I love art books, books to leave on surfaces around the house to pick up and feel inspired by. Quilt Recipes is a book full of loverly photography of sweet moments in a life filled with quilts, tea and treats. A simple warm moment to dive into in moments of stress, and filled with inspiration and beautiful colours.
Quilt Recipes is the latest book from Jen Kingwell, combining her love of quilting with her love of baking. The recipes have been passed down to her from her mum.
Years in the making, Jen has dreamt of creating a book that showcases quilts in a new light, where they shine alongside stunning interior design and push the boundaries of how quilts have traditionally been perceived.
Quilt Recipes is a brilliant pairing of 12 captivating, pieced quilting projects and 9 family favourite, delectable deserts from Jen’s mum's kitchen. As quilters, stitchers, and, makers, we fill our lives with like-minded friendships, feed our souls with hand or machine stitching, and love to treat ourselves and others to decadent desserts. Whether you are a hand or machine piecer, one can relish in each recipe, whether it be a quilt or perhaps something sweet.
These patchwork quilts use a variety of techniques including, machine & hand piecing, hand applique, and hand quilting. Full-size paper patterns make template creation quick and simple.
