Back Cover Information

Create a colorful miniature Baltimore quilt using surface embroidery and stumpwork techniques, all explained with detailed instructions and step-by-step photographs.

Traditional nineteenth century motifs from the Baltimore Album era, worked with needlelace slips, ribbon embroidery and wrapped beads, are presented on nine exquisite blocks. Together, they form a stunning quilt you will be proud to display.

Author Helen MarshallAbout the Author

Highly respected in the world of quilts, Helen Marshall works on commissions, curates and coordinates exhibitions, writes for magazines and has devised a series of patchwork lessons which are taught through the online Quilt University based in Virginia, USA. She has recently written a book, 'Wheel of Mystery', Surprising Designs from a Classic Block'.

Helen has taught embroidery for a long time and like the extra dimension achieved by adding embroidery, either by hand or machine, to patchwork. In her classes she tries to present new ideas each year and says her 'What happens if...?' policy with her students produces lots of fun and fascinating results.

Like many needlwomen, Helen finds inspiration in her garden and the landscape around her. In an interesting extension of her embroidery activities, Helen has been responsible for organizing a collection of tactile books for visually impaired children.
