Linda shares with us some of the content of her latest book, which took several years in the making, but you can’t help but be impressed with the detail.
Linda herself ‘had a go’ at the techniques so that she could be fully conversant with what she was writing about and in this interview we get to see some of the work she started; some that are still a work in progress and some that she has completed, including several different styles of landscape and her soft sculpture faces.
The book also features specially selected work from 140 quilt artists from all over the world.
The book also contains over 1000 step-by-step instructions and illustrations for surface design, patchwork, applique, quilting, embellishing and finishing and so is an elegant and essential resource for today’s quilter providing tips, techniques and advice, with clear illustrations, alongside gorgeous results that are sure to inspire.
