{"product_id":"instinctive-quilt-art","title":"Instinctive Quilt Art","description":"Bethan Ash's rich, colourful  quilts are created using improvisational collage techniques. Working  instinctively, she simply layers fabric shapes onto a prepared  background and fuses them down, then adds stitching later. Each quilt is  cut freehand, without the use of rulers or templates. In this  groundbreaking book, she reveals the secrets of how she works, from  basic dyeing and fusing techniques to design- and colour-awareness  exercises and mixed-media experiments. In clear, easy-to-follow text,  she gives the reader invaluable information on method, materials,  technique and composition, and shows that improvisational quiltmaking is  not merely 'messing about with fabric', but instead can form the basis  of working freely and is the optimal way of broadening the reader's  artistic talent.\n\n\n\nIllustrated with the best examples of fused  quilts from around the world, this book is a visual feast of colour and  pattern, and allows the reader to discover how the boundaries of  traditional quiltmaking can be expanded through the use of imagination,  inspiration and fusion.","brand":"Pavilion Books","offers":[{"title":"New - Hardback","offer_id":32686149075029,"sku":"9781849940092N","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/9781849940092.jpg?v=1598878980","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/instinctive-quilt-art","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
