Battleaxe, a kinsman of Fergus Mor, the sixth-century-ruler of the
ancient kingdom of Dalriada. Lands given to the clan chief included
the isle of Mull, off the west coast of Scotland. During the 16th
century the Campbells emerged as the most powerful clan in the West
Highlands. Several marriages took place between the Macleans and

MacCormick, MacFadyen, Macgeachan, MacVey, Patten and Rankin.
Scientists, thinkers and writers in the Scottish Enlightenment used
'commonplace notebooks' to record thoughts and ideas. Many British
writers such as Virginia Woolf and Arthur Conan Doyle continued to
use them. Tartan belongs to Scottish heritage and culture, and
thrives today both at home and overseas. There are now over 7,000
tartans officially recorded in the Scottish Register of Tartans
located within the National Archive of Scotland. Waverley Books
(Waverley Scotland) are delighted to innovate on the commonplace
notebook idea with the Waverley tartan notebooks bound in genuine
tartan cloth supplied by kilt makers and tailors Kinloch Anderson,
Edinburgh.

Textile Landscapes demonstrates how to develop your approach to
textile art with a focus on using found objects and paint and
stitch on cloth and paper. Cas explains how to exploit the contrast
between the hands-on textural quality of working with fabrics and
threads and the spontaneity and movement of brush marks to lend a
painterly quality to your work. She begins with the basics -
keeping a sketchbook to generate ideas, painting and stitching on
cloth and on paper and working digitally; Inspiring Landscapes
looks at natural and urban space, the changing seasons and great
landscapes as well as intimate spaces and travel diaries; Painting
and Marking with Cloth explains the practical aspects of painting
and dyeing cloth and how to make connections between paint, print,
dye, stencil and stitch; Stitch-scapes looks at the different forms
of landscape, experimenting with photographs and prints and how to
translate those images using ink, stitch, abstract and collage
techniques and then at how to transform the image using digital
techniques; On Closer Inspection covers using elements and details
from landscape and the environment as found objects and for
research; finally People and Place explores the relationship we
have with the outdoors and the built environment, as well as
personal interpretations of place. The book includes artworks by
the author that explore the UK, USA, Europe and Australia, as well
as works by other internationally renowned textile artists. A
creative guide ideal for textile artists of all levels - students,
teachers and practising artists and makers - to make unique and
beautiful work inspired by the world around us.
With his unerring eye, Kaffe has succeeded in finding the perfect
location for his exquisite new collection of quilts, featuring both
his scintillating new fabric designs and his classics, all in his
unique color palette. This time he has chosen the medieval English
village of Lavenham in Suffolk, where the 19 quilts in this book
are set off against the ancient half-timbered Tudor houses. They
are displayed in all their glory in a sumptuous eye-catching quilt
gallery. Included in this set of new designs are many very special
ones by Kaffe, and several by his long-time friend and co-designer,
Liza Prior Lucy. Kaffe's Starry Night, featured on the cover, fussy
cuts some of his brilliant floral fabrics in deep rich colors to
great effect, setting them off by surrounding stars in his Shot
Cottons. Shards translates the traditional Broken Dishes design
into deliciously soft and subtle blends of pastel fabrics, shown
off to perfection against the pale plaster and weathered timbers of
the Lavenham houses. In a quite different vein, the boldly
contrasting background stripes in black and white fabric in
Blooming Columns make a dramatic contrast to the huge fussy-cut
flowers appliqued onto it. This book--the 23rd in the
series--includes a range of quilts for all skill levels, from
beginners to advanced. Shaded Squares is one such lovely quilt for
first timers, with its cleverly shaded squares each made up from
two large triangles, one plain and one striped in Kaffe's Shot
Cotton and Wide Stripe fabrics. Flat shots, a practical know-how
section and glossary, back up the fully illustrated, step-by-step
instructions for each quilt.
