Jenny Haskin's New Quilt Roses for Mary Book Review

Jenny Haskin's New Quilt Roses for Mary Book Feature

• Jenny Haskins seems to go from strength to strength with her brilliant machine embroidery and quilting, winning a first and third at the prestigious Houston Quilt Show in the inaugural Machine Embroidered quilt category
• Once again she returns to her favourite bloom, the rose, and with this gorgeous new quilt she calls Roses for Mary, she invites you to share her clever techniques to produce an object of exquisite beauty.
• Designed and digitised with long-and-short stitch, Jenny once again gives her projects the lustrous sheen of handwork but on a much grander application. Roses for Mary is a ground-breaking quilt that steps outside the usual square format because it is constructed from panels, where the size and shape are determined by the embroideries they contain.
• The rose swag, for instance, is a long design on a wide rectangular panel. The corners of the center medallion are embroidered on triangles. See how Jenny has looked to nature when creating these floral embroideries. A naturalistic lack of symmetry gives an easy sense of movement and grace to her superbly crafted training rose designs
• includes templates, plus bonus 7 inspirational dresses

In Roses for Mary the reader invites you to join her on a tour of other possibilities using these gorgeous machine embroidery designs. As if this were not enough, there is also a peek into Jenny's fabulous inspiration wardrobe which shows just what is achievable with a modicum of skill, application and the will to push the boundaries and try something different.
