Book Description
A complete "Step-by-Step" Course in Stained Glass Quilting! I am a quilt maker! I always have been true to this art form. I love stained glass too and always wanted to dabble in glass, however, this craft was not portable and traveling around with glass would be a dangerous adventure. How do you combine a love for quilting and marry it with stained glass? Stained Glass Quilting! In this book I go over pattern selection, fabric choices, and the steps to make your very own sample from the patterns included in this book. I have made dozens of these quilts. My favorite is "E-Kennekoi" (The Japanese word for "Koi Pond") - the quilt that is on the cover. It took over two years to complete and well over two miles of thread just to piece it! I hope you will enjoy the lessons in this book and be inspired to make a masterpiece of your own! As I always say, "Never master the mundane". A stained glass quilt is never mundane!
