Name an illness, medical condition, or disease and you will find
quiltmaking associated with it. From Alzheimer's to Irritable Bowel
Syndrome, Lou Gehrig's Disease to Crigler-Najjar Syndrome, and for
nearly every form of cancer, millions of quilts have been made in
support of personal well-being, health education, patient advocacy,
memorialization of victims, and fundraising. In Quilts and Health,
Marsha MacDowell, Clare Luz, and Beth Donaldson explore the long
historical connection between textiles and health and its continued
and ever growing importance in contemporary society. This lavishly
illustrated book brings together hundreds of health-related
quilts-with imagery from abstract patterns to depictions of
fibromyalgia to an ovarian cancer diary-and the stories behind the
art, as told by makers, recipients, healthcare professionals, and
many others. This incredible book speaks to the healing power of
quilts and quiltmaking and to the deep connections between art and
health.
Give simple quilt blocks a touch of magic - the add-a-strip way!
Slice into basic shapes like squares, triangles and diamonds. Then
piece in a 1" strip of contrasting fabric to create dozens of new
designs! Quilters of all skill levels can piece geometric patterns
that look complex thanks to this innovative technique. Each of the
ten quilt patterns comes with a second variation to inspire your
colour choices, plus great ideas for sashing, resizing blocks and
adding your personal touch.
