Book Reviews of Log Cabin: Rediscovered by Machine
Book Review: A different kind of paper piecing
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't usually paper piece because I'm "economical" and hate wasting all those bits of fabric. This method is different however - the paper is on the bottom and the sewing is done on the fabric with almost no waste. Very clear instructions, a nice gallery and great diagrams make this an easy and rewarding method. Only "too bad" part is that instructions for the lovely tulip runner are not included in the book. It was pretty easy to figure out from the picture however, after a few practice blocks.
Summary of Log Cabin: Rediscovered by Machine
The Log Cabin is the number one selling quilt in America. This highly favored design becomes easier and more accurate with innovative machine methods called 'on-top' or 'top-pressed' piecing. Lines on the foundation are fabric placement lines, not stitching lines, and the block is sewn with the fabric on top and the foundation underneath - no more guessing alignment and no more holding a block to the light. In this book you'll find a dozen beautiful, traditional Log Cabin quilt patterns, such as Country Roads and Cobblestones, along with delightfully innovative designs like Victorian Topiary and From This Day Forward, a charming wedding quilt. AUTHORBIO: "Log Cabin: Rediscovered by Machine" is Brenda's first book about quiltmaking. She has been making and showing quilts since she took her first class in 1993 and teaches quilting in local workshops. Brenda Brayfield was born in Northern Ireland and immigrated with her parents to Vancouver, British Columbia as a young child. She now lives in Surrey with her husband, Roger. REVIEW: Popular Log Cabin designs now go together easier and more accurately. No more guessing alignment or holding a block to the light! Sew blocks using innovative 'top pressed' piecing, with fabric on top and foundation beneath. Dozens of traditional patterns are included, plus designs like From This Day Forward, a charming wedding quilt.General Books
