Old Quilts New Life





I just purchased Sarah Fielke's new book called Old Quilts New Life.  I absolutely love it.  She has made 18 projects inspired by quilts from the American Folk Art Museum.  She includes the history of the quilts and does 2 projects for each quilt that she has shown.  One project is her interpretation of the quilt and the second one is taking an element from the quilt and designing a quilt using that element.

I love antique quilts and also the use of color and design that Sarah does.  So the book is a win, win for me!

Here is just a small sampling of the quilts from the book:





More quilts just got added to my list!! :-)

Happy Sewing,
