GEMOLOGY - Transforming Fabrics into Facets

Andrea Tsang Jackson is an artist, designer, and quilter based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Quilting is the medium through which she explores her interests in geometry, material, and place. In this book, Andrea guides readers through transforming the beauty, allure, and power of natural stones into glittering complex patchwork quilts. She provides a master plan for the color work required to achieve effective transparency and light with fabric selection. Readers will be able to paper piece their way to a jewelry box of blocks. Beginning with nine traditional gemstone shapes, such as teardrop, marquis, and emerald cuts, each block progresses in complexity so quilters can hone their skills as they work their way through the book.
