Crazy Quilting Volume I: Beyond the Basics

This is the first book in a series of Crazy Quilting instructional books. The "basics" and more are covered in this first volume. Topics include: How to apply the Principles of Design to guarantee balanced results. Take the guess work out of selecting colors of fabric and embellishment supplies. Dye your own ribbons, lace and fabric. Stitch fancy seams that are easy, always beautiful, uniformly spaced and balanced. Use diagrams of the surface embroidery, silk ribbon embroidery, and surface beading stitches to help you create these perfectly every time. Plus 94 seam designs, template patterns, and eight full size block patterns are inside. This is a great book for the novice crazy quilter or even stitchers that have never done a crazy quilt, embroidery of any kind, but want to learn to create beautiful embellished crazy quilt projects.
