TitleLeadingThe
SynopsisForget step-by-step instructions and copycat designs. In The Improv Handbook for Modern Quilters , Sherri Lynn Wood presents a flexible approach to quilting that breaks free of old paradigms. Instead of traditional instructions, she presents 10 frameworks (or scores) that create a guiding, but not limiting, structure. To help quilters gain confidence, Wood also offers detailed lessons for stitching techniques key to improvisation, design and spontaneity exercises, and lessons on color. Every quilt made from one of Wood's scores will have common threads, but each one will look different because it reflects the maker's unique interpretation. Featured throughout the book are Wood's own quilts and a gallery of contributor works chosen from among the hundreds submitted when she invited volunteers to test her scores during the making of this groundbreaking work., Forget step-by-step instructions and copycat designs.

Improv Handbook
I have read it cover to cover already. I am very inspired to try many projects and techniques. I especially appreciated the skills she taught to alter less than perfect joinings. I like not to have to plan out everything ahead of time. You just start out doing one of the simple techniques and see where it goes and leads you. Very practical and doable. It's more than pretty quilt pictures but there are many pictures to help you follow the procedure or technique.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
