Common Threads

Back Cover Information

On almost every continent, almost since the beginning of woven fabrics, quiltmaking has been an essential and exceptional art. Aside from providing a use for worn-out clothes and a source of warmth on cold nights, quilting has also served as a form of artistic expression for scores of cultures.

As you flip through this book, you'll see patterns inspired by African, Asian, European and South American originals. Rather than a needle and thread, you use pencils, markers, crayons or pastels to explore art and history from every corner of the globe.

Collect all four of MindWare's® exclusive quilt pattern books—Threads of Time, Threads of Tradition, Modern Threads and Common Threads—and immerse yourself in one of the oldest and most prized domestic arts known to humankind.

Modern Threads

Back Cover Information

In the 1970's, the art of quilting experienced a huge revival. Traditional patterns such as Log Cabin and Tumbling Blocks became popular again, but at the same time wonderful new creations emerged, using innovative textures, different mediums and abstract patterns.

Inspired by the art quilts of the last thirty years, the patterns in this book experiment with classic styles and create a new tradition. Join in, with pencils, markers, crayons and pastels and weave some contemporary classics of your own.

Back Cover Information

EXPLORE THE COLORS, THE PATTERNS AND THE ART OF QUILTING

America's exquisite tradition of quilting is a true melting pot, with influences carried over the ocean with immigrants from Holland, France, Italy and England. In these pages, you'll find patterns inspired by quilts from the golden age of quilting: the 17th through the 19th centuries.

Instead of a needle and thread, your tools are pencils, markers, crayons or pastels; rather than piecing together art from scraps or worn-out clothes and feed sacks, the textures and colors come from your imagination.

Back Cover Information

EXPERIENCE A TRADITIONAL ART, UNCHANGED THROUGH GENERATIONS

The Amish are famous for their detailed, precise quilts, with collectors traveling from around the world to communities in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. Pick up your markers (or crayons, pencils or pastels) and create your own masterpieces with the Amish-inspired patterns in this book.

"The Plain People", as the Amish call themselves, create beautifully colored, creative pieces of art with every quilt; rather than using a needle and thread, you use colors to create your own intricate details and add new textures, contrasts and tone combinations.

Collect all four of MindWare's® exclusive quilt pattern books—Threads of Time, Threads of Tradition, Modern Threads and Common Threads—and immerse yourself in one of the oldest and most prized domestic arts known to humankind.
