For those with a passion for textiles and travel, this is a dream book. Renowned artist Anne Kelly helps you discover fresh, creative ways for capturing your journeys in stitch, using exquisitely photographed examples of her own and others’ textiles. Kelly explores the use of maps and their iconography; the influences of different cultures, from Peru to India to Scotland; and ideas for incorporating traditional techniques, fabrics, motifs, and colors. She shows how to document meaningful moments and experiences in stitched postcards and sketchbooks—and even imagines venturing into outer space and portraying its beauty in stitch. And she looks inward too, devoting a chapter to artists whose textiles chart their own emotional journeys.

Easy Quilts from Your Closet is a guide to making the most of the fabrics you love. Quilting is a great way to recycle T-shirts, blue jeans, neckties, pj’s , and even prom dresses—to give old favorites a quick and cozy makeover. These fifteen projects teach three of the most basic quilting techniques: patchwork piecing, foundation piecing, and applique. Readers learn how to “deconstruct” their favorite garments and then reconstruct the pieces to form the small individual blocks that are stitched together to form a quilt. Block by block, they’ll learn how to make quilt tops and “sandwiches” and then decoratively stitch their surfaces by machine—with straight lines or freeform shapes. They’ll also learn how to assemble blocks to make three full sampler quilts, adding sashing, binding, and designer labels.
