I
was having an interesting email discussion with one of our members in TN,
Christine Copenhaver. We were discussing the Marie Webster quilt challenge and
how we went about answering it. She casually wrote something about her book
that she had recently published and went on to tell me more about travel plans,
etc. Whoa, your book? I was so excited when I looked it up on Amazon.com. Its
entitled, Necktie Quilts Reinvented and it is so innovative. I have a
terrible problem getting rid of a necktie, they are so beautiful and silky. And
now I have a copy of the book!
Let
me tell you a little about it. Christine elevates necktie quilts to a place
where you have something you can really be proud of.. There are 16 projects in
the book and it includes lap quilts, wallhangings, runners, a table topper and
a pillow. She covers cleaning the ties, how to cut them the easy way with no
templates, and how to stabilize slippery fabrics so that rotary cutting is
easy. She has the projects classified as to skill level also. I love her
explanations, they are simple and straight forward and really outline what to
do. Check it out for yourself!
