Title: Complex colorwork
Product review: This book is a beautiful study of the author's distinctive threadwork. Equal parts quilting and thread-overlay, her work is known to be seminal in the treatment of quilts as a background for thread artistry. No new quilting techniques are introduced, but the techniques of the thread overstiching that are her signature approach are carefully elaborated. Beginners will appreciate her assessment of the textures and difficulties involved in special threads (silk, rayon, mohair, etc), but the difficulty of actually executing some of her ideas can be over-simplified. A worthwhile and exquisite book for all quilters and applique artists, but perhaps a handful for the beginner to approach.
