Dresden Plates of Distinction (Love to Quilt)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The much-loved traditional Dresden Plate patterns shows its style in 15 original quilts. Novelty fabrics add a touch of whimsy as frogs, kittens, fairies, chili peppers, and the like. Complete instructions are given for each quilt featured. Illustrated directions are provided for hand or machine piecing the plates and to trim, press and applique them. AUTHORBIO: Sharon Stroud is an accomplished quiltmaker and teacher. A quilter since 1988, she started teaching part-time in 1991. Four years later, she quit her day job to devote more hours to teaching and quilting. Sharon's quilts have been successfully shown at state and national levels. Many of her quilts have been shown in magazine articles. Sharon lives in Groton, New York, with her husband, Floyd, two cats, and a dog. REVIEW: The book has well illustrated directions for hand or machine piecing Dresden Plates but these are Dresden Plates with a bit more wow factor than the ones your grandma may have made. By using careful template placements the Plates are transformed into wonderful works of art. You can use florals for formal quilts through to novelty prints, which add a touch of whimsy to this classic quilt block.
