15 Modern Designs with a Vintage Vibe

A beautiful book on the tradition of kantha, an Indian embroidery technique with a rich heritage rooted in storytelling and upcycling, with inspiration and techniques for contemporary makers.

The word 'kantha' is believed to have originated from the Sanskrit word 'kontha', meaning rags. It refers to both the style of running stitch, as well as the finished cloth: quilted textiles made from multiple layers of cast-off cloth embroidered with threads pulled out from the borders of old saris and dhotis. These beautiful fabrics were created exclusively by women in the Bengal region of the Indian subcontinent.

In this richly illustrated book, award-winning textile artist Ekta Kaul explores the history of the kantha tradition. She finds objects of extraordinary beauty that were created to be given as gifts often passing from mother to daughter and also used as part of rituals celebrating rites of passage like birth, marriage and death.

Today, kantha has inspired artists and designers across nations and cultures to reimagine tradition. This book showcases inspiring interpretations of the kantha spirit and discusses creative techniques to help you develop your own, featuring a dictionary of fundamental kantha stitches with supporting images and instructions.

Steeped in the ethos of sustainability, emotional repair and mindful making, kantha is the very essence of green design, and will lead you to uncover a slower, and more thoughtful, approach to craft.

Quilters are forever looking for dynamic designs, especially ones that are both simple and eye-catching. All featured 15 Picture Patchwork designs can be made with simple squares -- the most basic shape of all, but the author has added some additional touches (optional) with the nine-patch, half-squares, and sawtooth, plus a few appliqué flourishes. In creating these novelty quilts, Jo Ann took her inspiration from cross-stitch graphs using a pixelated approach, which follows charts for color and placement. Depending on the fabric a quilter chooses these charted designs can take on a modern spin or be utterly traditional.

¿Die Gebäude, die in unserer Erinnerung den Geist der Architektur der 50er und 60er Jahre verkörpern, sind die, deren Abbildungen überall durch Magazine und Bücher verbreitet wurden. Doch was ist mit denen, die irgendwo auf der Strecke geblieben und kaum oder nie veröffentlicht wurden? Der Austausch von visuellen Informationen ist ausschlaggebend für die Entwicklung und Förderung von Architekturströmungen. Wenn ein Gebäude nicht weithin bekannt ist und seine Fotos kaum oder nie publiziert werden, so wird es niemals Gegenstand des architektonischen Diskurses werden. Viele der von Julius Shulman fotografierten Bauten erlitten dieses Schicksal - sie wurden vergessen. Mit diesem Buch bringt TASCHEN sie zurück ans Licht und würdigt den kalifornischen Modernismus in all seinen Formen. Das bisher wenig beachtete Archiv von Julius Shulman zeigt uns eine andere Seite des Modernismus, um die es so viele Jahre lang ruhig gewesen ist. Modernism Rediscovered versammelt beinahe 300 vergessene Meisterwerke und zollt den weniger bekannten, doch hervorragenden Vertretern der modernen Architekturbewegung Tribut. Es ist, als schleiche man sich in eine private Geschichte und in Häuser hinein, die bis jetzt nur selten wahrgenommen und kaum geschätzt wurden.

The first major publication to explore the prolific career of Kaffe Fassett, one of the most recognized names in contemporary craft and design Kaffe Fassett (b. 1937) is one of the most recognized names in contemporary craft and design with work encompassing knitting, needlepoint, quilting, textile design, mosaic, painting, and drawing. Fassett's sense of color and pattern has inspired makers around the world; his early successes include knitwear designs for fashion designers such as Bill Gibb and Missoni, and in more recent years he has collaborated with the luxury fashion house Coach. His inimitable eye can translate the most everyday of details into the basis for one of his colorful, sophisticated, maximalist designs. This book explores Fassett's career and work in context for the first time, highlighting and widening the scope of his output over more than five decades. Drawing on original artworks, photographs, and archival material, it illuminates the work of this distinctive, influential artist and designer. Essays from design and fashion historians sit alongside striking visual material and insightful interviews with Fassett that provide additional context about this prolific artist. Published in association with the Fashion and Textile Museum Exhibition Schedule: Fashion and Textile Museum, London &gt;Dovecot Studios, Edinburgh &gt;Millesgarden Museum, Sweden (September 2023-February 2024)

A Step-By-Step Guide to Patchwork and Quilting

The Quilting Book

A vibrant, in-depth survey of the techniques and traditions of patchwork around the world. What do Korean bojagi wrapping cloths, Cameroonian Bamileke boubous, Peruvian montera hats and Hungarian cifraszür shepherd cloaks have in common? Each is made using the ancient technique of patchwork - the art of juxtaposing fabrics and motifs to create blankets, clothes, accessories and more. Catherine Legrand, who has spent many years travelling and researching textiles, has a deep knowledge of the techniques and traditions that characterize patchwork. Pieced together much like the gorgeous textiles it portrays, her beautifully illustrated book features over 300 dazzling photographs of patchwork around the world. She takes the reader from Europe and the Americas to Africa and Asia, where these ancient traditions still survive and patchwork is part of the fabric of everyday life. Textile artists, patchwork enthusiasts and travellers alike will find an endless source of inspiration on the pages of this celebration of the beauty and diversity of patchwork.
