The Portable Crafter: Quilting

by Mary Jo Hiney

Mary Jo Hiney, the prolific and popular author of such books as Quiltagami and Sewing for the First Time® , creates a brilliantly creative collection for the quilter on the go. All these projects are perfect to take and do anywhere, and they transform traditional styles with contemporary touches such as beading, embroidery, and strong graphics. Use the yoyo technique to create a silk case ideal for a cell phone. Make a small handbag with a rope handle out of needle-turn and freezer paper appliqué. A bold and bright pillow gives a new spin to an old the Clamshell pattern. Every item is simple--and simply gorgeous.
