Have you see Sue Bleiweiss's new book? It's really fabulous!
Sue has filled her book with lots of wonderful stuff including where to find inspiration, using a sketchbook, ideas for free motion quilting and embellishments. There is even a super easy method for dying fabric.
Some art quilt books are filled with techniques and information about process, but Sue's book also includes real projects and patterns including a backpack and pillows. This makes the book a really excellent resource and source of inspiration.
Plus, there are nine contributors who all created quilts especially for Sue's book using their own fusing techniques. I'm thrilled to be included!
Here's my quilt Windows Arise. It's 12x12 inches.
I wanted to show that you can fuse bits of sheer fabrics like organza and chiffon to create interesting layers in a fabric collage.
You know when there's a Blog Hop there's a giveaway! So, I'm happy to give away a copy of Sue's book. Just comment here and I'll pick a winner on May 14. Plus, Sue is giving away a whole pack of goodies. Check this out.
Leave a comment on any of the blogs in the blog hop for a chance to win Sue's giveaway. Or you could just buy the book today and have it in a couple of days.
