Synopses & ReviewsSynopsis:Looking to fuse Japanese design and modern techniques in your quilting projects? With Quilting Line + Color, you will explore color, shape, stitching, and fabric ideas from internationally known weaver, dyer, fabric artist, teacher, and quilter Yoshiko Jinzenji. Yoshiko brings a fresh, contemporary vision to the quilting scene with more than 30 gorgeous projects, accompanied by precise instructions and detailed illustrations. From bed-size quilts to bags and pillows, you will learn to create innovative pieces while trying out new and traditional techniques. In Quilting Line + Color, Yoshiko delves into the interplay of shape and fabric, set off to striking effect with white fabric and stitching. Her asymmetrical and graphic use of color takes on a fresh, painterly feel. She shares her artistry and philosophy with you as she teaches you how to cut, piece, and stitch a variety of designs—from patchwork and innovative uses of appliqué and reverse appliqué to layered transparent fabrics and handstitching. Quilting Line + Color gives you an uncomplicated approach to adventurous yet beautifully balanced quilts. About the AuthorYoshiko Jinzenji has been quilting for more than three decades and teaching for two. During her thirty years of artisanal quiltmaking, she has synthesized a wide range of cultural styles, and her work has been exhibited around the world, with pieces in the permanent collection of the Museum of Art and Design, The Victoria and Albert Museum, New England Quilt Museum, and the Spencer Museum of Art at The University of Kansas. Yoshiko has authored multiple books, including Quilt Artistry, and teaches quilting and fabric dyeing in Japan and in Bali.
