Purr-fect Patchwork cover

Embrace your inner cat lady with contemporary cat-themed projects! Play with texture and style to create 16 unique projects from bags and décor to seven different quilts.

Use dozens of techniques from basic piecing, hand embroidery, and machine sewing for a vintage-meets-modern aesthetic. Experiment with different textiles and fabrics to create bags, accessories, home décor, and quilts.

Sixten projects based on cat designs which include quilts, bags, cushions and other accessories. Techniques are covered first with a description of a cat block which is used in several of the projects. Both hand and free motion embroidery are covered along with applique options. 

A section on continuous bias binding is included as there are some curved projects which require this. Different fabrics options are discussed including the repurposing of clothing. Quilt backings are looked at before moving to the projects themselves. There are pattern templates which require enlarging. 

There are cushions, several bags, a table runner, several smaller items which include a couple of sewing accessories and six quilts. There are no quilting instructions but detail can be seen in the images. These bright, fun quilts and projects will certainly appeal to cat lovers.
