***Free Stuff Alert***Free Stuff Alert***
Beautiful to look at, and just stuffed full of wonderful ideas, designs, and instructions! The Art of Fabric Collage is subtitled "An easy introduction to creative sewing". I'm not 100% sure about the "easy" part, but the instructions are so clear and complete, that I definitely believe that a beginner sewer with determination will get a lot out of this book.As for intermediate or better sewers, I think this book has the potential to open your eyes to new ways of using your machine. Rosemary steps you through the process of adding all kinds of interesting fabrics to a background. Once this piece is washed and dried, the edges become softened and interesting, and the new fabric can be used in all kinds of creations.
Here's the description from the publisher:
Fabric collage, which was developed by author Rosemary Eichorn, is an inspiring quilting method that allows crafters to experiment with color, design, and fabric while learning to sew. This inspiring, innovative method for the beginning sewer includes complete, easy-to-follow instructions and dozens of beautiful color photographs of finished pieces. Several surface design techniques are explored, including free-motion stitching, soft-edge applique, and continuous-strip prairie points.Leave me a comment below and next Wednesday, Sept 16, I'll randomly pick a winner!

Who doesn't love free stuff! Sounds like some fun techniques and projects for creatives who are more into mixed media than sewing.
This sounds like just the ticket to help me with my Textile Design course. I do want to work on and up-cycle classic garments that will become unique. Thanks for drawing this to my attention.
I could easily be inspired by this book !
