The Quilted Garden

A collection of projects for making quilts based on the theme of garden flowers and plants. Jane A. Sassaman walks the reader through two projects using raw-edge or turned-edge applique and surface embroidery by machine. There are exercises demonstrating how to nurture your designs, sharpen your powers of observation, and capture the animation of a random field or garden. The book includes a colour gallery of 60 of the author's nature-inspired quilts.
