Popular quilt artist Yoko Saito was first fascinated by American patchwork quilts.The appeal of traditional patterns is that each one has a story behind it. For example, the Mayflower was used by British immigrants who sewed together scraps of fabric to keep warm during their self-sufficient life in America. This pattern can be said to be the starting point of American quilting. The chimney sweep was also loved as a symbol of good luck because he cleaned the fireplace used for heating and cooking on behalf of the family, preventing fires.The patterns that were developed during the pioneering era have a history, and the techniques developed at that time have been passed down to modern quilts.The traditional patterns are arranged to suit modern lifestyles, and are carefully explained with photos and illustrations so that even beginners can make them easily.If you think quilting is too much work, why not try making a pattern first?You can make bags or pouches, or you can have fun even if you don't quilt.Contains 32 patterns, 4 tapestries that you can make by combining the patterns, and 24 practical items such as bags, pouches, and interior accessories.
