This title invites readers to explore what makes them happiest in their quilting. It includes 20 original quilt designs offering a range of techniques to try. Creative exercises, practices and other valuable side bars will spark new ideas. Quilting holds rich possibilities for exploring the many joys of creativity. For some, it's a welcome bit of solitude; for others, it's a way to forge connections and a sense of community. Some find it in their design process. Some find it in curling up under the finished quilt, cup of tea in hand. Quilting Happiness invites readers to explore what makes them happiest in their quilting. The 20 original quilt designs give readers a range of techniques to try, while the creative exercises, practices and other valuable sidebars challenge them to explore ways their quilting can become even more meaningful. From finding your unique design style to using fabrics filled with memories or sharing your quilting hours, this book will spark new ideas on each rereading.
