"To create with one's own hands means leaving one's mark in the world, and that is a positive thing."
This lovely quote from the author aptly describes what's at the heart of every artist's compulsion to create. Works of nature have always been a draw to those who are moved by creating. In this book Yoko Saito offers her expression of nature through textiles and designs. Beginning with Plants Through the Four Seasons followed by Strolling with Greenery, bags, pouches, and totes are adorned with this delightful imagery. Her appliqué in all its beauty takes the fauna and flora of the authors country, Japan to new and exciting levels. Each project, highly detailed artwork in itself, will be the envy of those who encounter one of these beautiful bags. Finally, for those who must have a quilt, two are included in the array of projects.
If a person wanted to learn about appliqué, this book contains the best instruction for learning the technique. Illustrations along with supporting photography takes the student through each step of needle-turn appliqué. Instructions also include managing zippers, pleats, hand quilting, basting, embroidery, and binding. You won't be able to wait to get your hands on this one!
