Fabric collage, a simple and fun quilting method developed by Rosemary Eichorn, uses soft-edge applique and other embellishments to piece fabric together in unusual and surprising ways. Starting with simple-to-understand and useful design ideas, Rosemary leads you through every step to make the wonderful garments showcased throughout The Art of Fabric Collage. The methods are easy to follow, and Rosemary encourages you to express your creative energy. Experiment with color, design, and fabric while learning how to do a variety of surface-design techniques, including free-motion stitching, continuous-strip prairie points, and interesting closures. Rosemary also shows principles of composition illustrated with examples of collages she has created and used for vests, jackets, quilts, and wall hangings. Adapting garment patterns for a variety of figure-flattering styles is a snap with the step-by-step instructions.
