About The Quilting Arts Book

Here about The Quilting Arts Book.

Today's tip is for free-motion machine quilting and it comes from The Quilting Arts Book: Techniques and Inspiration for Creating One-of-a-Kind Quilts, by Patricia Bolton, a great book full of ideas, projects and tips for making artistic quilts. From principles of design to sketching to quilting and embellishment techniques to gorgeous quilts, The Quilting Arts Book is full of art quilt inspiration.
In it Robbi Joy Eklow, Quilting Arts Magazine's Goddess of the Last Minute shares her free-motion machine quilting technique and tells how to make 16 fun free-motion quilting designs. She gives many tips as well. My favorite is, "This is not billiards, in which you have to say what you plan to do before you try to do it. If you are striving for a motif and it morphs into another shape, go with it."
