Put those irresistible packs of hand dyed fabrics to workIt’s hard to resist those scrumptious packets of hand dyed fabrics, gorgeously arrayed in a rainbow of colours in the local quilt shop. We’ve all bought them on a whim, and then taken them home and been unsure how to use them.
Gail has worked with hand dyed fabrics for many years and appreciates their nuances and subtleties. She also knows from her experience as a quilt tutor the difficulties that many quiltmakers face when it comes to using these fabrics in their quilts. Gail’s detailed instructions for 15 colourful quilt projects combining hand dyed fabrics with commercial prints are accompanied by a Gallery of more stunning quilts. There are loads of diagrams and photographs throughout, and all templates required to make the project quilts are provided at full size. Gail Simpson is the proprietor and creative force behind Cotton Patch Fabrics, an Australian provider of high quality hand-dyed fabrics. She is also well known for her quilts, which are regularly featured in quiltmaking magazines.
