Surprising Silhouttes with Angela Madden

Surprising Silhouettes from Angela Madden

Angela introduces us to her latest book which takes its inspiration from paper cutting and the Japanese word of ‘Notan’ which means dark-light but for patchworkers it means that both the positive and negative spaces always work together.   You will be impressed by the simplicity of the idea and also of the wide range of designs that can be instantly created; and the designs are then fused into place – so no awkward sewing required.  Watch Now+ 

 

Surprising Silhouttes

Book of the Month

And Angela’s book is our Book of the Month for May. This really simple way of generating designs for quilts that she has developed will give results that will be both surprising and rewarding. 60 pages of inspiration will help you create original quilts the new easy way.
