From quilt artist Yoko Saito,
Japanese Quilting Piece by Piece
explores traditional folk themes and interprets themwith a vintage, yet modern feel. The projects in this bookuse traditional patchwork techniques such as log cabin,hexagons, baskets, and stars, sewn in soft sepia and taupefabrics. Featuring piecework, appliqué, machine stitching,handstitching, and embroidery, these projects are a delightfor anyone who loves doing needlework.In this book, quilt artists will discover large wall quilts aswell as smaller projects, from fabric baskets and handbagsto an apron and fabric cushions—all with enclosed paperpatterns.In her masterful style, Yoko Saito uses beautiful andmeticulous stitching while still embracing the
wabi sabi
concept of imperfection, using odd-shaped pieces andquilting with a free mind.
Japanese Quilting Piece by Piece
invites all quilt artists to stray from conventional designsand create one-of-a-kind quilts and quilted projects.
