Detailing her extraordinary career as a quilt artist and teacher, this memoir of internationally-known, award-winning quilter Philippa Naylor both recounts her development as a quilt artist and serves to further inspire her many fans around the world. Filled with the same meticulous detail as her intricately designed quilts, her story travels from a child in England fascinated with sewing clothes for dolls to the high-pressure world of fashion design to a world-renowned quilter. Along the way she also shares her techniques, secrets, and the most important elements of her quilts--drama, contrast, movement, balance, depth, and layering.
