Whitework Quilting

Product Information

Whitework Quilting by Karen C. McTavish is here!!! 

Whitework Quilting, Karen McTavish’s reprinted book, combines the best of how-to, history and art. Karen has amassed 60 award-winning quilts and each is displayed on their own two-page spread. This book is more than a how-to book; it is a comprehensive guide to wholecloth quilting. Karen’s insight, from the first chapter on using architecture to influence design to the last on incorporating her techniques to a pieced quilt top, clearly explains the concepts for creating custom heirloom quilts.

This book moves beyond the typical how-to instructional guide. The photography was done by one of the counties best quilt photographers. His expertise is evident in the incredibly detailed pictures of the quilts; some shots allow the reader to see each quilted stitch. In addition to these studio shots you will see sumptuous location photography. A select number of quilts were taken to two wonderfully preserved Victorian mansions; one operating as a B&B and the other a museum. The quilts were then photographed in natural light, draped on antique furniture and placed in settings that offer the reader a glimpse into a long-ago world of wholecloth elegance.

Whitework Quilting comes with a hardcover, 192 pages, and page-marker ribbon. It is full colour throughout and jam-packed with information.
