At Play in the Garden of Stitch. Kovarik shares her insights and inspirations in a collection of essays and exercises focused on making stitch an active part of of composition and texture in quilted pieces. Fully illustrated examples of her techniques provide new ways to think about how these elements can bring depth to composition, texture to emotions and line to ideas. Kovarik approaches free-motion stitching in a way that is approachable, fun and many layered. Learn to:
- First, make a mess. Approach each day with a curious mind willing to make a mess of expectations. No mistakes.
- Embrace the wonky. Make the most of whatever occurs by letting the thread lead. No regrets.
- Think in thread. Make careful observations of the world for an unlimited number of pathways to pursue. No limits.
- Chart a new path. Work out solutions by using composition, layering and experimentation. No dead ends.
