Follow step-by-step illustrations of weaving techniques that show how to create colorful quilts, banners, and quilted clothing. 8.5 X 11. Editorial Reviews This fascinating workbook illustrates how one craftperson explored a technique in one media, made it her own, translated it to another media, and then ran with it to create her own original pieces. Cole spent seven years studying the plaiting techniques used by Pacific Islanders in fashioning woven mats. She then adapted the technique to working with fabric strips and tubes to create fabric-plaited garments, hangings, and quilts. This book is essentially a hands-on workbook for textile artists who enjoy a challenge and would be a good purchase for textile collections in universities as well as for large public libraries. - Library Journal - Library Journal |
