Book Review – Starter Guide to Creating Art Quilts
Are you ready for a new beginning? Country Threads’ best-selling design team is returning with a fresh appearance. Mary Etherington and Connie Tesene, longtime designers and previous store owners, are noted for their patchwork Civil War-inspired quilts. Check out this book here.
In a contemporary plot twist, the design pair has switched gears and reinvented 11 of its traditional quilt patterns in brilliant, new hues. (Consider swapping in your favorite fall sweaters for a brighter spring outfit!) The blocks and scrappy fabric selections remain faithful to the Country Threads aesthetic that you know and love, regardless of the color palette.
