About this item

• Many quilters are rediscovering a range of traditional patchwork and quilting techniques that, at their heart, are based on recycling and reusing materials.
• A style of patchwork that is true to this ethos, and which has been around for centuries, is string patchwork with its use of sewn fabric strips.
• Due to the scrap nature of string quilts, they are good for using a wide range and eclectic mix of fabrics that, otherwise, would have gathered dust in the corner of a room.
• Best-selling author, teacher and quilter Carolyn Forster will show you how to: • Transform old clothes and bedding, off-cuts and once-loved furnishing fabrics into 10 beautiful string patchwork quilts • create your favorite designs with ease, using an array of scraps featuring traditional blocks • Ensure nothing goes to waste - included here are 8 little gifts and accessories to make with the leftovers from your quilt-making including a needle case, a quilt-notions pouch, a table runner and duffel bag.
• A small section on all the materials and notions to get started, plus an invaluable techniques chapter, is included.
• Quilters will have everything they need to create planet-conscious quilts, and in the process celebrate old quilt and patchwork methods from quilters of yore.
