Description:Some of the most fascinating and beautiful quilts in the world today are being made in Japan, and interestingly enough, the tremendous popularity of quilting there can be traced back to a famous collection of American quilts that toured major Japanese cities in 1976. Japanese needleworkers were, of course, impressed by the wonderful graphic designs in the Holstein collection, but they were especially attracted to the lovely old fabrics and the use of scraps. The Japanese have traditionally cherished old fabrics, and the idea of creating something artistic and useful from scraps appealed to the love and use of color and design that is paramount in their culture.The wonderful creations resulting from this enthusiastic quilting activity can be savored in the 135 beautiful illustrations in this book, which are divided into five broad categories: American Patterns-Hybrid Quilts; Japanese Designs; Blue and White Quilts; Country Textiles; and Kamon Quilts.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
