Product Description

It’s no surprise that landscape themes are becoming so popular with quilters—people love nostalgic scenes of undulating furrows in a winter field, glorious sunsets, majestic mountain ranges, and peaceful seashores. That’s what this compendium of patterns offers, with examples from some of the world’s leading landscape quiltmakers. It comes with a veritable workshop on technique led by one of the craft’s best designers and instructors and a full range of styles from realism to abstraction, from ancestral sites to favorite vacation spots. The fully illustrated instructions and striking photos of finished projects include imaginative tips on mastering the rules of design (and breaking them properly) so that materials, textures, and stitches create just the right mood.

Landscape in Contemporary Quilts5
An excellent book to use as an inspirational resource and a how-to book. The pictures are beutiful; instructions concise. Glad to have it in my library.

A must for any serious quilt artist5
This book is beautiful, with very down-to-earth excellent principles of design and fantastic photos. It is one of the best quilted art books I have purchased.

An interesting take on landscapes4
I am thoroughly enjoying this book. I have fresh insights on what can be done with a landscape (or portion threof) and seeing how one can abstract a landscape. Fascinating!
