Piece by Piece: 20 modern patchwork and quilting projects to make from preloved fabrics is a hands-on craft book complete with patterns, tutorials and projects that use a mix of quilting, patchwork and appliqué. Designer, maker and founder of textile studio Working Cloth, Lauren MacDonald shares her enthusiasm for and knowledge of quilting with approachable warmth and humor in this indispensable guide to modern patchwork and quilting.
A homage to tradition with a contemporary aesthetic, Piece by Piece offers heritage quilt patterns in a fresh, modern color palette. The 20 projects, all designed to be made with second-hand fabrics and scraps from other projects, are simple enough for the beginner and advanced enough to keep experienced makers interested. Each of the three sections – kids and baby, homewares, and clothing and accessories – is organised in a skill-building sequence, with smaller, simpler projects at the beginning and more challenging ones towards the end. Beautifully illustrated, the step-by-step guides detail how to make a kid's and women's jacket, quilts, cushions and bolsters, a patchwork party hat and teddy bear, and more.
A manual to be treasured and leafed through for years to come, Piece by Piece encourages you to repurpose and reuse – a practice quilters have been following for centuries that now feels both timeless and timely.
