Karen's
newest book!
Celtic Pieced Illusions!
Piecework enthusiasts rejoice! Now great Celtic
designs can be created with only two simple blocks. Quilters
traditionally use appliqué to create Celtic designs. Instead, Karen has
translated knot work into pieced patterns. She found she can create many
Celtic designs with two, three, or more blocks, so the possibilities are
unlimited.
Famous for her use of color and color illusion,
the author shows how to use color, texture, and value to add excitement
to Celtic quilts. She shares her simple design concepts for those who
want to design their own Celtic quilts, while providing piecing tips,
pressing options, and quilting ideas. Even beginning quilt makers can
tackle these colorful quilt patterns. Teaching tips and lesson plans are
included for quilt teachers and shop owners.Order Online
