Inhaltsangabe:
Quilted Planet is divided into different geographical areas and looks at how patchwork and quilting traditions have evolved around the world, as well as specific techniques unique to specific regions. Techniques featured include those from the USA, Canada, Japan, Korea, India, Central America, Egypt, England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France, and Scandinavia. Interspersed with these features on specific techniques are contemporary quilts that show how these methods have been used and evolved from their cultural roots, so for today's quilters there are no geographical constraints. For example, a German quilter might be inspired to incorporate a Japanese technique with a European design. At the back of the book is an International Gallery of Quilts, sourced from countries around the world. There is a brief introduction to basic quilting and patchwork techniques and tools, as well as a glossary and comprehensive resource section.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Celia Eddy discovered patchwork in the 1970s, and was fascinated by the infinite design possibilities of mosaic pattern. She has been quilting ever since, and is also a keen researcher of the history of patchwork and quilting in American and British traditions. Celia is Acting Heritage Officer and coordinator of The British Quilt Study Group, and a member of The Quilter's Guild of the British Isles. Inbetween giving lectures, and writing articles on quilt history, tradition, and design, she has authored a number of books. Celia runs her own on-line quilting and patchwork magazine, Quilstory (www quilt.co.uk).
