I would like recommendations for books that teach how to draw the different designs. I have heard from several people that if you can draw the design you can sew it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Darlene |

| I was actually looking for something like they have for kids to teach them how to draw animals and things. But this would be for quilt designs. Something with arrows to show the flow of the design so I could practice doing the designs freehand with pencil and paper, before trying to do them with thread and fabric. I don't even know if this is something that would be available...just wondering... |

| I bought one last Spring by Pam Clarke. She shows you how to use a basic grid over a block to produce many designs on a block. Some of the designs are a little complicated but with practice would be very nice. I also have a DVD, "Longarmed and Fabulous" by Mindy Casperson of Angel Threads Quilting that shows how to freehand blocks and borders using the piecing lines or just some refererence lines you put on with chalk. I quilt for other people so I don't want to mark the quilts and freehand designs are much faster. Even if I use tradional stencils I hesitate to mark the quilt so I sometimes draw from the stencil on Golden Threads paper and quilt through the paper rather than mark the quilt. |
