Another fabulous book from Joyce Hughes!?Joyce provides detailed descriptions for needed supplies and how to use each item so that even beginner quilters can enjoy her technique. Her instructions are very clear and she includes many close up photographs that really show the reader the progressions of depth as you add each color/type of thread. There's some really useful hints scattered around each section! The quilt design is just gorgeous and I would be hard-pressed to have to choose a favorite block out of the quilt! As you work through this book, you'll be amazed at how your skills with your machine are improved!

Exploring texture and detail with thread painting has never seemed so easy...or so much FUN!

This book takes appliqu? to a whole new level.
