From master quilt artist Yoko Saito, "Japanese Quilting Piece by Piece" explores traditional folk themes and interprets them with a vintage, yet modern feel. Inside, you'll learn traditional patchwork techniques, such as log cabin, hexagons, baskets, and stars, sewn in soft sepia and taupe fabrics. Featuring piecework, applique, machine stitching, hand-stitching, and embroidery, these projects are a delight for anyone who loves doing needlework. You'll also discover large wall quilts as well as smaller projects, from fabric baskets and handbags to an apron and fabric cushions--all with enclosed paper patterns.
In her masterful style, Yoko Saito uses beautiful and meticulous stitching while still embracing the "wabi sabi" concept of imperfection, using odd-shaped pieces and quilting with a free mind. "Japanese Quilting Piece by Piece" invites all quilt artists to stray from conventional designs and create one-of-a-kind quilts and quilted projects.
