Summary

Quilters are forever looking for dynamic designs, especially ones that are both simple and eye-catching. All 15 featured Picture Patchwork designs can be made with simple squares -- the most basic shape of all, but the author has added some additional touches (optional) with the nine-patch, half-squares, and sawtooth, plus a few appliqué flourishes. In creating these novelty quilts, Jo Ann took her inspiration from cross-stitch graphs using a pixelated approach, which follows charts for color and placement. These are ideal for using pre-cuts (charms and mini-charms) as well as stash fabrics, and nothing will keep quilters of all skill levels from tackling any of the designs. They can even sprinkle in some of their own creativity if desired. Depending on the fabric a quilter chooses these charted designs can take on a modern spin or be utterly traditional. Picture Patchwork will have you looking at the endless supply of cross-stitch grids through a quilter's eye and serves as a self-purchase or gift title for all levels of quilting enthusiasts.

  • The Harmony of Nature - A Comprehensive Approach to Sustainable Development With Permaculture - cover

    The Harmony of Nature - A...

    By enabling systems to exhibit their own development, permaculture follows a philosophy of working with nature rather than against it, of long-term observation rather than hasty action, of considering systems in all of their roles rather than focusing on a single output.    To put it another way, the vast majority of the species (and biomass) in a farmed environment are meant for human consumption or the use of animals. A small portion of the entire primordial or natural species assemblage is accessible to us, but we are not the exclusive beneficiaries of that portion. The plants we grow in our own gardens, on the other hand, are all chosen for their ability to directly benefit us as gardeners. Designing a home revolves around the requirements of its inhabitants, making it a human-centered endeavor (anthropocentric).    In order to preserve wilderness, we need both a human-centered morality and a focus on the natural world. As long as we don't control our monetary cravings, we won't be able to do any good for the natural world. Achieving this goal will enable us to leave most of the agricultural landscape behind, allowing natural systems to thrive.    All of this and much more are discussed in this book with exhaustive research and systematic steps for your benefit and thought-provoking and persuasive information.
