We think you'll find the following books of particular interest!
Freddy's House
by Freddy Moran
C&T Publishing, 1999
112 pages, $24.95
Freddy's House is a color statement in every sense of the word. Freddy is
Freddy Moran, a quilter who discovered quilting after raising five sons.
The story starts with Freddy's actual domicile, which is dressed in vivid hues
throughout. However, the heart of the book is her quilting, which concentrates
on depicting houses of every style and sort in what can only be described as
explosive color - think Mary Englebreit and two sticks of dynamite.
Color from the Heart
by Gai Perry
C&T Publishing, 1999
112 pages, $24.95
For those of us who want to be like Freddy or at least have more mastery of
color within their own quilting, Gai Perry has offered us a step by step
procedure to develop and explore our own use of color within quilts. Set up in
workbook (or sequential class) style, Gai takes us through seven projects, each
designed to help us explore the use of color within our quilts. Since this is
one of the areas with which many of us struggle, Color from the Heart
helps us develop our own artistry and color sense. Each lesson is set up for
either individual or group implementation, making it ideal for multiple
settings. Even better, C&T offers the projects from the book in gift wrap
format, so even if you don't complete the projects you can still give them as
presents.
SkyDyes
by Mickey Lawler
C&T Publishing, 1999
112 pages, $24.95
For the truly adventurous, why not try an afternoon of sky dying?
No, that's not a typo, just the fun technique Mickey Lawler shares with us in
her book SkyDyes. There's
nothing quite like the magic of transferring color to fabric and Mickey inspires
us to be brave and give fabric painting a go. She convinces us by examples that
even things we believe to be mistakes can really be treasures, if we're willing
to appreciate the unintentional.
