15 Pages. The delightful pastime of Quilting dates as far back as the 11th century, and is perhaps the easiest form of needlecraft. Using simple embroidery stitches and an idea - you can create items for your home decor that will last a lifetime. There are three forms of quilting mentioned in this book - the first is the simple technique of stitching two or three thicknesses of material together with either back stitch, chain stitch or running stitch. The second form of quilting is called Italian or Trapunto Quilting, which is the raised variety. The third form of quilting is Shadow Quilting - in this technique is worked from the wronf side with brightly colored threads for an altogether different effect. This is a delightful book that is filled with ideas! REPRODUCTION
