Description of  The Improv Handbook for Modern Quilters: A Guide to Creating, Quilting, and Living Courageously

Denyse Schmidt is one of the leading quilters of the 21st century. Known as a modern quilter, she actually draws much of her creative vision from quilts of the past. In Denyse Schmidt: Modern Quilts, Traditional Inspiration, Schmidt pays homage to the quilters and quilts that came before her. Each of the 20 traditional quilt designs she has reinterpreted here (among them are Irish Chain, Mariners Compass, and Orange Peel, to name a few) is introduced with a lively overview of the patterns history. Instructions are illustrated, templates are provided at full size on a pullout pattern sheet, and a complete techniques section is included at the back of the book. Enjoy Subscribe
