Cushions Quilts

A gorgeous collection of projects for a range of cushions and quilts, all inspired by Jo Colwill's life on her Cornish farm. 14 cushion projects which show how to create the cushions themselves using patchwork and quilting, as well as the techniques for stitchery and applique details on the cushion tops. 6 quilt projects which show how to create a range of quilts of different sizes, as well as the techniques for making a quilt sandwich and machine and hand quilting. With easy-to-follow instructions, gorgeous colour photographs and delightful illustrations accompanying each project.

An introduction, with instructions and illustrations, for making cushions and machine-stitched quilts.

Building on the popularity of modern quilting, the book features 14 patchwork projects with a modern look which use rainbows as the overall color theme. The book enables readers to create their own rainbow look, from selecting which colors to use and choosing the appropriate fabrics for a project. Starting from the basics of patchwork the book includes tutorials on creating simple blocks, finishing a quilt and making an envelope cushion, alongside the basic tools and techniques used. Each of the 14 projects is broken down into easy to follow steps with detailed illustrations, making the book accessible for confident beginners as well as more seasoned quilters. The projects range in difficulty and time requirements, meaning that there is something for everyone depending in their time available and skill level. The five cushions and three mini projects are great for beginners, offering a smaller scale project that can be completed within a day and help to develop some of the skills required for making larger quilts. The six quilt projects include two large bed sized quilts, two lap quilts, a single bed quilt and a picnic blanket. All of the skills required to complete the quilts are included within the book, along with details on the authors inspiration, fabric choice and a coloring page.

Easy-to-follow, step-by-step photographs explain all the basic techniques, from stitches and seams to mitring corners, inserting zips and adding eyecatching frills, fringes, tassels, buttons and ties. Suitable for soft furnishers of all levels of skill, this invaluable book combines practical tricks of the trade and advice on home decorating with a host of stunning design ideas to give your home more character and style.

Blankets and cushions can be used to great effect as personalised, and personal items. People will keek a personalised baby blanket or cushion, and even leave it to their progeny. Such an item could easily become a family heirloom. This aspect is easily ignored, but for a few hours work, or a small outlay, a God-parent or close family friend can give a present that will be treasured for generations. It is a small price to pay for such a lasting gift. I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable.
