Margit's Fiber Art: New Directions - Paperback

by Heinz Kagerer (Photographer), Margit Kagerer (Author)

When I started quilting in 1993 most of my quilts were pieced in a traditional way using commercial cotton fabrics. I taught myself many of the traditional patterns but always tried to add a contemporary twist. I was intrigued by geometric patterns and was also inspired by nature, first in New England and then in the Sonoran Desert in Arizona. I enjoyed creating my own designs immensely. The sequel MARGIT'S FIBERART - NEW DIRECTIONS contains most of the pieces I made during the last 5 years. By learning new techniques and using a variety of materials I changed my style and I am heading into new directions.
