Welsh Quilting Design by Sandie Lush will be an excellent addition to any quilters library. I have to admit, I keep saying that making a Welsh quilt will be my retirement project. I purchase any books that look good and this one is FANTASTIC!
Sandie wrote this from the perspective of history, not so much as a "learn to hand quilt". The designs and photos are simply incredible. It starts out with basic motifs and takes the reader on a step by step process to create amazing designs. She adds in grid layouts, borders, background fillers and so much more.
I am sharing a very small amount of this book. It's packed with amazing designs, layouts, step by step samples of creating complete quilts. Your finished layout can be a basic motif repeated across the quilt top, or complex with a multitude of ideas and designs.
There are several full quilt designs. I highly recommend this for any hand quilt enthusiast. The ideas go on and on. Every page brings something new and interesting.
I do hope you will go online and purchase this book. Yes, online. She has self published this book so she was able to maintain complete control over the content. It's a must have for any quilter.
Keep stitching,
Sharon
