'Just received this book and now I cannot wait to get busy. It is EXACTLY what I have been looking for, to expand my knowledge of and experiment with, the different styles and skills for improving.... or starting with your textile art. Not only is it inspirational, it includes in-depth advise, tips, and suggested projects, all with many photos and clear diagrams for you to try on every page.
A delight to own!’
It is with great pleasure that I present my book to you. It is a culmination of years of learning, teaching, experimenting and playing. It is a book that demonstrates the techniques that I have used in my practise over a number of years and contains a lot of the elements contained in my workshops.
Why small? ..because working small allows you to play and experiment and try out lots of things, and besides which, the techniques demonstrated can be used no matter what size you are working on.
There is a comprehensive section on fabric painting with step by step instructions, followed by descriptions on building the quilt backgrounds, adding focal elements, machine quilting, hand stitching and a lot more.
SORRY! NOW OUT OF PRINT.
Magical example of what happens when fabric, paint, thread etc come together
‘I've attended a workshop week with Deborah and enjoy so many aspects of her work and approach so I had no doubt I would be buying this book. Quality of the photos and the relaxing clear narrative are a good substitute for having Deborah in the room. Took my copy to my sewing group yesterday and a couple of ladies who haven't done workshops with Deborah couldn't resist ordering this excellent book.’
