, machine and hand), quilting with applique (such as Baltimore quilts, machine applique and shadow applique) and quilting with embroidery (as well as examples of composite embroidery stitches such as raised stem, whipped back stitch, Portuguese border stitch and so on). Instructions are given on how to attach the sashing, lining and binding to finish off a quilt.
