Synopsis
With its combination of modern techniques and traditional patterns, Quilt Art Chinese Style will be an exciting new challenge for any crafter This book combines two popular quilting styles: quilt art, which includes both trendy and timeless quilting techniques to create art objects for your home, and patchwork-- a popular technique that can be traced all the way back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907).
This book includes:
- Basic techniques for beginners
- Step-by-step instructions for small projects, including appliques, clothing accessories and handbags
- Larger projects to decorate your home, including rugs, table runners and quilts
The beautiful projects highlighted in this book have a uniquely Chinese twist--they are full of culturally-significant symbols as well as elements of Chinese gardening and painting. Each piece is meant to act as a canvas, where each crafter can show off their individual creativity, while incorporating a special Asian flair.
