Do you have a stash of gorgeous “personality” fabrics — those prints screaming for attention — that you aren’t quite sure what to do with?\u00a0 If so, you are in for a treat!\u00a0 Jane Sassaman, quilt maker extraordinaire and whose name is synonymous with graphic, bold design — has a new book out, Patchwork Sassaman Style, Recipes for Dazzling Quilts<\/em>, published by DragonThreads<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n In it, Jane shares her principles for successfully working with large prints, such as the bigger the print, the bigger the block, and letting the fabric do the work. Those principles set the table for the meat of the book: 20 “flexible” recipes that can be adjusted “according to your taste and ingredients on hand.”<\/p>\n Each recipe is based on the mixture of bold printed fabric, such as her trademark graphic fabric designs, and traditional quilt block patterns. The excitement comes in how you blend your ingredients. In other words, how you cut into your personality fabric and what other fabrics you use in the mix. Jane explains how random cuts, “fussy” cuts, and mirror-imaging can each create a totally different look.\u00a0 The resulting quilts from the recipes are gorgeous, and the flexibility in approach means you can create all kinds of variations. This book will excite today’s “modern” quilter along with those who have been making quilts for decades.<\/p>\n Would you like to win a copy of this book?\u00a0<\/strong> Do you have an address in the United States?\u00a0 If you answered yes to both questions, please leave a comment on my blog anytime through the end of day, July 8th.\u00a0 On Monday, the 9th, I’ll select a winner, and the publisher will send a copy of this book directly to the winner!\u00a0 There will be other goodies that the publisher will be offering.\u00a0 So be sure to leave a comment!<\/p>\n And, remember, the blog hop continues through July.\u00a0 Here is the remaining schedule:<\/p>\n July 9:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Melissa Peda\u00a0 <\/a> Do you have a stash of gorgeous “personality” fabrics — those prints screaming for attention — that you aren’t quite sure what to do with?\u00a0 If so, you are in for a treat!\u00a0 Jane Sassaman, quilt maker extraordinaire and whose name is synonymous with graphic, bold design — has a new book out, Patchwork Sassaman […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7699","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gloriahansen.com\/weblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gloriahansen.com\/weblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gloriahansen.com\/weblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gloriahansen.com\/weblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gloriahansen.com\/weblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7699"}],"version-history":[{"count":23,"href":"https:\/\/www.gloriahansen.com\/weblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7699\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7724,"href":"https:\/\/www.gloriahansen.com\/weblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7699\/revisions\/7724"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gloriahansen.com\/weblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gloriahansen.com\/weblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gloriahansen.com\/weblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.gloriahansen.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Sassaman2.jpg\" "\\"Sassaman2\\"")
