Radiant Landscapes Print-on-Demand Edition

In Gloria Loughman's latest book she shares her mosaic tile process for capturing the essence of natural light using fabrics. She primarily works with hand dyed and hand painted fabrics and the results are dramatic. The book contains valuable information on art theory. Everything from starting to design the quilt in your sketchbook to how to make a Faced Edge and binding is covered. I particularly like the pages and pages of art theory. You will find plenty of information on how to use color and light to your best advantage. Learn proper placement of items to capture perspective including how to create the look of forest backgrounds and waterways. Capturing light in your tiles is an important aspect of this technique. To that end you will find plenty of instruction on constructing the background including choosing fabric segments, making the tiles, cutting both square and diamond tiles and choosing the base fabric on which you will fuse the tiles. All the instructions are easy to understand and well illustrated. The beautiful photographs of the finished quilts are awe inspiring. If you have reached a place in your quilting journey where you want to step up your work and learn more about the art of color and light and how best to use it in your work you will want this book. I know I will use it as a reference book often.

It has an interesting technique. I liked her other book I have better however. She is very good training us with her book to her way of doing landscape quilts.
