This title is packed with more than 90 unique quilting designs inspired by the world around us - from pebbles and waves, to plants and flowers. It also features expert advice, hints and tips on how to spot interesting patterns wherever you go, and how you can incorporate them into your quilting.

This title presents the eight elements of design - line, direction, shape, colour, value, texture, proportion, and scale - and shows you how to successfully work with these elements, either individually or in any combination.

Give simple quilt blocks a touch of magic - the add-a-strip way! Start with simple squares, triangles, and diamonds, then slice and insert a 1" strip of contrasting fabric to create dozens of new designs! Quilters of all skill levels can piece complex-looking patterns that are easy to sew. Each of Barbara Cline's 10 quilt patterns comes with variations to inspire your color choices, plus great ideas for sashing, resizing blocks, and adding your personal touch.

Ellen Anne Eddy is an internationally know fiber artist whose wall tapestries transcend the traditional concept of quilting. Using hand-dyed fabrics, sheers, laces, lame's and machine embroideries she creates the illusions of water, mist and flame. Ellen's designs blend scenes from the natural world with her own dreams and visions. Her masterful fusion of techniques and materials describe life in micro and macrocosm. Fish and bugs, frogs and birds weave in and out of her quilts, serving as a media for both social commentary and personal observation. The series of quilts featured in Thread Magic offers a rich visual treat for quilters. A comprehensive technical section provides information that will enable quilters of all skill levels to add Ellen's techniques to their own creative repertoires.
