Böcker av Fiona Schiffl

New edition. It's time for a new approach to creating quilting designs! The design master plan gets the most out of your design session by putting a motif through a series of steps. Whether you're new to quilting or have been quilting for years, you'll be amazed at how much the design changes. The design takes on a life of its own and creates a whole family of designs for you to choose from. If you've ever stared at a blank 12" square of paper waiting for inspiration to hit, this book is for you. Features include: where to find inspiration, what computer programs can do for the quilter (if you want to use one), the design process, aesthetics, how to create borders and getting the design quilt top ready. With around 900 illustrations, 125 concepts, 50 problems and 80 solutions, you'll never look at design in the same way again. Fiona was fed up with not being able to think of something wonderful to quilt on her quilts. An illustration computer program came into her life and that was the start of a beautiful friendship. She quickly developed a system for creating dozens to hundreds of designs from one idea. The system was so successful that she's decided to share it with you as well as hundreds of the designs that were created along the way. The great news is you don't need a computer program or to be an artist either. Many of the designs in this book are also available as patterns in From labels to whole-cloths: Volumes one and two. After creating around 200 designs during the pandemic, she had to include many of them in new editions of all three books. With 12 new pages and hundreds more designs, it couldn't be more jam packed with ideas that will unleash your creativity.

New edition with so many new designs! What's a girl to do when she creates too many quilting designs? Share them with you, of course! From labels to whole-cloths: Volume two features around 150 fancy motifs, blocks and borders suitable for any area of your quilt in a large variety of shapes and sizes. There are many designs using several of the blocks and borders that can be used for whole-cloth quilts. In 2020 I took the flower (these designs are based on) in a totally new direction and knew I had to put them in this volume. If you want to find out more about how I create so many designs, check out The design master plan: Creating motifs and borders. These designs are designed to be used in conjunction with the 180 designs featured in From labels to whole-cloths: Volume one.
