Creative Inspiration

Posted by The Appliqué Society Newsletter on Jul 6th 2015

What if? That is the question posed by author and quilt artist Victoria Findlay Wolfe in her book “Double Wedding Ring Quilts – Traditions Made Modern”. What if is the question anyone wanting to strike out on their own and create their own designs should ask themselves. What if I take a traditional block like the Double Wedding ring and cut it into different pieces? What if I create my own fabric from scraps? What if I just change one thing? You may not want to start out making a Double Wedding Ring quilt but you will certainly learn ways to step out of your box with Victoria’s “15 Minutes of Play” exercise. I found this book full of creative inspiration…steps you can take to change the way you look at and think of quilt designing. There are 13 projects in the book all working back to the Double Wedding Ring block but all created using different methods for a very modern take on a traditional block. Paper piecing, sewing curves and fabric slashing to create your own “Made-Fabric” are some of the techniques taught in this book. Instructions are clearly written and color photos abound. The included patterns are printed at 100% so no need to resize.

You need this book in your library, friend!

We already admire our former cover girl’s talent and creativity, and just knew we’d love the designs in her new book, but we are gratified to find there’s so much more. This is no quick-flip! It’s a hearty tome, full of personal, poignant stories. Victoria writes: “In this book…we will look at a traditional platform to begin with and see how we can push the limits, place a bit more of ourselves into the quilt, add our story, and push our skills into a new realm, while making personal connections that relate to our past.” We can’t put it better than that! The book’s 13 quilts build upon each other in a way that’s clearly explained and invite our creative selves to come out and play, to be challenged, to look at fabric or pattern through the lenses of our own lives and memories. This is creative dynamite, blowing up preconceived ideas of what a pattern “should” look like. You need this book in your library, friend!
