The Fold Line Book Club: Free-Form Quilts and Patchwork Book
Our Book Club is back for June! Each month, we will be bringing you an exciting new sewing or sewing-related book to enjoy.
This month, we are bringing you something a little different that might pique your interest in quilting. Free-Form is an endlessly inspiring, refreshing take on precise quilting and patchwork. If you're not too sure if quilting is for you, this book might change your mind.
If you like to flick through a book before you commit, Kate will take you on a virtual tour of what's inside in this video!
In this book, internationally renowned Jessie Cutts of Cutts & Sons shows quilting doesn't need to be daunting or require meticulous measurements or lots of planning. Instead, you can design and make up your work as you go along, being playful with colour and allowing mistakes to take your projects in new creative directions.
With an emphasis on letting go of conventions and perfectionism, and instead allowing serendipity to be part of the enjoyable process of creating compositions in fabric, this book is ideal for anyone who feels intimidated by precise patterns and wants to create personal and unique quilts, with guidance on how to get there.
The projects included in the book introduce methodology while allowing space to create unique compositions. These include hand stitching a potholder or a mini quilt, experimenting with tonal stripes, and creating playful blocks and loose chequerboards.
The exercises help practise improvisation, encouraging a looser approach to patchwork without a specific project in mind. If you like to colour outside the lines, this book will bring you joy!
Price: £25.00
Projects included: 10
Oh Kate that was such an uplifting watch. You have such a warm, natural manner and I love your enthusiasm. It’s infectious and I now have a dilemma – do I spend yet more money or not… It will eat away at me today and then I’ll no doubt just order the book!
