Breathing new life into unwanted silk garments has never been easier! Patchwork Luxe by Julia McLeod focuses on sourcing and creating sustainable, sentimental, and elegant quilts from reclaimed silk. She demystifies the challenges of working with silk--with techniques like fusing to interfacing, foundation piecing, and fussy cutting. The book includes interesting silk facts and history, 9 projects--from pillows to throws, and a stunning gallery of silk quilts. Best of all is the emphasis on sustainability--giving new life to vintage ties, scarves, and garments instead of letting them go to waste. This guide will help you create heirloom-quality quilts with beauty and purpose.-- "Quiltmaker Magazine"
