Quilting With Manhole Covers - A Treasure Trove of Unique Designs from the Streets of Japan
Editorial Reviews
Rob Holland, The Virtual Quilt, Aug, 1999
"...one of the most unusual, beautiful, and quirky quilt books you will find anywhere." [Shirley MacGregor] "... undertook to document the beauty of these manhole covers, and beyond that to demonstrate how naturally and beautifully they are translated into the quilter's art." "Some of the quilts are relatively close copies of the manhole covers, while others take imaginative liberties with the designs. ...All are unusual and some are breathtaking."
Martine House, Quilt Magazine; Sep. 1999
"Shirley MacGregor writes about the genesis of the book with a lot of humor and includes very interesting bits of Japanese culture and history. The layout and the beautiful photographs make this book truly enjoyable and original." "I really liked the fact that this is not another "how-to book" but an incredible source of oriental designs, which could be used in very many different ways and settings, leaving each reader free to choose her/his favorite technique to duplicate a design in fabric. It is so refreshing to find a book that encourages creativity."
