Description
Raising the surface in quilt art is no longer just about stitching. C June Barnes explores the techniques that allow artists to create intricate raised structures, from textured quilts to three-dimensional vessels and fabric sculptures. With inspiration from some of the world's leading quilt artists, this book reveals the secrets behind these stunning effects. From simple gathering and pleating to more complex layering and padding techniques, Barnes shares invaluable technical construction tips and shows how to bring these sometimes impossible-looking structures to life. Illustrated with beautiful examples of three-dimensional quilt work, Exploring Dimension in Quilt Art is a guide for anyone looking to push the boundaries of traditional quilting.
