Any new publication by Jo Packham is cause for immediate checking out. So when I first learned she was turning her focus to quilters and quilting with her new book Where Women Create - Quilters, it went on my Amazon Wish List months before publication.
This time, all the photos have a satiny sheen, and are clear and bright. It's organized by designer; there are 20 of them, and you can see their names by using Amazon's Look Inside! feature. There's a "mostly mod" vibe going on throughout, with Kari Meng being one notable exception. Her exquisite rouge and stone colors feature prominently in her quintessentially Euro-vintage-style chapter. Most noteworthy for me is the photo of the BACKS of some of her blocks; my very best piecing never looked that tidy.
Also featured is a guy who busts through the WWC hormone ceiling: David Butler ("the" Amy's husband). His flag-styled quilts and starry projects are divine. I've loved his Parson Gray fabric lines for their simple good looks and strong unusual colors. But his chapter is a bit disappointing because there are no sneak-peeks at his studio space.
My favorite montage is for designer Janet Bolton. Her small-scale textile picture pieces are spare, charmingly quirky, and I could look at them for hours. (But I secretly lust for her buttons.) I like that her space looks just a little messy, but very clean. You can tell that no scrap is exempt in her space.
Now, what about these "more than 80 online quilt patterns" referred to on the front cover? Here's how it works - I think; this was not so easy to figure out and the instructions are somewhat hidden. Each designer has a 12-inch square quilt block design.
