JENNY'S
HERITAGE
A new quilt and book from the Studio of Jenny and Simon Haskins
As well
as the Jenny's Heritage quilt and 16 pillows the book is filled
with spectacular techniques to dazzle and inspire quilters and
embroiderers alike. The book also includes a revolutionary 'perfect
every time embroidery technique that is easy, fun and simple to
achieve!
Jenny's
Heritage also includes a FREE CD with the 47 designs needed to
make this quilt and the 16 pillows, the CD alone is worth the
cost of the book.
The first
quilt Jenny designed and made was a cream tone-on-tone quilt back
in 1992. This quilt was called The Heritage and introduced the
first 'block-of-the-month' quilt to be taught in sewing machine
dealers' stores across Australia. Jenny's goal in making this
stunning quilt was to introduce machinists to quilting with simple
techniques and basic quilting. In doing this, sewers gained confidence,
learned new techniques and made a beautiful quilt. 'Just because
a quilt (or anything for that matter) is beautiful doesn't mean
it has to be difficult', is Jenny's catchphrase. The Heritage
quilt was the most successful quilt taught in Australia, with
ongoing classes for over five years. Hundreds of The Heritage
quilts were made. Sewers now had a fresh approach to quilting,
gaining confidence and the wonderful self-validation that completing
a quilt gives to the creator.
Jenny's
Heritage is a quilt designed to do for machine embroiderers what
The Heritage quilt did for sewers. It is as effortless as it is
stunning - introducing sewers to a machine embroidered quilt and
teaching the more experienced quilters some of Jenny's time-honored
techniques, ones she has not published to date. No embroidery
designs are embroidered directly onto the quilt. Instead, Jenny
employs a user-friendly cut-and-paste technique called Embroidered
Decoupage - an approach that is amazing in its simplicity when
it comes to machine embroidered quilts. You simply cannot fail
with Jenny's Heritage. Choose to make just one or two blocks from
the quilt or several of the 16 glorious pillows we have included
in this book - or 'spread your wings and soar with the eagles'
and make the whole quilt. Go on! Grab hold of your courage with
both hands and join Jenny as she gently guides you through her
latest creation - Jenny's Heritage. You can't fail!
