Learn how to create stunning, heirloom-quality quilts for your home with the 23 designs in Quilting by Hand. The projects in this book are diverse, versatile and fit for a bed, a couch, or for a new baby to grow into. Riane starts with the basics: instructions will include tutorials for both hand piecing and machine piecing, as well as other beginner-friendly handwork techniques. With thoughtful details that are interesting but minimal, designs will provide a mix of quilt complexity; some quilts can be completed in a weekend, and others may take weeks or months. Riane Elise brings quilting to the forefront with her natural and modern approach, focussing on craftsmanship, tradition, contemporary design, slow stitching, and making with intention.

Hand quilting is slow — really slow. But for the beginning quilter, decorative quilting patterns are best worked by hand because you have complete control. Hand quilting is much easier to pick up on than machine quilting.

Sewing machines are speedier--but, increasingly, quilters are discovering that working by hand provides even more pleasure and superior results. And world-renowned quilt maker, teacher, author, and show judge Nancy Brenan Daniel has created an inspiring guide just for them, with ideas for 18 varied and beautiful hand-sewn quilts. Her detailed instructions cover it all, from making the blocks and stitching them together to adding borders and binding. Many of the designs come straight from Nancy’s own antique collection, and they’re pieced, appliquéd, and even stenciled. Several traditional and much loved patterns--including the Courthouse Log Cabin, Shoo-fly, Prickly Pear, and Windblown Daisy--are accompanied by a contemporary appliqué quilt and a small hand-embroidered wall hanging.
