Sprinkled with personal anecdotes and photos, this book is alternately humorous and inspiring, instructive and charming. It tells her story as she shares instructions and patterns for making a number of the beloved projects introduced in her lap quilting television series. From Lap Quilting Your Legacy Quilt to Crazy Patch purses and vests, there is something here for everyone. Some of the charming projects presented include The Ice Cream Quilt, Sashiko Soft Box, Happy Chicken, Weave of Wonder, and more. The Strip Picture Piecing chapter highlights landscaped wall quilts in her trademark, easy-to-sew vertical strips. Well known for pioneering wearable art, Georgia includes a whimsical vest and jacket section, called Get Real Garments. It's like having a private sewing lesson in your home. AUTHORBIO: What began as a hobby for Georgia Bonesteel has developed into a highly visible career for more than 30 years. She is perhaps best known for her role in bringing her art into the homes of people across the country through Lap Quilting, produced by The Center of North Caroline Public TV, seen on many television stations. Her goal has been to refine the traditional methods to provide a quicker and easier way to make quilts, without sacrificing quality. REVIEW: Quiltmaking Legacy by Georgia Bonesteel provides a TV show hostess' easily-reproduced patterns for both blocks and beginning quilt landscapes and other projects. The very simple projects present a photo and large pattern with easy directions, making Quiltmaking Legacy especially appropriate for beginners. |
