Quilting Party!
Quilting Party! Group Quilting for Celebration, Commemoration & Charity or Just for Fun is the latest book release by Linda Chang Teufel. Quilting Party! details how to organize a group quilting project. The ideas and techniques inside this book will inspire readers to throw a quilting party for a variety of occasions.
Tuefel’s quilting parties involve cutting a photo into squares, then each person gets one square of the photo, enlarges it and copies it onto fabric. Depending on the skill level of the participants, blocks can be completed by sewing or simply by painting or drawing with fabric markers. The finished blocks are assembled to get a fun and funky quilt. To order, contact Dragon Threads Ltd., at 1-614-841-9388 or visit www.dragonthreads.com.
